This episode is about stress and urinary incontinence. I’ve gathered a panel of experts to share their expertise on the topic. If you wee yourself when you cough, or if you have to wee 50 times an hour, then this episode is for you.

I am joined by:

Andrea Clarke somatic bodyworker, womb-energy medicine and holistic pelvic care practitioner, and Female Embodiment Coach
