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.

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!

67. Learning to Trust Your Body Again
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything *right* for your health, but…somehow things still feel off?
In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking something we see all the time in our clinics (and have experienced ourselves): when healing efforts quietly turn into hypervigilance.
Instead of helping the body feel safe and supported, constant monitoring, overthinking, and trying to do it all “perfectly”, can actually keep symptoms lingering longer than they need to. Even using helpful strategies can quickly become unhelpful (which leads to even more frustration and overwhelm).
If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or like your day revolves around managing symptoms, this episode is your reminder: your body isn’t fragile - it’s incredibly capable.
Sometimes, the most POWERFUL shift isn’t adding more. It’s loosening your grip, creating space, and learning to trust your body again!
Episode Recap:
- What hypervigilance in health really means
- Why helpful strategies can become unhelpful when they turn obsessive or fear-driven
- The crucial role your nervous system plays
- Realizing that more effort ≠ faster healing
- Why this pattern is often driven by subconscious fears
- Key signs to watch for
- Shifting your body from control → trust
- Small shifts that can truly help to break this cycle
- Why healing your body isn’t about perfection
