Why kegels were making my tinkling worse 🤭 — and an empowering invite for you!!


Hi Reader!

I’m excited to host a special lunchtime virtual session this Monday April 27 with my friend and pelvic floor physical therapist, Meghan Lisson. (Mom - if you are reading this, I hope you can make it! 😊)

Here's a quick reality check I wish someone gave me sooner:

Our ignored pelvic floor doesn't just “stay the same.”

It usually gets worse.

I went from occasional leaking…
to not being able to sneeze or jump without it.
To barely making it to the bathroom—even when my bladder wasn’t full.

I normalized it for years.


Finally, I saw a pelvic floor PT (Meghan at Queen’s).

What I learned:
I wasn’t just weak and kegels weren't cutting it—I was experiencing muscle tightness too which was a big contributor to my issues.
A couple months later:
daily issues → almost gone. 🥳


In many countries, pelvic floor physical therapy is the standard postpartum care.
Because it prevents years of embarrassment, odor, frustration—and bigger problems later.


We’re doing a live workshop Monday at 12:30pm (HST). Mark your calendars. I'll be sending email reminders too.

If you’ve ever:

  • crossed your legs to sneeze
  • rushed to the bathroom
  • avoided certain movements because of that tinkle worry
  • want to learn how to age strong and independent—without assuming Depends are your future?

This is your sign. Invite a friend or a loved one or both.

👉 Click here to join live. Cameras on/off is all good! Hit reply with your questions and Meghan will go over them!

Hey Fabulous Friends! I'm gonna cut straight to the point. Stop Guessing. If you've been trying to change your body (make it stronger, shed a little fat, get your lab-work to improve ...) and nothing seems to be helping, consider this ... The problem is you still think you need more motivation, more discipline and more cardio. You're stuck because you're missing a stepwise decision making framework. Tracking is a skill and it's much easier than you think. AND ... it's temporary. How this...

STRONG WOMEN COMMUNITY + RESOURCES COACHING YOUTUBE Happy 4th of July, Fabulous Folks! 🇺🇸 I’ve been spending the past month deep diving the nervous system for my latest course: Strong, Lean & Sleeping Again: The Midlife Nervous System Reset. I expected to learn the newest strategies to “stress less” for health + fat loss. Instead, it ended up completely changing the way I think about why so many of us stay stuck. Why do our brains seem to be so good at learning what keeps us worried… and so...
