Episode 33 — If It’s Not a Floor, Why Do You Call It a Pelvic Floor?
In this deeply personal and reflective episode, Claire Sparrow explores one of the questions she’s asked most often:
If it’s not a floor, why do you still call it a pelvic floor?
Claire shares the emotional journey behind naming her bestselling book Hope for Your Pelvic Floor—from wrestling with professional expectations to realising that accessibility and empathy matter most. Through stories of mentorship, creative struggle, and honest reflection, Claire reveals why language is more than semantics—it’s how we build trust, inclusion, and hope.
You’ll learn:
Why Claire chose to keep “pelvic floor” in her title, even though she teaches it’s really a pelvic diaphragm
How breath is the bridge between your two diaphragms—the respiratory and the pelvic—and why this changes everything
The power of imagination: how what you picture in your body, you create in your body
What hope truly means in the context of healing—not wishful thinking, but possibility and understanding

“Hope is not passive. It’s the space that opens when we understand our bodies were never broken—only misunderstood.”
