Episode Summary

Do you leak when you sneeze, cough, laugh, jump, or run?
Do you feel like your pelvic floor is “weak,” “broken,” or “not what it used to be”?

You are so not alone. And you’re also not stuck.

In this incredibly eye-opening conversation, Shaela sits down with Jen Lormand, co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler, to talk about the REAL reason Kegels aren’t working for most Christian women—and what’s actually happening inside your core and pelvic floor.

This is not the typical “just do more Kegels” advice.
This is dignity.
This is science.
This is hope.

And best of all, this is support for Christian women who want to feel strong and confident again—in their health, their movement, and their motherhood.

• Why so many women STILL leak even if they’ve done Kegels for years

• The surprising truth about pelvic floor dysfunction
