Breaking the Silence: Conquering Bladder Leaks Naturally - Dr. Nigel Brayer
Ple^sure Principles
03/13/25 • 26 min
Are you planning your outings around bathroom locations? Do you avoid certain activities for fear of leakage? You're not alone—but you don't have to accept bladder issues as your new normal.
In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Nigel Brayer, developer of the Ironclad Bladder system, dismantles the pervasive myth that urinary incontinence is simply the price women pay for childbirth or aging. With clarity and compassion, he reveals why distinguishing between what's "common" and what's "normal" can transform your approach to bladder health.
The discussion ventures beyond the standard advice about pelvic floor exercises to explore the fascinating neurological component behind bladder control. Dr. Brayer explains that while Kegels might strengthen the 30% of your sphincter under conscious control, the remaining 70% depends on your autonomic nervous system—the delicate balance between stress response and relaxation that most modern women struggle to maintain.
Through relatable analogies and straightforward explanations, you'll understand how chronic stress creates a perpetually clenched system that eventually loses its ability to function properly. More importantly, you'll discover practical, non-invasive techniques to reset this system, beginning with simple daily mindfulness practices that can gradually restore normal function.
What makes this episode particularly powerful is Dr. Brayer's insight into the profound shame many women feel about incontinence. By connecting this shame to our earliest childhood achievements and self-worth, he offers a path to addressing the emotional burden alongside the physical symptoms.
Whether you're experiencing occasional leaks or frequent urgency, this conversation provides hope through understanding. Dr. Brayer's approach honors the body's innate wisdom and healing capacity while acknowledging when more intensive inter

What happens when your life changes in an instant? For Holly Frances
, that moment came just three weeks after giving birth when a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barré Syndrome left her completely paralyzed and fighting for her life on a ventilator.
Her story begins with what seemed like ordinary postpartum fatigue and strange tingling sensations. Within 72 hours, those mild symptoms had cascaded into full-body paralysis that left her unable to breathe, speak, or hold her newborn daughter. For months, Holly lay in the ICU, confronting the unimaginable reality that she might never return to her life or experience motherhood as she'd imagined.
Holly takes us through the excruciating process of recovery - learning to breathe without mechanical support when she couldn't manage even 30 seconds independently, rebuilding strength through grueling physical therapy, and finding courage in the smallest victories. The profound wisdom she shares comes from someone who has truly faced mortality and emerged with extraordinary clarity: "This pain is temporary" and "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at day's end saying I will try again tomorrow."
What makes Holly's journey so powerful is how she transformed her darkest experience into a beacon for others. After sharing videos of her hospital journey that went viral, she published a book and became an advocate for GBS awareness and recovery. Her story demonstrates how gratitude can emerge from trauma, showing us that even in our most broken moments, we hold the capacity to heal and find meaning beyond our suffering.
Whether you're facing health challenges, personal struggles, or simply need a reminder of human resilience, Holly's journey will shift your perspective on what's possible when we refuse to give up, even on the days when courage comes as just a whisper. Subscribe, leave a revie
