#18 - An interivew with Barbie Thomas of Fitness Unarmed

Please join me as I interview Barbie Thomas as she shares her story of losing her arms at a very young age and how she has managed to thrive despite many obstacles. Barbie successfully carried and raised two children and is now able to coach and mentor young children without the use of their arms. Barbie is an avid dancer and she also stays fit by running, swimming and lifting weights. She also trains with a personal trainer she loves.
If you want to see her in action click on her website or YouTube channel (links below).
Barbie also took on the world of Physique Competitions, despite being unable to do certain mandatory movements. You will hear her story regarding this and her persistence in this episode. She has competed multiple years, as recently as 2019 and she plans to continue competing in the new category of Wellness in 2021.
When I learned about Barbie and her story I just had to meet her and ask her to bless us with her heart, her grit and her determination. How many of us would NOT dare to blow thru limitations because of our inner (mental) stories. Barbie is an incredible example of resilience and I am so grateful that she was willing to meet a complete stranger in person. ;-) She has inspired me so much and I now find myself thinking that I give up too easily! As Barbie says - NO EXCUSES!

#20 Interview with Physical Therapist Specializing in Pelvic Floor - Kimberly Bryant, DPT

What an interesting interview with physical therapist and pelvic floor health specialist, Dr. Kimberly Bryant. Kim’s areas of expertise include prevention and wellness, pelvic pain, low back pain, prolapse (pelvic pressure), bowel health, pain with intercourse, incontinence, painful menstrual cycles, and prenatal/postpartum care. Her goal is to empower women to take their wellness into their own hands as they discover their personal healing path.
This was not a specialty back when I had children and I think even though this is an area that is now more well known, many women still haven't heard of this or know that this is available. Even lower back issues can be traced to pelvic issues so be sure to reach out to Kim or someone with her training to help you - no matter your age (older or younger) because many times problems happen long after having children and not necessarily immediately post-partum.
Dr. Bryant earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from A.T. Still University in Mesa, AZ in 2009. She opened her private practice, Thrive Pelvic Health and Wellness in 2017 to provide holistic rehabilitation and wellness care for women with a focus on pregnancy and postpartum support. She provides in person and tele-health treatment sessions. When away from the office, Kim enjoys spending time with her two young boys, husband, and running out on the AZ mountain trails with friends.
