Ep#68: My Mission: Normalizing Pelvic Health Around the World Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

Pelvic health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, yet it's often a topic that's shrouded in mystery and discomfort. How do you openly discuss this conversation with your child at a young age? How would you empower them to educate them about their pelvic health and develop a positive relationship with their bodies?

This week’s Empower Your Pelvis Podcast, our host, Dr. Amanda Fisher goes solo to talk about her mission in life — normalizing pelvic health, especially to our kids. She also discusses how educating our children about their bodies and normalizing conversations around pelvic health will help them develop a healthy relationship with their bodies and empower them to take charge of their health as they grow older.

She will touch on such topics as:

The importance of encouraging open communication with your children.
The emotional aspects of pelvic health.
Reminding your child or children that anatomical words for genitalia are nothing different than you saying “elbow for my elbow”, or “ankle for my ankle.”

Ep#66: My Sleeping Baby: Expert Sleep Training Techniques for Your Little One with Eva Klein May 25, 2023

Show notes

Are you a new-mom who can’t take the sleepless nights anymore and feel delirious from lack of sleep where you could cry? Are you starting to wonder if it’s time to start to sleep train your baby?

This week’s Empower Your Pelvis Podcast, our host, Dr. Amanda Fisher interviews Eva Klein. Eva is a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant and is the founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program. Eva’s main goal is to help her clients establish healthy sleep habits for their children. After experiencing the debilitating effects of chronic sleep deprivation from her middle child, Eva was inspired to help families overcome their sleep challenges. Eva truly empathizes with her clients’ sleep troubles and personally invests herself in their sleep journey.

In addition to completing her sleep consulting certification, she is a member of the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants and she completed the 2016 Infant Mental Health Community Training through the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Eva also has her Bachelor of Arts from York University and her law degree from the University of Western Ontario.

In this episode, Amanda and Eva will talk about how sleep training will help your little one(s) sleep restfully at night so that you can feel rested and refreshed and enjoy parenthood to its fullest without having the guilt. They will also discuss how this method helps your baby to be comfortable and independent sleeping on their own, even if they wake up - they can calm themselves.

They will touch on such topics as:

Maximizing your child’s sleep regardless of their age and stage in order to enjoy the stage of motherhood.
How a child can learn to independently sleep, and the appropriate training to implement in the beginning.
How to introduce new sleep habits to your little one, so you can give attention, time, and love to your toddler or preschooler child.
You don’t need to choose between getting sleep for yourself and honoring your child's emotional needs because you can have both at the same time.
There is more than one right way to approach your little one's sleep and bring them into your bed.
Sleep training should be looked-at as an equally legitimate choice from being a well-rested family and an emotional happy and stable child.

If you’re convinced that NOTHING will ever get your baby sleeping through the night, I sympathize with you. I get it, and I know exactly how it feels to be so hopeless, feeling like you’ve tried EVERYTHING. You feel like nothing will ever work.

I’m here to give you hope and reassurance, as does my friend Eva of My Sleeping Baby. If you’d love to get your baby consistently sleeping 11-12 hours at night so you can be a functioning human, grab a spot for her FREE training coming up on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 8:30 PM EST.

Show notes

Have you ever wanted to be confident, empowered, and motivated? Are you ready to bring out your inner strength and become stronger than ever before? Are you ready to join a community-based fitness membership that will help you transform physically, and make it easier than ever for everyone to get started on their journey?

This week’s Empower Your Pelvis Podcast, our host, Dr. Amanda Fisher interviews Morgan Kline. Morgan, Co-Founder & CEO of the Burn Boot Camp Franchise. Morgan grew up in Battle Creek, MI and always believed that in order to be successful you had to climb the corporate ladder. Therefore, Morgan worked for the Kellogg Company right out of college and gained a lot of great experiences but quickly learned that her passion was not in that industry, but that helping others reach their health and fitness goals was where she belonged! In 2013 Morgan joined forces with Devan and together built one of the nation’s best fitness programs! Burn Boot Camp has not only given Morgan the platform to share her passion for healthy living but has also given her the confidence to achieve what she ever thought was possible for herself. As a mother to three amazing children, Morgan can relate to a lot of women and moms out there that often put themselves last in order to make sure everyone around them is taken care of. Having a place like Burn Boot Camp allows women to feel confident, empowered, motivated, and stronger than ever!

In this episode, Amanda and Morgan will talk about how Burn Boot Camp empowers women through fitness transformation - not just through their 45 minute workout, but also supporting them emotionally, physically, mentally through the community. They will also discuss how the membership provides a welcoming and encouraging environment where women can get fit while building up their confidence.

They will touch on such topics as:

What made Burn Boot Camp become a community based franchise.
How the 95%of the franchise partners came within the system because of the transformation that women and moms finally felt that they are seen and supported by the community.
What is the BIGGEST barrier that mothers are getting themselves into going to the gym?
How to live the best life possible while being both a mother and an entrepreneur?
Stop giving yourself unrealistic expectations, because you're the one that places those expectations on yourself not on others.
Social media perspective shows a variety of fitness levels, from people who are new to working out and need some guidance to more experienced people who want to challenge themselves.
Sharing the real raw authentic self will be paid off tenfold versus trying to be somebody that you don’t wanna be.
