Is your Pelvic Floor trying to tell you something?
Do you pee a little when you sneeze, cough, or laugh?
In this episode, I welcome Courtney Virden—a fitness trainer and holistic coach who’s spent the last over 20 years helping women strengthen their pelvic floor, heal their Diastasis Recti (aka mommy pooch), and feel more confident in their skin.
We talked about everything from pelvic floor physical therapy to how to teach our daughters about pelvic floor health at any age.
