Welcome to the newly rebranded Feeling Good Naked podcast — same mission, new energy! Formerly known as Make Me Pretty, this show is all about supporting you in "feeling f@$&ing fabulous after 40." In this episode, I’m sharing why I decided to hijack my own podcast, the story behind the bold new name, and what you can expect moving forward. It’s time to strip away old expectations and step fully into your most empowered, authentic self.

We are challenging the traditional narrative around aging and exploring midlife as a powerful opportunity for reinvention. Instead of viewing this stage as a time of decline, we embrace it as a vibrant period for growth, transformation, and new beginnings. We dive into conversations about health at midlife and beyond. We explore the interconnected pillars of physical, mental, spiritual, and sexual well-being, discussing how each area evolves as we age — and how to nurture them for a vibrant, fulfilling life. Expect honest insights, expert advice, and practical strategies to help you thrive in every dimension of your health journey.

The body's plumbing, or urinary system works well much of the time on most people but when it doesn't it can disrupt daily life significantly and possibly cause illness. In this episode, we were fortunate to get to sit down with a Physician Associate in Urology, Ben Abebe, PA-C to discuss when things are working well in the urinary system, as well as when they are not functioning as they should. Some more common examples of dysfunction are leaking of urine, difficulty controlling the pressure, timing and amount of urine, discomfort, frequency, urgency and feelings of distress. Through this introduction into the challenges some face with urination, I am hopeful that healthy habits will be sought, conservations will be encouraged, questions will be asked and treatment will be sought after when needed.
