There is something very special when someone feels safe to share their story with you and that is exactly what happened today when Holly spoke openly, for the first time, about her prolapse. Talking about something so personal isn't easy and takes bravery and real guts. It was a real privilege that Holly felt she could do it on my podcast.

Like me, Holly wants to share her story so that women know that they aren't alone and with the right help, support and guidance know that your life doesn't have to stop because you have a prolapse.

So, come on ladies what are you waiting for, let's talk about our vaginas, the good, the bad and everything in-between.

Here's a bit about Holly -

Holly is a passionate midwife, with years of experience and a total worshiper of the pelvic floor, however never did she think she'd suffer a pelvic organ prolapse herself in her mid-20s! Since her experience, Holly has been inspired to share her story and increase awareness amongst her rugby community. This is preventable for female sportspeople at all levels and she is particularly passionate about supporting this prevention through education and open conversation amongst grassroots women!

What does health mean to you? I believe it can mean a lot of different things to different people. For me, the meaning of health has changed so much over the years and what it meant to me in my 20's and 30's is completely different to what it means to me now.

Health is something that we take for granted which can be easily taken away from us. Health runs much deeper than physical, its emotional, sexual and mental and I believe its something that we need to appreciate more.

So tell me, has the meaning of health changed for you?

Happy Listening :-)

I know what you are thinking - Breathing? Seriously? I've been doing it since I was born! But have you been doing it properly? Mastering the art of breathing well will help you feel amazing from the inside out and we all deserve that.

In this episode I have the pleasure of chatting with Harriette a Women's Breathing Coach and practitioner. She explains why breathing is so important for women, how we should breathe and what affects our breathing.

So, put aside any distractions for a moment and get ready to breathe your way into a happier, healthier life.

Here is a bit about Harriette -

Harriette is Women’s Breathing Coach and practitioner, helping women to breathe well, so they can sleep better, feel calm and energised every day. With many breathing modalities only using science based on male bodies, Harriette is breaking the mould using research and experience to build practices that are female focused. This includes education on how women’s physiology affects breathing and a deep focus on how hormones affect breathing patterns. Her work has seen her collaborate with major brands including Savills, Braze, Jordans Ryvita and a global sports brand. Harriette’s work with groups and individuals sees her combine ancient and modern breathing practices with her background in dance and theatre bringing her unique approach to breathwork to life.
