Menopause Must Knows

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but many of us feel unprepared—especially for the pelvic floor changes like dryness, leakage, or prolapse that can come with it. We’re covering the essentials: hormones, hot flashes, and how pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you move through this stage with strength and ease.

The Truth About Ab Separation

Diastasis recti aka abdominal separation. It happens to almost everyone during pregnancy, yet it’s surrounded by confusion and fear. In this episode of TMI Tuesdays, we unpack what diastasis really is, why it’s often nothing to panic about, and how the fear around it can actually hold people back from safely loading and training their core in pregnancy and postpartum. We also discuss what recovery can look like when it continues to be an issue postpartum, when surgery might be considered, and how to approach core training with confidence

In this episode, we break down what to look for when choosing a provider, questions to ask before booking, and how to find the right fit for your body, goals, and comfort level.

The Truth About SI Joint Pain: Your Pelvis Is Still Where It Belongs

Think your pelvis is “out of alignment” or “separating from relaxin”? Think again. In this episode of TMI Tuesdays with Lauren & Di, we bust some of the biggest myths about sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain. We unpack what SIJ pain actually is (and isn’t), who tends to experience it, and the common contributing factors that can make it flare up. Whether you’ve been told your pelvis is “separated” or you’re just curious about what’s really going on down there, this one’s for you.

Varicose Veins on your Vulva

In this episode of TMI Tuesdays, Lauren & Di explore the topic of vulvar varicosities—swollen veins in the vulvar region that can cause pain, discomfort, and often a bit of embarrassment. We discuss what causes these varicose veins, how they differ from typical leg varicosities, and why they can be more common during pregnancy. We’ll also share tips on managing the symptoms, from lifestyle changes to medical treatments, and dive into what options are available for relief. If you've ever wondered why these veins appear or how to cope, this episode is for you!

Let's Talk About Depth Baby - The Ohnut Review

Is sex painful? This week, we’re diving deep into one of the most practical sex-positive tools out there: the Ohnut. Lauren and Di unpack its origin story, how it works, the latest clinical research, pros and cons, user reviews, and how it stacks up against other options. Whether you’re a pelvic health provider or someone navigating deep dyspareunia, this is a must-listen.

When Sex Hurts

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual pain and trauma, including references to birth trauma, sexual trauma, and medical experiences that may be distressing for some listeners. Please take care while listening. Painful sex, aka dyspareunia, is more common than you think. In fact, up to 35% of women will experience it at some point in their lives. But here’s the thing: most don’t talk about it. Whether it’s burning, stinging, tightness, or deep internal pain, many people feel too embarrassed or ashamed to bring it up, even with their healthcare providers. In this episode, Lauren and Di dive into why sex can hurt, what’s not normal, and what might be going on beneath the surface. From pelvic floor tension to endometriosis, birth trauma to psychological factors, we cover the many root causes, because it’s rarely “just in your head.”

Bladder Anxiety: When your bladder runs the show

Do you pee just in case before leaving the house? Always scouting out the nearest bathroom? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down what overactive bladder (OAB) really is, why it happens, and what you can actually do about it (cutting coffee and spicy food doesn't usually do the trick!). We’ll bust common myths, share practical tips, and help you take back control, so your bladder isn’t running the show.
