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!

Hi Fabulous Reader! 2 underrated health upgrades women our age often miss: Short bursts of maximal effort (“sprint”) intervals Fiber from real food Why sprint intervals? Power is one of the first physical qualities we lose with age. Power helps us stay athletic, and better protected from falls and injury as we age. I’m not talking about hour-long HIIT classes. I mean ultra short 20 - 30 second bursts of max effort: bike sprints, rower sprints, battleropes, medball slams, etc. Click here for...

Hi Reader!A quick story about me. Let me know if you can relate. I grew up reading Seventeen, Bop, and Teen Vogue. Somewhere along the way, I became convinced of a narrative: that in order to feel attractive and accepted, my body needed to look a certain way. So in college, while teaching step aerobics, I’d literally calculate calories burned after every class. Because my brain genuinely believed I could "earn" food with exercise. Then I found weight lifting. In the late 90s and early 2000s,...

Hi Reader!The women who are actually happy with their health and physique, are doing what most aren’t: They’re dialed in to their psychology. The (often unconscious) beliefs driving their behavior. Most women who feel a gap between where they are and where they want to be, fall into two camps: ProcrastinationorBelieving they’re the exception I was both. Why? Because of how we’re beautifully created! We're not biologically wired to act today for a better—but uncertain—future. So we delay…...
