054: What happens when your first birth leaves you with more than a baby—and the support you need simply doesn’t exist yet?

In this episode of The Pelvic Pulse, I’m joined by Lauren Fleming, founder of HEM Support Wear, who vulnerably shares her experience navigating postpartum prolapse after her first pregnancy, the lack of effective external pelvic support options, and how that all shaped her second pregnancy, birth, and business.

Lauren’s story is one of reclamation—of body, resilience and power—as she moves from unexpected prolapse to creating the very support wear she wished she had.

Feeling the Pulse On

• Lauren’s first birth at a birth center during the pandemic
• Getting a prolapse diagnosis, even with pelvic PT support
• Why most postpartum pelvic support garments don’t work
• How her second pregnancy and home birth felt post-prolapse
• Her experience with a pessary and why it was a game-changer
• Navigating menstruation, motherhood, and running a pelvic health biz
• Her top advice for anyone facing prolapse

053: Whether you’re calling in a baby, a purpose-led business, or a more radiant version of your life—you don’t have to chase it. You get to become the woman who naturally draws it in. This guided womb-based meditation invites you to drop beneath the surface and into your deepest source of attraction: your presence, your pleasure, your phasic rhythm, your truth.

Come with a desire. Leave anchored in the energy that makes it inevitable. Listen when you’re ready to remember the power that’s already pulsing in your pelvic bowl. This is where the alchemy begins. Enjoy and come back to it whenever you need this reminder: you ARE a magnetic woman.

052: If you've ever felt the drive to change or prepare your body for pregnancy, birth, or motherhood, this one is for you. Dr. Brittney brought on her coach, Conor Millstein, to talk about the curious threads between pain-free movement, optimization of your body, identity shifts, and the evolutionary human desires to look fit, reproduce, give birth, and be active for life. Grab your headphones, put on your shoes, and get outside to walk and listen for some major inspiration and recalibration - from a body, mind, and soul perspective.

Feeling the Pulse On

• How Conor sees birth and reproduction
• Having goals or intentions and the mindset to have around them, learning to fail well
• Why is recalibration important: “Staying ready instead of getting ready” to take on the stresses we need to take on
• Aesthetics, superficial (outside) outcomes of the work, and identity changes
• Working with women, birth, postpartum, pain and trauma
• Blending systems together into “body economics” for a goal of self-love
• “Essentials” of Conor’s work: pressure, tension, and orientation and how that applies in pregnancy and general athleticism
• “Dogmas” and pet peeves in movement and training that lead to an unlearning process
• The common thread between Conor’s work and Brittney’s work
• Encouraging words if you’re curious about working with Conor
