S3 Episode 4 - Postpartum Rugby Mum Annette
In this feel-good episode, Annette and I chat about the wonderful and sometimes wobbly journey of getting back into fitness and sport (rugby) after having a baby. We share our own experiences. We talk about the importance of having a postpartum check with a women's health physio before participating in any form of activity, listening to your body and ignoring the pressure to 'bounce back'. Instead its about relearning to trust your body's incredible ability to adapt, rebuild and shine in a brand new way. Because yes - your body has made a human and that my friend is a bloody big deal.This episode is your reminder that you are stronger than you think and that progress isn't going to be linear. It will come with frustrations but you WILL make it through because postpartum power isn't about perfection, its about showing up one messy step at a time. Here's a bit about Annette - I’m Annette, a 33 year old mum of two who has returned to playing Championship rugby after 2 c-sections. It’s always been a goal of mine to return to play the sport I love, to demonstrate to my children and others around me that your passions and hobbies don’t stop after motherhood begins. Both times I’ve documented my postpartum journey back to playing on @postpartumrugbymum on Instagram, and in doing so, have connected with rugby mums and other sport mums from all over the world with a common goal. Most recently, myself and two friends have launched an invitational rugby team formed entirely of mums and we currently have a Facebook group of over 600 members!You can follow Annette on Instagram @postpartumrugbymumAnd don't forget to follow me too @me_myself_and_my_vagina

There is something very special when someone feels safe to share their story with you and that is exactly what happened today when Holly spoke openly, for the first time, about her prolapse. Talking about something so personal isn't easy and takes bravery and real guts. It was a real privilege that Holly felt she could do it on my podcast.Like me, Holly wants to share her story so that women know that they aren't alone and with the right help, support and guidance know that your life doesn't have to stop because you have a prolapse. So, come on ladies what are you waiting for, let's talk about our vaginas, the good, the bad and everything in-between. Here's a bit about Holly - Holly is a passionate midwife, with years of experience and a total worshiper of the pelvic floor, however never did she think she'd suffer a pelvic organ prolapse herself in her mid-20s! Since her experience, Holly has been inspired to share her story and increase awareness amongst her rugby community. This is preventable for female sportspeople at all levels and she is particularly passionate about supporting this prevention through education and open conversation amongst grassroots women!You can follow Holly on Instagram - @theblossomingmidwifeAnd don't forget to follow me too @me_myself_and_my_vagina.

S3 Episode 2 - What does health mean to you?
What does health mean to you? I believe it can mean a lot of different things to different people. For me, the meaning of health has changed so much over the years and what it meant to me in my 20's and 30's is completely different to what it means to me now. Health is something that we take for granted which can be easily taken away from us. Health runs much deeper than physical, its emotional, sexual and mental and I believe its something that we need to appreciate more. So tell me, has the meaning of health changed for you?Happy Listening :-) Don't forget you can follow me on Instagram @me_myself_and_my_vagina

Around 1.5 million women are currently living in the UK with the condition and we know so little about it but Daisy and I are here to change that!Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body.

With the right treatment, Endometriosis can be managed. In this episode, Daisy opens up by sharing her story of living with Endometriosis. Here is a little bit about Daisy - Daisy is an advocate and expert in managing endometriosis and other chronic health conditions.

S2 Episode 4 - Let's talk about SEX with Becci Murtagh (Part 2)
Welcome back Becci Murtagh from Wild Luna Yoga. Have you ever spoken to your friends about masturbation? No, why not? Too embarrassed? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Or do you find it awkward? Why is it another taboo subject, when it can be a natural form of self-care for some women? In this episode we talk openly and honestly about female masturbation and why some women are embarrassed and sometimes ashamed to even say the word let alone talk about it. More women are doing it than you might think!There are also so many benefits of it too, which myself and Becci also chat about. A study published in 2020 by the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that when women who used similar techniques and stimulations that feel good when masturbating during sex with their partner reported a better orgasmic response. Research also suggests that masturbation can be helpful to women entering menopause. Not everyone is going to shout it from the roof tops that they masturbate but never be embarrassed that you do. The only way we are going to break away from the stigma is to have open conversations and help spread awareness.Happy listening :-)Follow me on Instagram @me_myself_and _my_vaginaFollow Becci on Instagram @wild_luna_yoga.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
A podcast that is here is break the silence, shatter the taboo and raise awareness about women's health through real conversations. I'm a BIG believer that NO topic should be off limits and nothing should be an embarrassment when it comes to women's health.By sharing my story, I want women to know that they aren't alone and help them understand and be confident in their bodies.
