Pelvic health is central to our strength, stability, sexuality and confidence — yet so many women were never taught how to care for it. In this episode, Kim Vopni (The Vagina Coach) shares how pelvic floor health impacts everything from exercise performance and back pain to bladder and bowel control, prolapse risk, and sexual pleasure. We talk myths, why so many women dismiss symptoms, and the practical foundations that help you feel empowered in your body at every life stage — especially through perimenopause and post-menopause.
