Episode 7: Peeing Yourself Isn’t Normal: The Truth About Pelvic Floor Health And How to Stop the Leak!

In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise tackles a topic that too many women accept as normal but shouldn’t: urinary leakage after childbirth. If you've ever laughed, sneezed, or jumped on a trampoline and felt a little “Oops,” this episode is for you! Denise welcomes Kristin Thompson, a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, to debunk myths, break the silence, and empower women to take control of their pelvic health. Kristin shares how pregnancy, childbirth, stress, and even certain work environments impact the pelvic floor, and why kegels alone aren’t the solution. We cover: - What the pelvic floor actually is (and why it’s so important) - Why leaking after childbirth doesn’t have to be your norm - How stress and posture can impact pelvic floor dysfunction - Why pelvic floor therapy is more than "just kegels" (hello, blueberry method! 🍇) - What to do if surgery has been recommended—but you’re not sure it’s your only option - One simple thing you can do today to strengthen your pelvic floor Kristin also opens up about her journey as a working mom, how she balances career and family, and the moments when she, too, has struggled with feeling “good enough.” This episode is packed with real talk, expert advice, and practical steps to help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident.
