This week – to Nicole’s great chagrin – Lauren’s got them trying pelvic floor trainers. Do you dread an especially violent sneeze or a go on the trampoline? Many women post-childbirth (as well as during menopause) suffer from a weakened pelvic floor, which can often cause incontinence issues and leave many women feeling alone and embarrassed. Today, Nicole and Lauren have an honest discussion about the state of their pelvic floors and how they got on with the pelvic floor trainer.

This week Lauren and Nicole are doing NOTHING! That's right, absolutely nothing. ‘Niksen’ is the Dutch word for "doing nothing" and it's the latest trend that's been taking the wellness world by storm. Listen to today's episode to learn more about how exactly Niksen works, whether it has any negative side effects - you'd be surprised! - and what happens when Nicole lets go and does nothing. Again, it's not what you'd expect to say the least.

This week, the ladies practise self-love! They discuss high-fiving their reflections, Lauren digs deep, and Nicole talks giving yourself permission to feel, guilt-free.
