Peeing Your Pants Isn’t Cool—But It Is Normal


Listen Later

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.

Next episode:
Weight, hormones, and midlife body changes—why it happens and how to handle it with compassion.
