In part 2, Becky and Jessica take a deeper dive into diastasis recti. They unpack what doming and coning really mean, when to worry (and when not to), and why strength — not fear — is the answer. It’s part clinical breakdown, part real-life mom chat, and 100% designed to bust the myths we’ve all been fed about postpartum bodies.
We cover:
🧠 What doming and coning actually look like — and why it’s not one-size-fits-all💥 Hard vs. soft coning: how tissue quality changes your approach📚 Why TA activation isn’t the holy grail (and what muscles matter)
🏋️♀️ Yes, you can do crunches — listen for why!🙃 Why the “don’t do this with diastasis” lists are outdated and unhelpful💬 A study on diastasis possibly protecting against a certain pelvic health condition🔥 The truth about getting stronger: it’s not sexy, but it is the fix
The truth about getting stronger: it’s not sexy, but it is the fix Turns out, the best thing you can do for your core postpartum isn’t avoiding movement — it’s learning to trust your body again.
