Maestro on the Mic

A good coach does so much more than just address the physical. Societal expectations and self-imposed judgments are a very real thing, and if you want to truly help your client, you gotta make sure you're addressing those issues.

Join me this week for an episode with Brianna Battles that highlights the fact that pregnant and postpartum individuals deserve better, and that coaches are absolutely first-line providers. Common does NOT mean normal, and just because everyone is peeing their pants doesn't mean it doesn't mean that we shouldn’t be looking for a solution.
