The Pelvis Project Podcast
Welcome to The Pelvis Project Podcast! Join hosts, Megan Bengtson and Roxi Roberts, two pelvic floor physical therapists who are passionate about spreading pelvic health awareness and starting conversations surrounding the truth behind genuine health and imperfect wellness. They’re on a mission to educate, guide, and encourage you, and they believe that joyfully navigating your journey IS possible, no matter the season of life you’re in.
Our health and well-being extends far beyond just the physical aspect. Getting to know and really understand ourselves on a deeper level is powerful, and in turn, this will overflow into every area of our lives. Megan and Roxi are excited to be starting this conversation, and can’t wait to have you join along for the ride. And of course - don’t forget to take a deep breath and relax your pelvic floor!

57. Simple Mindfulness Tools for the Holiday Season + Everyday Life
The holiday season can feel like a LOT.
Between overstimulation, full schedules, travel, chronic illness flares, and more, our bodies pick up far more than we realize.
In today’s episode, we wanted to slow things down and talk about mindfulness. And no…not the “fluffy, clear your mind and float away” kind of mindfulness. More like the REAL, usable version that can help you come back home to yourself whenever you need to!
As clinicians who spend hours holding space for people in hard moments, having a daily “reset” ritual isn’t optional for us - it’s necessary.
Mindfulness is not about fixing - it’s about witnessing. Mindfulness becomes powerful when it becomes woven into your everyday life (not another task added to your neverending to-do list).
We hope you choose presence, curiosity, and give your nervous system a chance to BREATHE during one of the busiest seasons of the year!!
Episode Recap:
- Why mindfulness is NOT just “clearing your mind”
- Start with your body first (not your mind)
- Using micro-moments throughout your day instead of long mindfulness sessions
- Labeling sensations & emotions with neutral, non-judgmental language.
- Focusing on witnessing your experience instead of “fixing” or forcing calm
- Using all 5 of your senses as anchors to stay present
- Practicing self-compassion every time your mind wanders
- Attaching mindfulness to daily habits so it becomes automatic AND sustainable
- Learning to use your breath like a dial (instead of a hammer)
- Asking yourself, “What is happening in my body right now?
