Ep. 38: Skincare is like an exercise routine with Aimee Bowen
Not Your Mama Podcast
07/19/21 • 46 min
With many of my clients, I get questions about pregnancy and postpartum bodily issues that are way outside of my scope, like proper skincare. That’s why I’m so excited to have Aimee Bowen on today’s episode to talk about what you should and shouldn’t be putting on & under your skin when pregnant or breastfeeding. Aimee is a Medical Aesthetician and On-Air TV Beauty Expert who is a fount of skincare knowledge. In this episode, we discuss:
- What to do about those brown spots and wrinkles that come up during and after pregnancy
- What products to avoid when pregnant and breastfeeding
- How your body can positively respond to certain injectables and treatments to help produce more of its own collagen and the like
- The value of treating your skin like your exercise regimen: staying consistent, changing things up, and focusing on your whole body outside of just your treatments.
- And more

Ep. 49: The Postpartum routines that can get you back to the old routine
Not Your Mama Podcast
04/04/22 • 28 min
You just had a body part go from zero to 10 centimeters in a matter of hours. So are you just supposed to sit back, wait 6 weeks and then go back to everything as if it’s completely normal? No! Like any other recovery, you need to ramp back up to what you were doing before.
If you know me, you know I don’t believe that there’s some magic number where everything is magically good to go and you can exercise again. That time can be different for everyone, but I believe even from the moment of birth you can be doing things to positively affect your outcomes.
This episode is about those little routines between giving birth and getting back to exercise. Today I talk about:
- The value of early skin-to-skin contact
- How breastfeeding often can help your healing process
- How to introduce the first foray back into exercise
- Why you shouldn’t check or freak out about a diastasis recti super early in the process
- Areas to focus on when you do start exercising again
- and more!
If you’re interested in learning more about the diaphragmatic breath, check out this video I did a couple years ago now. WARNING: If you are a few days postpartum, the video does get into moves that you cannot or should not be accomplishing quite yet, so listen to your body. The breathing is at the beginning and something you can do a few days postpartum.

Ep. 36: Your worth has nothing to do with your size w/ Alicia McCarvell
Not Your Mama Podcast
06/21/21 • 66 min
Content Warning: This episode features discussions around disordered eating, rapid weight loss, and body image issues.
I am so excited to be talking to Alicia McCarvell (@aliciamccarvell), who is a body positivity expert, in this week’s episode. For lots of people, body image and diet culture may be things that you’ve been battling for years. For others, it could be something that is new to you because of pregnancy, childbirth, or even just a global pandemic that upended our lifestyles. And maybe you’ve never battled these things, but know someone who has, and you want to be an ally. In this episode, we’ll discuss:
- Her history with diet culture, extreme exercise and disordered eating
- How she realized her worth & health has nothing to do with her size
- How society often doesn’t ask the right support questions for people who “look” healthy
- How being the keynote speaker at BodCon is a dream come true and how you can listen to her talk about beach body positivity.
If you’d like to follow Alicia’s journey, you can find her on TikTok and Instagram @aliciamccarvell.
You can learn more about and buy tickets to TheBodCon TALKS: Beach Bodies - A Virtual Pool Party at https://www.thebodcon.com/beach-bodies. It will include a thought-provoking panel discussion (including Alicia!) that will tackle how 'bikini body' rhetoric affects us, how to face this potentially damaging communication, and how to promote body confidence now and in the future.
If you’re struggling with how to feel stylish at whatever size you happen to be, check out Episode 28 with Judith Gaton.
If you want to better understand how your health habits are better markers of your health than the number on the scale, listen to episode 19 with Kara Troctha.

Not Your Mama Podcast
04/12/21 • 21 min
One of the primary areas of focus with all of my prenatal and postpartum clients is the pelvic floor, which is an amazing group of muscles that can be a key to unlocking a ton of pain relief, as well as relief from other symptoms.

In this episode, I discuss;
- What the pelvic floor is
- Some of the key functions of the pelvic floor
- How to learn to release and engage your pelvic floor
- How to strengthen your pelvic floor

Ep. 19: Making Peace with Food and Redefining Health w/Kara Trochta
Not Your Mama Podcast
02/22/21 • 60 min
In this episode, we're exploring the physical and psychological harm diet culture can cause. Kara Trochta (@karatrochta) and I discuss:
- How we develop unhealthy relationships with food
- How intuitive eating can repair this relationship, and your body.
- How being healthy is more than (and often exclusive from) the number on the scale or your BMI.
If you've struggled with yo-yo diets, binge eating, forbidden foods, or feeling like a number on the scale is somehow representative of how healthy you are, this episode is packed with tips and stories that will really resonate.

Ep. 16: Stop peeing your pants
Not Your Mama Podcast
02/01/21 • 27 min
Urinary incontinence: it's the dirty secret no one tells you about having kids and/or aging until you're in the middle of it.
The truth is, this is not something you just have to live with. There are actionable steps you can take to eliminate urinary incontinence (or at least significantly improve it) from the comfort of your own home. In this episode we're covering:
- Why urinary incontinence happens, and NO, it's not just because your pelvic floor is "loose."
- How to assess your own pelvic floor.
- How to use breathing and posture to improve urinary incontinence.
- Little things you may be doing that are contributing to urinary incontinence or urgency.
Listen to today's episode and then message me @kellybryantwellness on Instagram and tell me which tip you're going to put into action!

Ep. 46: Single and ready to procreate w/Jacqueline Joy
Not Your Mama Podcast
12/20/21 • 41 min
This was an amazing episode to do. So often when talking with my clients, and even here on the podcast, I reference partners, and how we can lean on co-parenting, which is why I was so excited to talk with Jacqueline Joy about her choice to get pregnant and become a mother while single. This is such an important conversation to have, letting people of any age know that being a parent doesn’t have to depend on having the right partner in your life, and I hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it. Jacqueline and I discussed:
- What her journey was like knowing that she wanted to be a mom, but not finding the right partner
- What the decision to have a child without of partner does for her mentally
- How this decision doesn’t always have to be based on the proverbial ticking clock
- How she navigated the decision on how to go about conception
- How Jacqueline has built out her support system through this process
- The stigmas and difficulties of choosing to be a single parent
- and more!

Ep. 54: Working Out at Full Intensity Until Your Due Date is Harmful
Not Your Mama Podcast
05/23/22 • 24 min
This is the episode where I try to make amends for what many fitness experts tell you regarding working out until you give birth (myself included). Bragging that you did burpees or ran a 5K the day before labor may be great social media content, but is it really the best for a productive labor?
Even back when I was teaching barre at a fitness studio to now working with and being connected to many fitness experts/fitness junkies, I noticed a high correlation between intensity leading up to birth and longer, more intense labors. That got me thinking:
- What should we be focusing on leading up to labor from a fitness standpoint
- How full intensity (yes, even with modifications) can make labor worse
- How I changed it up between my births and found more success
- and more!
If you’re looking to help prepare your body for, or help it recover from giving birth, I encourage you to check out my Strong As A Mother Prenatal and Postpartum courses.
