  • Pelvic Health Clinical Specialist and absolutely delightful human, Emily Elgar, is back on the podcast.

    Our conversation explores why creating a space for women's health, and more specifically pelvic health, is so important and needed.

    Emily also shares her struggles with burnout as a healthcare worker. We discuss the importance of knowing the tell tale warning signs of overwhelm, why doing more doesn't equal more, and the strategies Emily uses when her tank runs empty.

  • Trainer and Coach, Joy Black, is back on the podcast to debunk some commonly held myths about the pelvic floor, and enlightens us with essentially incontinence knowledge.

    Joy specialises in working with climbers through pregnancy and postpartum, from elite athletes to every day climb mamas. It's a job title that gets a lot of deer in the head lights reactions, but Joy's passion for working with women is infectious, and invaluable for our community of mothers.

    At the end of 2023 Joy fell from the top of a boulder and blew out her ACL, and possibly a few climbing plans along the way. Our conversation happened 11 weeks post surgery, and Joy shares how she has navigated the journey through injury and recovery both physically and mentally.

  • We kick off series 4 of the podcast with the ever so wonderful Leah Crane. Climber, coach, and mum to one incredibly endearing bubba. Leah has spent most of her life climbing and competing. She won multiple British Bouldering Championships, and was a honed competitor on the World Cup circuit before stepping into the role of coach.
