Summary

Women have been taught incontinence is our destiny–that we should just accept it and wear pads. Pelvic floor issues like prolapse are often normalized–we should just stop running, jumping, and lifting heavy sh*t. This week’s guest The Vagina Coach, Kim Vopni, is having none of it, and she dives into all the therapies and tools available to help remedy prolapse, incontinence, and other pelvic floor issues so you can continue doing the activities you love. And she should know, Kim has dealt with her share of pelvic floor issues, including experiencing a stage 2 uterine prolapse, which she ultimately resolved through a series of special pelvic floor exercises.

Kim is the founder of Pelvienne Wellness Inc - a company offering pelvic health programs, products, and coaching for women in pregnancy, motherhood, and menopause. Kim also certifies other fitness and movement professionals to work with women with core and pelvic floor challenges through her Core Confidence Specialist Certification and Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist Certification. She is the author of the best selling book, Your Pelvic Floor. She also runs Buff Muff Challenges to help women learn and get in the habit of training their pelvic floor. You can find her on-line at www.vaginacoach.com and on social media @vaginacoach.

0:31.2	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:33.7	I hope you all are well.
0:36.3	Before we get to it today, I wanted to follow up on my mammogram.
0:41.3	For those of you who didn't listen to the show I did on breast health and menopause with Dr. Amy
0:45.7	Commander, first, I encourage you to check that out. It was a great episode. And second, in the
0:51.1	intro of that show, I revealed how I had confessed to her after the show that it had been more than 10 years, definitely more than 10 years, since I had a mammogram.

1:09.8	And she was just so damn kind that I knew that I had to make the appointment and follow through with it.
1:15.5	And it was something that I had been really putting off for, well, a decade or more.

1:22.0	And while I was explaining all that in the intro, I broke down crying, which felt like such an overreaction,
1:29.0	but my podcast producer Carrie convinced me to keep the intro as it was because she believed
1:35.2	it would touch people. And it did. I heard from many of you who thanked me for being vulnerable
1:40.4	and said that you were scared too. One woman actually shared that it took her three
1:45.9	times just to listen to the episode because breast cancer scares her so much. And I wanted to
1:52.3	just give a little context to that and talk about this a little more because it is something that
