Pelvic Floor Secrets

I describe Alzheimer’s dementia as a burglar repeatedly returning to rob the mind!

At first, he steals small things;
Names
Keys
Moments
Directions… many brush off as brain fog, ageing or simple forgetfulness. But the burglar keeps returning 😡.

They go out and forget where they are going
Forget how to get home
Put food in the oven, it never turn it on.

And slowly, the theft becomes devastating - because there is no “mind contents insurance” to replace what has been stolen.

The most precious assets of the mind are not money or possessions…

It is the memories of the spouse you loved
The children and grandchildren you carried, raised and nurtured
The life you built
The people you touched
The experiences that shaped you
The person you became

Yet some burglars don’t stop there!!! 😩

They come back for the voice:
The ability to communicate
To express needs
To advocate for yourself
To say “I love you”
To pray
To laugh
To explain pain
To be themselves….

It is cruel - it is heartbreaking and it is devastating to witness.. Losing our mum to this dis-ease was incredibly hard. Yet loving and caring for her over the last four years as it progressed and she was no longer able to walk after a stint in hospital during lockdown 😳, was also a privilege.

She may have forgotten who we were… but we will never forget who she was. Mum lived just six weeks shy of her 90th birthday.

She had had a mastectomy, back in 2011 - one of the many challenges she endured. But she rarely expressed the emotion of them. Did it contribute?

Possibly…

Many of the ‘burglars’ that steal our health do not arrive overnight. They accumulate quietly through lifestyle, stress, emotional suppressions, resentment, exhaustion, unforgiveness and years of simply “pushing through..”

Children leave home - the noise of the house is replaced with a silence that grows louder, especially after losing your spouse too.

And women…. Especially Black women… have mastered the art of smiling through pain, not realising the body stores it. Sometimes sickness, dysfunction and dis-ease are the final whispers of years of ignored notifications from the body.

This weekend at UNFILTERED Soho, in honour of my mum I’ll be speaking about the impact of breast and pelvic health on our overall wellbeing. Let’s begin to take control of our health.

It is such an invaluable resource. My guest speaker will share on thriving through breast cancer and why she started ‘Healing Kitchen..’ You don’t have to have been sick to attend… you just need to want wellness to remain, and be ready to ensure it does…

Menopause is not just a hormonal event. For many women, it is a history reveal.

By the time we reach menopause, we are not only carrying age, we are carrying years of accumulated stress, stored emotions, unprocessed experiences, poor recovery, disrupted sleep, rushed eating, over-giving, over working and bodies that have learned to stay on alert.

Just typing that list is exhausting 😳. The body remembers all of it!

And what is often labelled “menopause symptoms” may, in part, be the body exposing the cost of everything it has been holding for years.

Stress does not only affect mood. In influences our hormones, thyroid function - metabolism response, appetite, body fat storage, circadian rhythm - sleep quality and ultimately how we perform at work, home and within ourselves.

So yes, menopause may affect performance. But perhaps the deeper question is: what has your body been compensating for all these years?

This is why the conversation has to go beyond “fix the symptoms.”

We need to look at the internal world behind the transition:

⚡️How we respond to stress
🥑The foods that drive cortisol higher
🤔The lifestyle habits that keep the body in survival mode
⚡️And the long-term effect of adrenal overload on energy, weight, hormones and resilience.

This can of worms is HUGE!
But ignoring it and placing a ‘plaster over the sore’ is not the answer.

This weekend, as I talk about ‘How to drop a dress size in midlife,’ this is part of the real conversation.

Because it is not just about counting calories, testing willpower or our age.
It is about understanding what your body needs now, after everything it has already been through.

Pelvic Secrets 🤐

Not every pelvic secret is one you want to share,
Yet some secrets were never meant for silence or despair.

But who you choose to trust with them can change your whole world view,
For medicalising every whisper may not serve the deeper you.

If Kegels were the only thing required to make things right,
We wouldn’t see prolapse and leaks increasing left and right.

To truly know yourself you must be willing to begin,
A journey of awareness that travels deep within.

Your pelvic floor — your centre — quietly involved in all you do:
When you blink…
When you cough…
When you laugh and even when you chew:

When you sneeze..
Turn your head..
Or lay it down at night in bed…

Your stance..
Your gait..
How you move and eliminate.

Running, hopping, jumping high…
Sitting, standing, turning by.

Flexibility
Stability
Strength and power too…

Even in your most intimate moments —
when love is shared by two.

A responsive, connected pelvic floor is more precious than we’re told,
For the Source Seat of the body is truly worth its weight in gold.

It is the giver of life..
The keeper of soul —
The quiet foundation
that supports the whole💫.

When pelvic floor health becomes fashionable - when it is “On Trend in 2026” we are heading into dangerous territory!

I find it fascinating that this beautiful gateway that links our inner and outer worlds has become a ‘trend.’

I have been working in pelvic health since the 1990s - way before we followed influencers, menopause rebrands, fancy gadgets and celebrity confession podcasts.

Back then celebrities would not even associate with the topic for fear of branding themselves old!

The belief that leaking was ‘just a part of motherhood’ and midlife meant disappearing quietly.

The worry with trends though is five things happen:
📍It gets simplified
📍It gets aestheticised
📍It gets monetised
📍It gets influencer-isced
📍It loses context

‘Her Health & Happiness’ with Jenni Russell on - Jenni explores pelvic floor health as 2026’s Sunday Times trend, weighing pros and cons while highlighting overlooked factors. Essential listening for women in their third trimester and menopause.

