If you've ever wondered whether your pelvic floor issues are "normal"… this episode is for you. Today I'm sitting down with pelvic health expert Dr. Sarah Tally to talk about the things women whisper about, ignore, or think they just have to "deal with" as they get older - leaking, urgency, pain with sex, constipation, postpartum changes, perimenopause shifts, AND the stuff nobody warned us about.

Sarah shares how she found her way into pelvic floor physical therapy, why women over 40 dismiss symptoms that actually aren't normal, and the surprising signs your pelvic floor needs support (even if you've never had kids). We dig into bladder habits, urgency triggers, constipation, painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, hormone changes, and why so many women are stuck thinking a "tiny bladder" is just their personality trait.

You'll also learn simple strategies to calm urgency, retrain your bladder, and understand what's really going on with your pelvic floor - all in a down-to-earth, totally shame-free way!

If you've ever peed a little when you laugh, felt like you need the bathroom every 10 minutes, or wondered whether dryness or pain is just part of getting older… this is your episode.

Pull up a seat, get comfy, and let's talk about the stuff women deserve to understand.
