In this episode of This Magic Life, Bonnie Lippincott sits down with Danielle Facey, The Breastfeeding Mentor, for a heart-opening conversation about motherhood, loss, worth, and the quiet magic of being supported.

Danielle shares her deeply personal journey through pregnancy loss, the initiation into motherhood, and how breastfeeding became not just nourishment—but transformation. Together, they explore the immense pressure placed on mothers, the myths and judgments surrounding breastfeeding, and why so many women are asked to do sacred work without a village.

This conversation is a reminder that motherhood is not one-size-fits-all. That support is not a luxury—it’s essential. And that when women are held, they rise.

If you’re navigating breastfeeding, redefining your self-worth as a mother, or building a heart-led life and business, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

✨ You are not broken
✨ You are not behind
✨ You were never meant to do this alone

Home - The Vagina Whisperer

In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Dr. Sara Reardon (aka The Vagina Whisperer)—Doctor of Physical Therapy, board-certified women’s health specialist, and author of Floored—for an honest, empowering conversation about postpartum bodies, pelvic health, and reclaiming trust in your body after birth.

Dr. Reardon breaks down what the pelvic floor actually is (think: a hammock or basket of muscles supporting your bladder, bowels, and uterus), why pelvic floor changes happen in pregnancy regardless of birth method, and why symptoms like leaking, pain, pressure, and painful sex may be common—but are not “normal” or something moms should quietly live with.

With compassion, clarity, and humor, this conversation brings pelvic health out of the shadows and into the light—inviting moms to see their bodies not as broken, but as wise, adaptive, and worthy of care.

You’ll learn what to expect at a pelvic floor therapy appointment (yes, including the internal exam—without stirrups), why kegels aren’t the solution for everyone (tight vs. weak pelvic floors), and how to approach sex after baby with more confidence, comfort, and realistic expectations—grounded in listening to your body’s signals rather than pushing through pain.

Bonnie and Dr. Reardon also zoom out to the bigger picture: how the U.S. postpartum system fails moms, why so many women miss the 6-week visit, and what postpartum care should look like—including pelvic floor therapy starting in the hospital and more meaningful screening by OBs and pediatricians. This is where medicine meets magic: honoring physiology, intuition, and the lived experience of motherhood.

This episode is full of practical takeaways, myth-busting, and the reminder every mom deserves to hear: you are not broken—and you don’t have to suffer in silence. Healing is possible.

In this episode, we cover:

• What pelvic floor therapy is and who it helps
• Common postpartum symptoms (and what’s treatable)
• Why “just do kegels” can make symptoms worse
• Tension vs. weakness and how to tell the difference
• What pelvic floor PT visits are like (step-by-step)
• Sex after baby: preparation, lubrication, and when to seek help
• How scar tissue and C-section recovery affect pelvic health
• What postpartum care in America is missing—and how we fix it
• Motherhood, intuition, perfectionism, and releasing the pressure to “perform”
