  • 61 - Does Your Marriage Need More Magic? Relationship Advice with Gaby Sundra

    Welcome to the season 3 finale of The Gentle Parenting Show! In this episode we’re joined by Gaby Sundra, who will share practical relationship advice that can help transform your marriage if you feel like lately you and your partner have become more like roommates.

     

    Gaby has 25 years of coaching experience and, along with her husband, she founded For Better Love, where they strive to inspire others to cultivate a couple culture of "aiming for awesome".

     

    One of the most challenging stages in a marriage can be when you’re raising your kids, because finding the time (and energy) for intimacy and connection can be difficult. While this is completely normal, thinking “oh, we’re fine” can become a slippery slope over time.

     

    Learn how to:

    Step 1: Admit It and Take action

    Step 2: Identify The Problem 

    Step 3: Get Clear on How You Want It To Be 

    Step 4: Understand Your Unsatisfactory “Solutions” 

    Step 5: Select Solutions That REALLY Satisfy 

    Step 6: Set Yourself Up for Success 

     

    Quotes we love!

    “It’s not you, it’s not your beloved, it's not your relationship. It’s the very nature of how difficult life and families can be”.

  • 58 - Beyond Kegels: Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor with Jana Danielson

    On today’s episode of The Gentle Parenting Show Kim is joined by Jana Danielson. She is an award-winning wellness entrepreneur and the creator of the Cooch Ball, the world’s first patented pelvic floor fitness tool for women.

     

    She developed the Cooch Ball after being frustrated that so many women didn’t feel they had a safe space to address their pelvic floor issues.

     

    Unfortunately, talking about pelvic floor health is still a subject that can cause feelings of shame. Especially since women have been constantly told that this is just part of motherhood and getting older, and there is nothing to be done about it. But this is not the case at all!

     

    In fact, you can be taught to strengthen your pelvic floor… and not just by doing kegels. Join Kim and Jana as they discuss some tips and debunk common myths about pelvic floor health.

     

    Quotes we love:

    “One of the key messages that came out of my pain journey was: the reconnection to self is necessary and beautiful”.
