I feel like I P*E ALL THE TIME!

If this sounds like you you and want to take the first steps to regaining bladder control, then the latest episode of is for you.

The bladder is a muscle and when it stretches that triggers the urge to urinate. BUT if we go often and ā€œjust in caseā€ we start to desensitize the bladder to stretch and smaller quantities of urine trigger that urge sooner.

02/03/2026

One of the MOST COMMON things I treat as a pelvic floor physiotherapist is urinary frequency. People who feel like they urinate ALL THE TIME.

While there are sometimes underlying issues, often itā€™s how they have trained their bladder. The bladder is a muscle and is sensitive to stretch. When it stretches, that triggers our need to p*e.

BUT when we go to the bathroom ā€œjust in caseā€ that means our bladder doesnā€™t get to stretch and smaller volumes of urine trigger the reflex sooner. And you start feeling like you have a small bladder.

On this weeks episode of we are talking all things bladder health. Listen if you want to regain bladder control and stop feeling like you have a tiny bladder.

The reason your New Years Resolutions arenā€™t stickingā€¦

Weā€™re getting to the time when MOST people abandon their New Years Resolutions.

Maybe your goal was just TOO big and it didnā€™t support what you are capable of right now.

Maybe it wasnā€™t sustainable.

Maybe you had a busy first week of January and youā€™ve decided to just abandon the whole thing.

But guess what, January 1st is not some magical date. Reevaluate, adjust and shift, itā€™s okay to break the rules you made because they arenā€™t working for you.

Turning a negative comment into education. šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’•

If youā€™ve been following me for a while you know I LOVE educating women.

A recent post about my mindset around weightlifting and physical activity really got under the nerves of someone online.

How could I, someone in a bigger body, possibly know anything about weightlifting and physical activity??? šŸ˜®

Well, because I have a degree in Kinesiology (Athletic Therapy) a Mastersā€™ in Physical Therapy oh and if youā€™re wondering I also have a Psychology degree. I have also been active my entire life.

Women of all body types deserve health information and access to healthcare. I hope my message about health being my goal for weightlifting vs physical appearance resonates with someone and helps them to move their body.

People CAN be fit and healthy in many body types. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

As a Pelvic Health Physio I talk about l**e A LOT! šŸ’¦

L**e is not created equally and itā€™s important to choose one that is right for you and not just whatever is available on the shelf.

šŸ’§Water-based are readily available and compatible with most material. They can absorb quickly and become sticky so you may have to reapply.

šŸ’§Silicone-based is a great alternative and has more longevity. Keep it away from those silicone toys though as it will break down the material.

šŸ’§Oil-based has a lot of longevity, can be moisturizing. Keep away from latex and be mindful that it may stain your sheets.

Try to choose a l**e that is free from parabans and preservatives, your pelvic floor will thank you.
