Ladies, your pelvic floor is not just one muscle—it’s a whole squad of muscles, tissues, and structures working behind the scenes to keep you supported, strong, and in control. But just like any friend group, if one member starts acting up, the whole squad feels it—especially during menopause.

In this episode of Take Care of Your Kitty, we’re breaking it all down in the most relatable way possible. Your pelvic floor is made up of:

💪 The Strong One – (Levator Ani) Holding it all together

🧘‍♀️ The Flexible One – (Pelvic Diaphragm) Keeping things balanced

🚪 The Gatekeeper – (Sphincters) Controlling the exits

😩 The Overachiever – (Tight Pelvic Floor Muscles) Always working too hard

🛠 The Support System – (Connective Tissue & Fascia) Holding everything in place

But what happens when menopause rolls in? Your once-reliable squad starts switching up on you—leading to leaks, pressure, discomfort, and more. Don’t worry, though—I’ve got you covered with tips to keep everything in check so your pelvic floor can keep showing up for you!

Tune in to learn:

✔️ How your pelvic floor functions like a group of girlfriends

✔️ What happens to these muscles and tissues during menopause

✔️ Why some women experience leaks, pelvic pain, or prolapse

✔️ Simple ways to strengthen, balance, and support your pelvic floor at any stage of life

If you’ve ever laughed a little too hard and had an “oops” moment, felt heaviness down there, or wondered what’s actually happening to your body in midlife, this one’s for you!

This week I’m representing THUG mentality..

This episode is all about claiming your inner T.H.U.G.—Take Charge, Honor Yourself, Unleash Your Strength, and Grow Unapologetically. Inspired by Trick Daddy’s “I’m a Thug,” we’re celebrating the empowerment, resilience, and independence that come with living life on your terms, especially as you step into your 40s, 50s, and beyond. As women, we often balance caregiving for aging parents, supporting our families, building careers, and managing relationships. But when it comes to taking time for ourselves? That can get pushed to the bottom of the list.

Today, we’re shifting that mindset. We’ll explore practical strategies to help you cope with the challenges of this time of life, set boundaries, and make self-care a priority. This episode will help you embrace the T.H.U.G. acronym to support your physical, mental, and emotional health—because you deserve the same care and attention you give to everyone else.

If you’re finding it hard to stay sharp or remember simple things, this episode is for you. Understanding why these changes happen and what you can do to keep your mind in top shape can be empowering. Whether you’re dealing with a little brain fog or just want to know how to keep your memory strong, these tips and insights will give you the clarity you need.
