What if the reason your pelvic floor exercises aren't sticking isn't lack of willpower — it's that you've been given the wrong framework entirely?
In this episode, Claire shares a perspective that surprised even her. Recorded from a clifftop cottage on the northeast coast of Scotland, she opens up about something she's been quietly wrestling with — and how a book called The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin gave her the language to finally make sense of it.
We talk so much about pelvic floor goals. Run a 5k without a pad. Jump on the trampoline. Stop wearing a liner. These are real, valid goals — and Claire still believes in them. But what happens when you reach that goal? And what about the women who feel crushed under the weight of not getting there fast enough?
This episode introduces a different lens: the pelvic floor resolution. Not a destination. Not a pass or fail. A way of being — small, daily, forever. And why that shift might be exactly what you need to stop feeling behind and start feeling in control.
In this episode:
• Why goals can sometimes make pelvic floor recovery feel heavier, not lighter
• The difference between a goal and a resolution — and why it matters for your pelvic health
• How even the smallest daily moment counts (yes, even at your desk or brushing your teeth)
• Why lifelong pelvic floor care is an opportunity, not a burden
• Claire's own pelvic floor resolution — and an invitation to create yours
