The Key to Feeling Your Joyful, Sexy Self
Episode 11: Julie Blamphin on Pelvic Floor Stability
If you dread sneezing or plan the day’s activities with an eye on access to bathrooms, listen to this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman. Host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Julie Blamphin for a frank discussion about your pelvic floor and what you need to do to enjoy leak-free laughter and sex without pain.
“This is our primal female power, this area of sensuality and sexuality.”
Show Notes:
Our bodies change as we age. For many women, that means incontinence, discomfort during intercourse and other pelvic floor problems that we never want to talk about. So we suffer in silence and maybe lose touch with an important part of ourselves. It doesn’t have to be that way. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman (previously Woman Worriers) podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Julie Blamphin, a certified pelvic floor yoga instructor and co-founder of Celebrate the Pelvic Floor, to talk about how this critical component of our core affects our well being and sense of self, and how using yoga and other techniques can strengthen our pelvic floor and help us get back in touch with our joyful, sexy selves.
