Have you ever wondered if your back pain, discomfort during intimacy, or even that nagging feeling that “something’s just off” might be rooted in your birth experience — even if it happened years ago? In today’s powerful conversation, I’m joined by Lynn Schulte, a pelvic health physical therapist with over 30 years of experience and a pioneer in recognizing what she calls the “open birthing pattern.” Together, we unpack how childbirth — even when it seems “normal” — can leave lasting, unspoken impacts on our body, emotions, and relationships. From misunderstood C-section scar pain to the quiet grief of disconnection after birth, we explore the stories that get trapped in our tissues — and how healing is always possible, no matter how long it’s been. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has given birth, loves someone who has, or wants to understand the hidden journey of postpartum recovery. 💥 Spoiler: It's never too late to heal. Today we explore: The truth about pelvic pain, even years postpartum Why C-section scars can cause issues decades later How trauma manifests physically (and how to release it) What disconnection does to intimacy and how to come back home to your body LISTEN IN! — Full Transcript HERE — Lynn Schulte’s Links SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook Instagram YouTube Website VIDEOS How to Close the Open Birthing Pattern in the Pelvis How to Massage Your C-Section Scar TRAININGS +MORE Institute For Birth Healing Directory of Providers Center for Birth Healing Clinical Practice to set up one-on-one sessions in Person or Online Institute for Birth Healing Online Courses for Providers Confidence in Your Core, Pelvic Floor and More for MOMS -- Want to take our relationship to the next level? 🔔 Subscribe for more parenting insights 📢 Share this with a parent who needs to hear it! 👉 Here are my top Resources 👉 Link to my Newsletter 👉 Join the Reconnect with Your Partner Challenge 📩 Get in touch with me (Instagram @markella.kaplani; website; e-mail: [email protected]) 🎧 Listen, share, and leave a review!
