06 | Taboo Topic: Pelvic Floor 101 - Why Leaking Is Common But Not Normal


Listen Later

Most women never get taught about their pelvic floor - until something goes wrong. Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, or exercise might be common, but it is not normal. And you don’t have to just put up with it.

"Kegels aren't as effective as first thought"

In this episode of She Knows Her Body, we’re breaking the taboo around pelvic floor health. You’ll learn:

  • What the pelvic floor actually is and why it’s so important

  • The difference between a weak vs. a tight pelvic floor

  • Symptoms that signal your pelvic floor might not be working properly

  • Why leaking after childbirth or during menopause is not something you just have to “live with”

  • How a pelvic health physio can change everything from your bladder and bowel health to your hips, posture, and confidence

This is a conversation every woman deserves to hear - whether you’re postpartum, in perimenopause, or simply want to understand your body better.


Because the truth is: you are not broken, you are not alone, and the more you know your body, the more power you have to change your story.
