Episode 42: Embodied Wellness is Truly a Journey of Bravery: An Interview with Sam Stuart
Joy Noble • June 4, 2024
Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 42 I got to chat with Sam Stuart about the ins and outs of what makes personal training with Braving Wellness different.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Sam’s desire to combine embodied movement & trauma-informed personal training with a focus on prenatal & postnatal workouts
- The importance of building community through group fitness classes
- Who Sam’s ideal client is (spoiler alert: consent and choice are key!)
- How Sam adapts when her clients arrive dysregulated and how she can help them navigate the workout their body needs
- That said, she also dispels the belief that taking a trauma-informed approach does not mean you won’t make gains in your workouts
- The importance of recognizing when a routine or exercise plan isn’t serving you and being ready to make a change
- Identifying with trauma is not a requirement for working with Sam
- Sam’s intentionality in checking her biases and privileges before starting to work with her clients

Summer is fully upon us and you may find yourself spending your days lounging by the pool or spending a week at the beach. Either way, you will likely end up sitting in a wet bathing suit at some point.
Recently a local provider slid into my DM’s to chat about a letter she received from her insurance boasting “no-cost digital pelvic PT” and her response is exactly the same as mine: WTF?
Okay so you read the books, took the classes, and followed the Instagrammers to get ready for labor and delivery. But did any of them talk about healing after c-section?
