Not Another Wellness Podcast

By Natalie Dellinger

You don't need a dry brush, a jade roller, a collection of crystals, or a fridge full of kale to be well. Wellness is about tuning inward, following the things that light you up in this world, and honoring what makes you, you.

Join Natalie Dellinger and occasional guests on the quest to be well in all phases of life.

Natalie Dellinger and guests dive into everyday wellness for everyday people. You'll hear tips for self-care, entrepreneurship, authenticity, nutrition, spirituality, healing, movement, fitness and so much more on this podcast.

E. 80 Postpartum Preparation vs. Reality


This is an episode on my postpartum healing journey and what preparations we set up ahead of time for support.


The most important piece of advice I've heard and followed is the 5-5-5 rule. Once you have a baby, your body needs to rest and recover. A great way to support your healing is to spend 5-6 days completely resting in bed. Then the next 5 days on the bed or close to the bed with rest at the forefront. Finally the last 5 days you should still be resting "close" to the bed. This is the bare minimum for allowing your body to recover. I share more tips in this episode!

E. 74 Preparing for Birth, Dealing with Trauma & What is a Birth Worker? | Jenevieve Russell

E. 74 Preparing for Birth, Dealing with Trauma & What is a Birth Worker? | Jenevieve Russell

“You can both be grateful, & have trauma” after your birth

Birth Trauma

  • The difference between a difficult and traumatic birth
  • What is happening in the brain during labor, primal brain
  • About “1 in 10 people feel their birth was traumatic”
  • About “1 in 6 people can be diagnoses with postpartum PTSD”
  • What are the common threads between a persons birth and their likelihood for experiencing trauma in birth

Preparing for Birth

  • Managing past traumas before you give birth
    • “Letting the nervous system know that it is safe, and seen, and soothed”

Doulas/Birth Workers

  • The language of “doula” is shifting to “birth worker”
  • What is the role of the doula
  • Birth preferences vs. a birth plan
  • Helping birthing people feel empowered
  • The difference between a birth worker and a partner
  • Minimize the unexpected with education and preparation
  • Birth is safe in lots of difference places

The top 3 things that seem to help people have the most satisfying birth experiences (and make the whole birthing team more successful)

1. A team with whom they feel supported

2. Use the strengths you already have

3. Have flexibility

  • Why wanting to “control” birth doesn’t always work
  • Postpartum workers/doulas and what that can look like
    • What is postnatal depletion?
  • Post Trauma GROWTH!

Jenevieve Russell: Jenevieve has been in the pregnancy/parenting world for the past 20 years as a doula, psychotherapist, support group host. She has witnessed 450 births in that time as a birth worker. She is a psychotherapist through her Nurturing Strategies, LLC [psychotherapy, trauma/birth processing and perinatal adjustment] and motherhood support group, and a doula/birthworker through Doulas of Boulder. She delights in exploring her own journey of motherhood with her family and is ecstatic about supporting expecting families. She draws on her vast, eclectic experiences (more below) when supporting families before, during and after birthing, specifically she has attended/supported births since 1996.

E. 72 The Pelvic Floor; What you need to know before and after you have a baby | Amanda Fisher

What is the pelvic floor & why does it matter? You came to the right place to learn more. Natalie sits down remotely with Amanda Fisher to talk all things pelvic floor. Amanda is a mom to three boys, wife, Physical Therapist (DPT) and founder/owner of Empower Your Pelvis Clinic and Empower Your Pelvis online. Topics covered on this episode: Pelvic floor 101 Issues faced when pelvic floor is "imbalanced" Pregnancy protocol for taking care of your pelvic floor Postpartum protocol - vaginal birth Postpartum protocol- Cesarean  Pelvic floor for men AND SO MUCH MORE! Here is Amanda's full bio from her website :) Hey there, I’m Amanda Fisher, Doctor of Physical Therapy at Empower Your Pelvis. Most days you can find me in the morning at the gym with a water in one hand and coffee in the other, followed by taking my boys to school and then at the clinic with my favorite, pelvic patients. I am wife to my hunky, husband-Brett, and a mother to my wild-n-crazy three boys (yes, my hands are full!).  I am mostly known for my passion for pelvic floor dysfunction and teaching women how to find vaginal healthy products at Target (yes, I have a video on YouTube on this).   I love serving the world by helping women realize there is hope with pelvic floor issues like peeing your pants, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain and pain with intercourse. The things I am most passionate about in life are my family, spending time with my husband and kids, pelvic health, health and fitness, 90s/2000s hip hop, baking cookies, gardening herbs, bike riding, personal growth journeys and mojitos. I am a true believer that life happens for us, not to us.  In 2008, I started leaking urine while training for half marathons.  Then in 2009 I developed pelvic pain (specifically, pain with sex…so not fun) which led me down this wonderful path of pelvic health.  I have been scared and ashamed of my symptoms and learned how to overcome them.  Then in 2013, 2015 and 2017, after the births of each of my children, I had pelvic organ prolapse.  I began feeling pressure in my vaginal canal with prolonged standing or right before I had a bowel movement.  I worked really hard to improve my pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination to continue to work out and stay healthy for myself and my family.  After many different paths of pelvic floor dysfunction, I feel I can relate to my patients and love being their accountability partner.  I am lucky to provide my patients tools to improve their pelvic health so they can improve their health, fitness and sometimes, even their marriage/ relationship.

E. 71 Leave Women Alone | Thoughts on Ridiculous Beauty Standards

I've stopped shaving my body.

I've had enough.

You can't tell me what to do.

You can't tell me if and when I can have a medical abortion, or any abortion, for that matter.

We all deserve the right to choose what we do with our bodies. They belong to us.

They are are ours.

We choose what makes us feel good.

WE get the choice.

Not some man at the top of the beauty or fashion industry, not the the patriarchal society, not anyone.

You. Grow. Girl.

E. 69 Quick thoughts on Roe v. Wade

I am a woman who has given birth and felt the *burden* of pregnancy and childbirth and raising a child. There are plenty of valid reasons, health, personal, economical, etc., that are all all up to the mother and her support network and doctors, for why a child might not be best brought into the world. Each of these should be respected.
