Interested in changing up your career? Wondering where to even start? Aileen is a successful health and career coach that guides people daily in these areas! Listen in as she explains how she works with clients to get everyone in their best and most fitting career! Aileen also takes us through how "you are what your skin eats". The skin is the largest organ in our body and it absorbs whatever we put on it- the face and scalp are the most absorbent. Do you pay attention to the chemicals in your products? Did you know the FDA doesn't look at what goes into skin care products and in the United States there are only around 50 banned chemicals/substances for healthcare skin products...compared to thousands in the UK. Aileen reviews the top products to stay away from and what to look for.

WOW! This episode goes there! We talk all about pelvic health- peeing, leaking, prolapsing (what the heck is prolapsing?!). When it's normal and when it's not- hint: it's never normal and if this conversation hit's home for you, you should talk to a specialist or your PCP/OBGYN today! Leaking urine is unfortunately a common occurrence with sport- often dismissed and laughed off or hidden never to be discussed! Susan and Tonya bring up some great tips to help if this is happening to you so listen in until the end! Like, share and tag a friend! Let's stop normalizing this and start healing!
