#76 | Stop Doing Kegels: What Your Pelvic Floor Is Trying to Tell You with Dr. Trina Winner
The Discerning Mother
Eight months postpartum and you cannot sit through dinner without your tailbone screaming. Your OB shrugged when you asked about pelvic floor therapy and every wellness account on your feed is telling you to cold plunge, fast until noon, and do more kegels. In this episode I sit down with Dr. Trina Winner, a pelvic physical therapist, doula, functional nutrition coach, and lactation counselor, to talk about what your pelvic floor is actually trying to tell you. We get into why symptoms often show up months after birth instead of right away, why an overactive pelvic floor gets misdiagnosed as a weak one, how trauma and stress live in this part of your body, and why so much of the biohacking world was never built for a woman in her fertile years in the first place.

About Podcast
Welcome to The Discerning Mother, the podcast where building a thriving business and becoming a whole woman are not two different goals. Most wellness podcasts will tell you to regulate your nervous system. Most business podcasts will tell you to try another strategy.
This one will tell you why those won't work.
This is where faith, health, and business strategy collide.
Each week we talk about:
- How your nervous system is either building your business or quietly sabotaging it
- Why rewiring your nervous system and identity unlocks what regulation never could
- Real strategy for scaling without burning the woman behind the brand
- What Catholic/Christian theology has to say about money, ambition, and becoming
- How to have more without doing more
- Doing it all while being a present, joyful, peaceful mother & 6 or 7 figure business owner
This is not hustle culture with a rosary or prayers on top. This is the real work; the kind that changes what you are capable of in your business, your body, your marriage, and your motherhood (& by default, the world! Right, St. Mother Teresa?!).
Whether you are listening as you prep for a client call or folding laundry, it's time for you to dive in!
