In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with Katey from The Violet Fog to dive deep into one of the body’s most overlooked power players, your fascia. Katey breaks down what fascia actually is, why it matters for your mobility, lymphatic flow, and emotional well-being, and how to keep it happy and hydrated (yes, your fascia needs love too!).
Together, they chat about gentle movement, self-massage, red light therapy, and nutrient-rich hydration to keep your body flowing freely, especially during pregnancy. Plus, Katey shares her best tips for reducing swelling and creating beauty routines that actually support your body’s health from the inside out.
This convo is your permission slip to slow down, tune in, and treat your body like the powerhouse it is.

Guest Bio:
Katie Yurko is the founder of The Violet Fog, where wellness gets real and women connect over love, nutrition hacks, and aging gracefully. A self-proclaimed “career investigator,” Katie digs deep into ingredients, health practices, and the hard stuff most people shy away from. After years of battling chronic UTIs and over 400 rounds of antibiotics, she turned her own health journey into a mission to expose false marketing and empower women with honest, no-fluff wellness education. Her content blends research and girl talk, pulling back the curtain on topics like gut health, thyroid conditions, and natural healing, all with a signature dose of wit and raw honesty.
