If you've ever skipped the trampoline, crossed your legs before a sneeze, or felt like you're always running to the bathroom, this episode is for you.

My guest, Jennifer Lormand, is an exercise physiologist, author, researcher, and co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler. After three babies, she was diagnosed with stage 2 prolapse at 36 and told she'd need surgery. Instead, she went looking for another way, and now she helps women heal their pelvic floor without Kegels or invasive devices. This conversation is part of my own story too.

Here's what we'll cover:

• What your pelvic floor actually is, and why an overly tight pelvic floor is still a weak one
• The everyday signs your pelvic floor needs attention (and the bladder myth your mom may have told you)
• Simple, low-cost changes you can start today, from a toilet stool to sizing up your waistbands

As women, we pour so much into caring for others that we often put our own bodies on the back burner. My hope is that you walk away believing that healing is possible for you, and that the body God gave you is worth the time it takes to care of.
