Your Pelvic Floor Is Not a Reason to Opt Out


What happens when society quietly assumes you’re there to drop off, not join in?
In this more personal episode, Claire shares a recent experience that stopped her in her tracks. What began as a simple snowboarding lesson with her son became a powerful reflection on how women, particularly mums and women of a certain age, are so often expected to sit on the sidelines.
Claire explores how these assumptions intersect with pelvic health, prolapse, incontinence, menopause, and confidence. She reflects on her own journey from prolapse diagnosis to participation, and asks an important question:
Are you saying no because you truly can’t, or because you’ve been taught to believe you shouldn’t?
This episode is a gentle invitation to look at what might still be possible, to find the lowest step back in, and to remember that participation does not have to be all or nothing.
You don’t need to snowboard.
You don’t need to prove anything.
But you don’t need to sit life out either.
There is hope for your pelvic floor, and there is a way back into your life.
