Moms In Motion

Welcome to the Moms In Motion podcast! Your hosts are Krista Williams (pregnancy & postpartum athleticism coach) and Jenn Perna (pelvic floor physical therapist). We are running our businesses, running our households, and trying not to run ourselves into the ground while juggling it all. We are here to support you through all stages of motherhood with honest, relatable, and sometimes unfiltered conversations.

Tune into this show weekly so we can help you build your village, reconnect with your mom bod, and possibly even navigate business ownership and motherhood, better.

We are located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and refer to each other constantly to best support moms in the area. We believe the relationship between a personal trainer specializing in working with moms, and pelvic floor PT is an absolute must for moms to thrive in motherhood. Please remember that this show is not meant to treat or diagnose any medical condition, so don’t ever hesitate to contact your own provider team with any concerns.

Thanks for joining us, and please reach out with feedback or questions!

#39: Core Weakness - The Real Reason Your Core Still Doesn't Feel Strong After Having Babies Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

Today's episode is a bit of an extension from last week's. We know many women struggle with body image, but even when you are months and years postpartum (or even a decade) and you have found your way back to a fitness routine, it's common to feel like your core is still weak and not making the progress you may have expected.
In this episode we break down all of the very basic reasons your core isn't functioning the way you want it to. We think you will see how a little education that you likely never received about this area of your body can go a long way! With this information, it might be easier than you think you finally make better progress with your core strength!
We will have 3 different types of episodes and one will drop each week on Mondays!

#38: Body Image Struggles - The Hard Truth about your Postpartum Body Jul 29, 2024

Show notes

Something we both deal with frequently in working with moms is postpartum body imagine issues. There is so much misinformation out there about diastasis recti, the ability to ‘bounce back,’ and expectations regarding your postpartum belly. In the episode we aim to level set expectations, and help you shift your focus so you can stop beating yourself up or comparing your postpartum belly to a belly that never experienced pregnancy.
If you are a new listener, you might want to check out the Diastasis Recti Episode (#21) first!

#37: Preparing for Birth Better - What You Need to Know that your Hospital Class Won't Teach You Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

If you are expecting right now, congrats! Preparing to welcome a baby into the world, especially as a first time mom, can be overwhelming. Most moms will take the prep class the hospital they are delivering at provides. While that is great and recommended, we are going to fill you in on why you ALSO need to complete birth prep with a pelvic floor physical therapist.
If you don't have a quality provider near you, or 1:1 is not within your budget, Dr. Jenn has a virtual birth prep option that will teach you everything you need to work towards the birth experience you are looking for, even if this is not your first!

#35: Is This Covered? Understanding Your Insurance Benefits Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

Something we both do regularly is help women advocate for the best possible care for themselves. Often, that involves educating them on the pros and cons of using their insurance. Since Jenn is great with all the ins and outs of explaining this, and Krista has learned so much from her about it, we decided to do the episode to make sure you can navigate it all as best as possible. We want you to be able to ask the right questions, and ultimately make the best decision that will allow you to get your needs met quicker, better, and with a reasonable overall cost. If you are confused about how your insurance works, this episode is for you!

#34: Returning to Running Postpartum - Why There’s Way More to it than ‘Getting Cleared’ Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

When you’ve had a baby and you are getting ready to return to some movement postpartum, your first effort should NOT be running. We totally understand that it can be quick/easy (esp if you are used to long distances), convenient, and free, but there are so many boxes you need to check before you give running a shot. This doesn’t just apply to running either, the guidelines are the same for any higher impact movement.
If you a runner, cross fitter, or just enjoy your kickboxing or Orange Theory classes, this episode is a must listen! If you know someone who is a dedicated runner or high impact fitness person, send them this episode and help save them from themselves!

Jenn has experienced this herself during this pregnancy, and takes us through all the details about what is really going on with your tailbone, and why just sitting on a pillow isn't a permanent solution.
