In this episode, I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas to talk about what is actually normal when it comes to peeing, pooping, pelvic floor symptoms, and sex.

We break down the everyday things so many people assume are normal, like peeing all the time, straining to poop, leaking urine, bloating, and pain with sex, and explain when those things deserve a closer look.

Alicia also shares why she wrote Power to the Pelvis and how pelvic floor education can help people better understand what their bodies are trying to say.

In this episode, we cover:

• how often most adults should pee during the day and at night

• what a healthy urine stream, color, and bladder volume look like

• why “just in case” peeing can train your bladder the wrong way

• what normal bowel movement frequency and stool consistency look like

• why straining is not normal for urination or bowel movements

• whether bloating should be considered normal

• what leakage actually means and why it should not be ignored

• why pain with sex is common but not something you should accept

• when to see a pelvic floor PT

If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are just part of life or a sign your body needs support, this episode gives you a clear starting point.
