Ep 26 Pelvic Floor Health With Monika Eddings

Empowered Birth, Love, and Life

I had such a blast with this episode! I truly wanted to be candid and open and talk to her as if we were talking to our girlfriends about this topic! As women we are brought up to have so much shame around our vaginas and everything "down there". Even pooping is seen as a negative thing from when we are little. Monika has such a beautiful welcoming, warm, engaging, and safe energy to discuss these topics with. I definitely laughed the most with this episode and I hope you do too!
