This week, John & Amy speak with Chana Ross. Chana is a Pelvic Physiotherapist & Clinic Director at Vital Physiotherapy & Wellness in Toronto, ON.  She is also a mother of 4 & host of She Has The Audacity, a podcast about women who are entrepreneurs, leaders & mothers that want to leave their mark on the world.  In this episode John, Amy & Chana discuss the connection that is created in postpartum between physical & mental health & the struggles women have that are not outwardly addressed in our culture.  Chana & Amy illustrate the direct relationship between the pelvic floor & the nervous system & how that influences life outside of motherhood.  Chana shares her strategy for managing a very busy life & she tells us why she prefers the word  “birth” over “delivery”.

Amy & John start this episode with a story about John neglecting a minor health issue even after 2 doctors (Amy & his therapist) told him to have it looked at. John shares his experience when the issue is finally treated & Amy explains how a minor health problem gone unchecked can lead to a major problem.  John’s drama continues when, immediately after his treatment, he has to pick up his soaking wet child at daycare, stop by the pharmacy for his prescription & suffers the side effects of the medication. 

This week's featured music is by F!RES. Theme music by Michael Lerner. Listen to more podcasts at Ruinous Media. 

As always, John & Amy remind us that We’re Not Alone.
