There’s a point for many women where the things that used to work just… don’t feel quite the same anymore.
Recovery can change.
Sleep can change.
Your cycle can change.
Muscle and strength become increasingly important.
Your pelvic floor might suddenly make itself known. 😅
Energy, appetite, body composition and how you feel in your own skin can all shift too.
And the answer isn’t to panic and start doing MORE of everything.
More cardio.
Less food.
Harder workouts.
Another restrictive diet.
This stage of life deserves a better strategy.
Strength training.
Enough protein and nourishing food.
Walking and everyday movement.
Pelvic floor and core awareness.
Sleep and recovery.
And perhaps most importantly, actually understanding what’s happening in your body.
That’s a conversation I want us to have much more of around here.
Because women deserve good information about their bodies before they’re standing there wondering what the hell happened. 😂🤍

THINGS I WISH EVERY WOMAN KNEW ABOUT HER BODY
Your pelvic floor has to manage pressure, not avoid it.
Every time you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift a heavy shopping bag, pick up a child, squat, run or jump, pressure changes inside your abdomen.
That’s normal.
Pressure isn’t the enemy.
Your body was designed to manage it.
Your diaphragm, deep core and pelvic floor work together to respond to the demands you’re placing on your body.
And this is one of the reasons strength training can be so valuable for women.
Rather than avoiding load because we’re worried about our pelvic floor, we can learn how to manage it.
We can practise breathing through movement.
We can learn when to gently connect our pelvic floor and core.
We can gradually increase resistance.
We can build strength, awareness and confidence.
So that picking up something heavy in real life doesn’t feel like an event your body isn’t prepared for. 😆
Of course, if you’re experiencing leaking, heaviness, pain or other pelvic floor symptoms, that’s worth getting individually assessed.
But the goal isn’t to create a body that never experiences pressure.
The goal is to build a body that’s better equipped to respond to it.
That’s a very different way of thinking about pelvic floor strength. 🤍

Your posture isn’t just about “standing up straight.”
I’ve been here on holidays people watching 😆 and one thing I keep noticing is posture.
Rounded shoulders.
Heads forward.
Bodies folded over phones.
Hips tucked underneath us.
And before we all immediately sit bolt upright 😂 this isn’t about having “perfect posture.”
Our bodies are designed to move through lots of different positions.
The issue is when we spend hours and hours in the SAME ones.
Your body adapts to what you repeatedly ask of it.
And over time, that can influence how freely your shoulders and spine move, how you breathe, how your core manages pressure and even how connected you feel to your pelvic floor.
The answer isn’t to walk around rigidly holding your shoulders back and sucking your stomach in.
It’s movement.
Change positions.
Get up and walk.
Open your chest.
Move your spine.
Strengthen your back.
Breathe deeply.
Build strength through a good range of movement.
Your best posture isn’t one perfect position.
It’s your next position.
Now excuse me while I stop analysing everyone’s posture and get back to my holiday 😂☀️

Your pelvic floor needs to let go, not just hold on.
For years, pelvic floor advice for women seemed to be:
“Squeeze.”
“Hold.”
“Do your Kegels.”
But a healthy pelvic floor isn’t just about how well you can squeeze it.
It also needs to be able to relax.
Your pelvic floor works with your breath, deep core and the pressure inside your abdomen. It responds as you breathe, move, lift, cough, laugh and exercise.
So constantly gripping harder isn’t necessarily better.
One of the first things I teach is actually really gentle:
Inhale and allow your belly and pelvic floor to soften.
Exhale and feel a gentle pelvic floor lift, around 5%.
Then let it go again.
Relax. Connect. Lift. Release.
We’re building awareness and control, not trying to clench our way through the day 😅
Because pelvic floor strength isn’t just about holding on.
It’s also knowing when to let go.
And THAT is something I wish more women were taught. 🤍

It’s one of the best investments you can make in your future.
When we talk about building muscle, many women still think,
“I don’t want to get bulky.”
But muscle does so much more than help you lift heavier weights.
It supports healthy bones.
It helps you stay independent as you age.
It improves balance and stability.
It helps regulate blood sugar.
It supports your metabolism.
It makes everyday life easier.
Carrying shopping.
Lifting grandchildren.
Getting up off the floor.
Walking up hills.
Strength isn’t about looking a certain way.
It’s about creating a body that supports the life you want to live.
Your future self will thank you for every bit of strength you build today.