One thing is true though - women in their 20’s -40’s are in the best position to have far more positive outcomes than those older, because they have chosen to access the information, those who went before them refused to acknowledge.

Saturday’s masterclass reminded me of something powerful and often misunderstood by so many women.

Better S*x and Flatter Abs do not begin with exercise. They begin with understanding the body. It’s not a conversation to keep avoiding. Outsourcing your health only happens when you don’t understand your own body, health and vitality.

When women in midlife understand how hormones influence muscle tone, fat distribution, desire and recovery, something shifts. When they recognise how the pelvic floor and abdominals are biomechanically connected, stabilising the spine and supporting intimate function, confidence grows.

When they learn how nutrition fuels tissue repair and how fascia allows slide, glide, and the absorption of hydration and responsiveness, movement stops feeling like punishment and starts feeling like possibility.

This is where transformation becomes sustainable - and enjoyable. Because in midlife, the goal is not to fight your body, but to work with its physiology.

That is exactly why Fit & Fabulous after 50 exists - to help women reconnect with strength, sensuality and structural confidence from the inside out.

2026 is the year of Responsibility, Union & Choice.

Responsibility for our health
Union between knowledge and action
Choice to age with vitality rather than decline.

It’s time to choose to take action! The Fit & Fabulous after 50 6 week ARC (Awareness, Restoration, Connection) begins this evening. It’s time to put yourself first and this is your open door.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Why did this statement hit me differently today? It’s not new - it just landed in a way that made me think about my business.

Every January, gyms are full - but that’s temporary.
Every weekend, retreats sell out.
Every programme promises transformation.

Yet…
For many, the follow-through doesn’t deliver the results.

So they need..

Another class
Another retreat
Another ‘reset.’

It’s not that your results continue to be invisible, it’s that they’re filled with contradiction.

Because, we want:

🥑 good food and alcohol 🍸
💃🏾 movement and late nights 🥱
❤️‍🩹 healing and over-stimulation ☕️
😴 rest and constant output 🏃🏾‍♀️

We want it all - At the Same Time!!

For many it is the reason change isn’t coming. So we feel we need to be more motivated, or. We need another experience or another hit of inspiration.

It made we realise that we all have a shared enemy - but no one wants to name it:

We want coherence in our body yet we are constantly pulling in opposite directions as mentioned above.

It’s not that we lack discipline - it’s more we are not recognising the outcomes of our contradictions.
Because we don’t truly understand our physiology.

It’s like asking the nervous systems to regulate whilst repeatedly deregulating it.

Or asking the body to adapt whilst consistently interrupting the recovery needed to do so.

There are 7 things women are looking for and we will uncover them on the 24th. It’s FREE - it’s Online and it’s the best start to that weekend!

To be Fit & Fabulous after Fifty is more than just a throwaway statement that follows the indulgence of Christmas.

It is an attitude, a stance within reach for every woman who wants to stop chasing health and start embodying it.

At sassy, sexy, 63 - it has been the lifestyle I have enjoyed and continue to do so.

On January 24th my FREE Online Masterclass is an opportunity for you to discover the secrets to that success. It’s more than just great posture, a good looking body and good nutrition.

✨Healthy skin, hair, nails, teeth are more than products and procedures. Organ vitality - living without having to use medication for many is almost unheard of.

📍I will share 7 things women are looking for beneath the surface narratives and quick fixes.

💛Forgiveness is a transmuter. It is not a primary emotion but a transformative process that alters emotional charge.

It metabolises high-frequency emotions like anger, shame, guilt and resentment - turning them into neutrality, acceptance air compassion.

Biochemically, this shift lowers cortisol and adrenaline, whilst increasing serotonin and oxytocin. It literally softens the chemistry of stress.

It’s a re-patterning act in the brain - the amygdala (part of the brain that attaches the emotion to the experience) quietens and the prefrontal cortex responsible for self-regulation and empathy, re-engages.

💞 Forgiveness is an energetic act, not a feeling - it’s ‘the energy in motion completed!’

✨ It does not erase the wound; it liberates the nervous system from replaying it.

Forgiveness isn’t forgetting - it’s freeing the body from reliving the pain.

It is a foundation principle of the 60-day journey. A hurdle for many women investing in their Self, Hormones, Emotions. Their SHE. But once they do they understand fully the relevance of SHE COMES FIRST.

I used to think my ministry was just encouragement or exhortation - to inspire people through words.

But I’ve learned that compassion is the foundation of both. It’s what allows me to see people beyond their pain, patterns, performance. Or their fears and fatigue.

To guide them toward restoration, power and true potential.

💞 Compassion is my heart posture - it is difinitely what moves me when I speak on womens intimate health and happiness.

It’s like the of my ministry - everything else is born from it.

🎤 Encouragement is my voice - it’s how my compassion speaks.

That ability to breath hope into what looks hopeless. To articulate faith when one is lost in fear.

It my way to ignite, not just uplift. It’s the cheerleader egging you on.

🔥Exhortation is activation - its the energy, the compassion in motion.

It’s how my words call people higher.

That unmistakable boldness that says: “Get up. You C A N heal. You can do this!”

Literally, the restoration and reawakening that happens through and the CEO Body Advantage.

These are my ways of seeing your pain, speaking real truth into it and stirring you into transformation.

If you are ready to transform your life and save your relationship with self first, the next 60-day journey begins Monday.

You don’t need a New Years Resolution to encourage change - you need to finish 2025 in the best health and happiness ready to take advantage of what 2026 has to offer.
