I've always wanted to do a podcast on this topic, but when I came across the recent Times article called, "The Booming Business of Cutting Babies Tongues" I knew the time was NOW. This article stated that tongue-tie releases are up 800% in recent years and made the claim that this is nothing more than an money-making scheme. Rachel (a myo functional therapist who I have followed on i...

Explanation as to why there wasn't an episode last week + more

My biggest takeaway from this conversation? It's safe to assume EVERYONE has pelvic floor dysfunction until proven otherwise. 🙊 Join me and Betty DeLass (owner of Reborn Pelvic Health and Wellness) as we discuss all things Pelvic Floor PT.

Stephen joins me on this weeks podcast as we recount the details of our car breaking down 14 hours into our 17 hour roadtrip. A bizarre tale with Danger Russ, some small-town car mechanic drama, and... forgotten diapers.

There is absolutely nothing deep about this episode. It's a 45-minute monologue of my random thoughts meant for you to listen to while driving in the car, doing dishes, or taking your kids to the park. The type of episode that is meant to be "one earbud in" to keep you company while you go throughout your day and hopefully help you feel a little less lonely.
