Pelvic health is one of the most important — and most misunderstood — aspects of women’s wellness. Whether you’ve experienced pelvic organ prolapse, pain with intercourse, bladder urgency, or mysterious pelvic discomfort, you are far from alone. And if you’re in perimenopause or menopause, hormonal shifts can make these symptoms even more noticeable.

In this episode, Michelle sits down with Dr. Stefanie Long, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Concept Pelvic Health in Keller, Texas, for a deeply informative, judgment-free conversation about what’s really going on in your pelvic floor.

Together, they break down:

• What prolapse actually is — and common myths women should stop believing

• The difference between interstitial cystitis and recurrent UTIs

• How stress, posture, clenching, rushing, and multitasking impact pelvic and nervous system function

• How declining estrogen affects tissue integrity, lubrication, and bladder/bowel symptoms

• Practical strategies that can support healing

• Why pelvic health care should be preventative and empowering — not scary or shame-based

If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are “normal,” or you’re looking for gentle, actionable steps to support your pelvic health at any age, this episode is for you.
