34 How to Not Pee When You Sneeze

In this episode of the Womb Women Podcast, Britt and Erica tackle the often-ignored topic of pelvic floor health. Erica reveals a surprising truth contrary to what women usually get told: pelvic floor dysfunction is often caused by tension, not weakness. 

Tune in to learn:

• The myth that pelvic floor dysfunction is solely due to weak muscles.
• Why excessive tension in the pelvic floor might be the real culprit.
• Grounding exercises to improve body awareness and connection.
• Relaxation and breathing techniques that support pelvic health.
• How to address gaps in postpartum care and advocate for better pelvic health education.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand their pelvic health or for healthcare providers supporting women in this journey.
