“It doesn't make sense to me, that you wouldn't move your body in a way to prepare for an event like that, knowing it's going to be the hardest thing that you've probably done or will do.” -Skyler Jacobs

Motherhood is a journey—one that deserves confidence, grace, and the right support. In this episode, Victoria welcomes back Skyler Jacobs, certified nurse midwife and founder of Well and Worthy Co., to share her deeply personal and professional insights on staying active during pregnancy and embracing a holistic approach to prenatal care.

They dive into the key differences between midwifery and traditional medical models, uncovering how midwives champion pregnancy as a natural process—providing personalized, low-intervention care that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being. Plus, Skyler sheds light on how midwives proactively manage high-risk conditions like cholestasis while fostering stronger connections with their patients.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay active during pregnancy and postpartum recovery, this conversation is for you. Victoria and Skyler break down common misconceptions about pelvic floor health, movement modifications for a stronger recovery, and why listening to your body is key. Tune in to learn how to move through pregnancy with confidence and discover Skyler’s course, Movement Through Labor and Delivery, designed to help women prepare for childbirth. Mama’s and Mama's-to-be, you’re not going to want to miss this episode!
