What are you waiting for?
Restoring Core Connections
Yesterday marked two years of announcing I was opening Restoring Core Connections! Two years of helping other women who refuse to accept the narrative that they have to “just deal with it”. I truly enjoy helping women take back control over their bodies and their lives! So my question to you today, is… What are you waiting for?
I know, that is a loaded question for sure! And as I am sitting here typing this out, I myself have been waiting TWO years to get this blog started! Starting new things can be scary so I decided to sit with it and figure out why I have put this off for two years. Here's what I came up with:
Fear. Fear of putting myself out there. Fear of not having anything “good enough” to say. Fear of judgment.
Doubt. Doubt of whether anyone will read it. Doubt of whether or not it will be worth my time.
And my favorite, which has been with me as long as I can remember– PROCRASTINATION! Who are my fellow procrastinators? I am not going to lie, I do my best work when I feel like I am under a time crunch. I’ve tried to change it but have decided lately that I just need to embrace that it is part of who I am and I just need to be sure to give myself my own deadlines (which is why you are reading this in late January instead of January 1 LOL!!).
SO, why am I sharing these things with you and how in the world do they relate to pelvic health and wellness? Well, I think many of you may deal with the same issues when deciding whether to seek care. Fear of being vulnerable. Doubt of whether you can be helped. And well, if you're anything like me, procrastination of actually making the time for yourself!
In an effort to help you combate these three things, I recorded this little video the other day to share with you!

I also plan to go over common things I treat as a pelvic floor therapist in my office over social media so be sure to follow along!
Thanks for reading! And if you don’t see your February newsletter, be sure to call out my procrastination for me ;)
