Hello, and welcome to the start of Season 9!

We're kicking it off with an epsiode about exercise. It's something that a few of you have asked for over the years, and to be honest, I've always felt mixed about. In a society that tells mothers to 'bounce back' after full-term, live births - the pressure for bereaved mothers can be crushing.

Thankfully, we have Casey to talk to us about healthy re-engagement with fitness and how to look after your post-partum body. Casey is passionate about core and pelvic floor health, any exercise you do should consider these aspects of your physiology.

Some terms used:

Diastasis - When the muscles of the abdomen separate during or after pregnancy.

Pelvic Floor - Several muscle, ligaments and fascia attached to your pelvis. Damaged/weakened pelvic floor muscles can lead to incontinence (leaking wee or poo).

Prolapse - Pelvic organ prolapse is when 1 or more of the organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and bulge into the vagina. It can be the womb (uterus), bowel, bladder or top of the vagina.

We hope you enjoy this episode and get some good advice and support in how to go about healthy fitness.

You can find Casey on Instagram @twopeaswellness and her website can be found here.

I hope you enjoy listening. Get in touch and let us know what you think.
