We’re diving into a conversation that’s long overdue. In this episode, Sarena interviews me about pelvic floor health—what it really is, why it’s so misunderstood, and how it impacts women after childbirth (and well beyond).

I share my personal journey navigating pelvic floor dysfunction as a personal trainer and mum, the emotional and physical toll it can take, and the major gaps in postpartum education and support.

We also talk about breathwork, body awareness, and what truly needs to change in how we care for women after birth.

Whether you're postpartum, planning for a baby, or supporting other women on their journey, this episode is packed with insight, truth bombs, and practical tools.

👉 Stick around to the end for ways to get real support that actually makes a difference.
