135- From Stuck to Sustainable// The Mindset Shifts Moms Need for Healing and Action Steps to Take Today

Have you ever said to yourself: “I know what I should be doing… but I just can’t seem to do it”?

Whether it’s exercising, eating well, or taking 10 minutes for yourself, most moms struggle with follow-through — and it’s not because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or broken. The real issue isn’t willpower. It’s your mindset and your nervous system.

In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist and women’s health advocate, breaks down why so many moms get stuck in the gap between knowing and doing — and how to finally break the cycle.

Because healing your body isn’t just about what you do. It’s about how supported, regulated, and empowered you feel while you’re doing it.

💡 Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✅ Why knowledge alone doesn’t create action (and why you’re not the problem).

✅ How stress, overwhelm, and dysregulation keep moms stuck in survival mode.

✅ The mindset shifts that make change sustainable, not stressful.

✅ Practical tips to start small and build momentum with healing habits.

✅ How nervous system regulation is the missing piece in follow-through.

🌸 Why This Matters:

You don’t need more willpower — you need more compassion and support. When you regulate your nervous system and shift your mindset, following through on changes becomes possible. Healing then feels like empowerment, not punishment.
