From prolapse to powerlifting (and everything in between): Em's personal story
In today’s episode, Em opens up about her journey — from postnatal prolapse to becoming a passionate educator, coach, and yes, powerlifter-in-the-making 💪🏼
It’s a real, raw and empowering conversation about what happens when you push too hard, too soon after having babies, and how the “bounce back” culture leaves women unsupported and uninformed.
Em shares how her postnatal experience was the wake-up call that changed everything — not just for her, but for her career and the advent of Soul Sister Health.
Together, Anna and Em unpack the physical and emotional toll of rushing recovery, how postnatal and perimenopause often collide, and why so many women hit their 40s feeling exhausted, inflamed, and out of sync with their bodies.
But this isn’t a doom-and-gloom chat — it’s about empowerment, education, and possibility. Wherever you are on your journey — whether your “babies” are teenagers or you’re deep in perimenopause — there’s so much you can do to feel strong, energised, and confident again.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why slowing down was the game-changer in Em’s recovery
✨ How the postnatal years impact your hormones, metabolism, and pelvic floor long-term
✨ Why “what used to work” no longer does — and how to shift your approach
✨ The fundamentals of rebuilding your body from the inside out
✨ Simple, sustainable steps you can take today to support your body, hormones, and energy
And if you’re ready to hit reset — we’ve got you covered.
