Welcome back, Menobodies! Beth dives into the first real topic episode with a mix of humor, honesty, and real talk about something a lot of women deal with but rarely discuss—bladder leaks and pelvic floor changes during perimenopause and menopause.

Yes, we’re talking about sneezing, laughing, running, or jumping…and realizing you just tinkled a bit. It happens, and Beth’s here to normalize the conversation, reduce the shame, and explore what you can actually do about it.

In this episode, Beth covers:

• Why bladder leaks are common: age, childbirth, menopause, and muscle fatigue
  
  
• Her personal “black shorts” running story (TMI, but so relatable)
  
  
• Why normalizing these symptoms can spark better healthcare and awareness
  
  
• The connection between menopause and pelvic floor weakness
  
  
• Action vs. acceptance—how to find your own balance
  
  
• Treatment and support options: pelvic floor rehab, Pilates, holistic care, and even surgery
  
  
• The good news—many options are covered by insurance
  
  

Key takeaway:
You’re not alone, you’re not broken, and you get to choose your next step—whether that’s acceptance, action, or both.

Beth’s encouragement:
Let’s talk about it without shame. The more we speak up, the more we change how women’s health is treated and understood.
