The podcast where nervous system healing meets pelvic floor rehab. Helping you LOVE movement again and LIVE WITHOUT PAIN, PRESSURE or PEEING YOUR PANTS!

I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell — pelvic floor physical therapist, mom of 3, and your guide to embodied, empowered healing after birth. (And don’t worry, you don’t have to have birthed a child or even be a mom to benefit from this show. This is here for ALL Women, mom or not, Fit or Weak)

Here, we go way beyond kegels.

You’ll learn how to:
💫 Heal pelvic floor symptoms like leaking (incontinence), prolapse (POP), and pain (Dyspareunia, Vulvodynia etc)
💫 Rebuild core strength without making symptoms worse
💫 Move through pregnancy and postpartum with confidence and connection
💫 Use breath, fascia, and nervous system tools for real, full-body restoration
💫 Shift from surviving to thriving in your body — all during your daily routine

After healing my own prolapse, leaking, and diastasis (that no one warned me about), I made it my mission to make sure no woman is brushed off or left behind again.

Because these symptoms might be common — but they are NOT normal.

🎧 Subscribe for real-talk, expert support, and soul-led strategies to feel strong, safe, and free in your body again.

It is time to get you out of those pads and back to loving movement again.... yes even jumping on the trampoline.

Put your earbuds in, grab a glass of water, roll out your mat, and let’s connect💫

    215- The Pelvic Floor Habits You Don't Even Realize You Have // How Your Patterns Impact Your Healing and Symptoms
    2026/10/28
    Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath when you're concentrating? Clenching your butt while driving? Sucking in your stomach without even realizing it? And then think… “WAIT. How long have I been doing that?!” 😂 Here's the thing: We ALL have automatic habits and movement patterns. And they're not necessarily bad. Your body is constantly adapting to your daily life, whether you're lifting your kids, sitting at your desk, working out, navigating stress, or rushing through your never-ending to-do list. But sometimes the strategies we use without thinking are worth exploring—especially when we're experiencing pelvic floor symptoms, tension, discomfort, or difficulty connecting with our bodies. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we're talking about the everyday patterns you might not even realize you're using, why your body develops them, and how to explore more options without turning your pelvic floor into another thing you have to obsess over. Because your habits aren't necessarily the problem. But understanding your patterns can help you discover what else is possible. 💛 In This Episode We Explore Why pelvic floor health is about more than what happens during workouts or Kegel exercises. How everyday habits, stress, and movement demands may influence the way your body feels and functions. Common automatic patterns like breath-holding, abdominal gripping, glute clenching, and constantly trying to engage your core. Why these strategies aren't automatically wrong—and why your body may have developed them in the first place. The difference between a useful movement strategy and one that might be worth exploring when symptoms are present. Why more effort, more squeezing, or more rules aren't always the answer. How to recognize when your body might benefit from more movement and breathing options. A simple experiment to help you notice your own habits without judging or micromanaging yourself. 🌿 Ready to Explore What This Actually Feels Like in YOUR Body? Maybe you're listening to this episode thinking… “Okay, Dr. Des. I definitely recognize some of these habits. But how do I know what they're actually doing in MY body?” Or maybe you've learned a lot about pelvic floor health, breathing, core connection, and pressure management, but you're still not sure how to apply that information to yourself. That's exactly why I created RECONNECT: Your First Healing Session. RECONNECT isn't another masterclass to sit through or a giant workout program to complete. It's a guided, self-paced experience where I'll walk you through exploring: 🌿 Your lifestyle + habits — how your everyday life fits into the bigger picture. 🫁 Your core + breath — what you notice when you breathe and explore different strategies. 🌊 Your brace + pressure — how your body responds when effort increases. 🏃‍♀️ Your movement + posture — how different options can change your experience. 🧩 Your body patterns — how to begin connecting the dots between everything you've noticed. My goal isn't for you to finish with another list of things you're doing wrong. It's for you to have a moment where you think: “WHOA. I can actually feel what's happening in MY body.” And maybe even… “I finally feel hopeful that my body can change.” RECONNECT is officially LIVE! 🎉 Join me inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More app for RECONNECT: Your First Healing Session. 👉 [CHECK OUT THE RECONNECT EXPERIENCE →] And no, you don't have to complete Healing Beyond Kegels first!

    214- Is That Pelvic Pressure Normal? // What Heaviness During Exercise Might Mean
    2026/10/21
    Have you ever felt heaviness, fullness, or pressure in your pelvis during a workout, after being on your feet all day, or while lifting something heavy? And immediately wondered… “Wait, is this normal? Is something falling out? Am I doing something wrong?!” 😅 Here's something I want you to know: Pressure isn't automatically bad. Your body actually NEEDS pressure to move, lift, breathe, and function. But not all sensations of pelvic pressure mean the same thing. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we're breaking down the difference between normal pressure during movement and symptoms that might be related to pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic venous disorders (sometimes called pelvic congestion syndrome), pelvic floor muscle tension, or other factors. We'll also talk about why you don't necessarily need to stop exercising when you notice pressure—and how to start exploring what your body might need instead. Because the goal isn't to eliminate pressure or fear movement. It's to understand what you're feeling and learn how to respond. 💛 In This Episode We Explore Why intra-abdominal pressure is a normal and necessary part of breathing, lifting, and exercise. The difference between pressure inside your abdomen and sensations of pelvic heaviness, fullness, or discomfort. How pelvic organ prolapse can contribute to feelings of heaviness, bulging, or pressure. What pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) are and why they can sometimes cause deep pelvic aching or heaviness. How pelvic floor muscle tension or difficulty relaxing can contribute to pelvic discomfort and pressure sensations. Why pelvic pressure doesn't automatically mean you have a weak pelvic floor—or that you need more Kegels. How breathing, bracing, exercise intensity, fatigue, and daily habits can influence symptoms. Simple ways to explore movement modifications without avoiding exercise altogether. When recurring or worsening pelvic pressure deserves an individualized evaluation. Why This Matters So many women are told to either strengthen their pelvic floor, relax it, or avoid activities that create pressure. But what if we're asking the wrong question? Instead of “How do I stop creating pressure?” we can start asking: **“What am I actually feeling, and what might be contributing to it?” A sensation of heaviness during exercise doesn't automatically mean you're damaging your pelvic floor. And pelvic pressure isn't always caused by prolapse. Different symptoms can have different contributing factors, which is why understanding the bigger picture matters. You deserve more than a one-size-fits-all answer—and you shouldn't have to be afraid of movement to take care of your body. 🌿 Ready to Better Understand Your Body? If this episode has you wondering how your breath, core, pelvic floor, pressure, and movement work together, I'd love to guide you through exploring those connections. RECONNECT: Your First Healing Session is a self-paced, guided experience designed to help you move beyond simply learning about your body and start recognizing what you're actually experiencing. 👉👉 [EXPERIENCE RECONNECT] For $97 as a Founding Member Experience Before Price increases (link works on desktop but having mobile issues) And if you're experiencing ongoing pelvic pressure, heaviness, or other symptoms and want individualized guidance, a pelvic health evaluation can help determine what's contributing to your symptoms and what treatment options may be appropriate. 👉 [LEARN ABOUT 1:1 PHYSICAL THERAPY] Connection First.

    213- I Understand It…But How Do I Actually FEEL Connection to my Pelvic Floor and Body? // Let’s Reconnect Together
    2026/10/14
    You understand that your breath, core, pelvic floor, pressure, and movement are connected. But can you actually FEEL what's happening in your own body? In this episode, Dr. Des explores the difference between knowing information about your body and developing connection with YOUR body—and why body awareness shouldn't become another thing you have to perform perfectly. In This Episode We Explore Why knowing anatomy isn't the same as knowing your body What “connection” actually means Why “I don't feel anything” can still be useful information How body awareness accidentally becomes another pass/fail test Why your body's strategy may change depending on the task The difference between finding the “right” strategy and developing options How awareness can eventually create MORE confidence and LESS overthinking The simple Notice → Change → Notice Again experiment Why This Matters You can consume endless information about pelvic floor health and still wonder: “But what does any of this mean for ME?” Connection helps bridge that gap. Not by teaching you to obsess over every sensation—but by helping you recognize patterns, experiment with options, and build confidence responding to your own body. Connection isn't finding the correct sensation. It's learning to recognize your own experience. Ready to Experience It in YOUR Body? If you understand some of these concepts but still find yourself wondering what they actually feel like in YOUR body, meet: RECONNECT: Your First Healing Session. 🌿 This guided experience helps you explore your lifestyle, breath + core, brace + pressure, movement + posture, and body patterns—without turning your body into another test you need to pass.
