In this episode, we tackle a topic that deserves a heck of a lot more attention than we’re giving it—our pelvic floor. Kim Vopni, the "Vagina Coach," and founder of the “Buff Muff Method” helps us understand what it means to care for your pelvic health through perimenopause and menopause. Kim shares valuable advice on managing common symptoms like painful sex and annoying leaks.
We dive into the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, hormonal changes, and whether those popular biofeedback devices really work. Plus, we both advocate for the benefits of pelvic floor physiotherapy as part of your health routine.
Kim's compassionate guidance offers a reminder that you don’t have to suffer alone or just “suck it up”. Tune in for insights and support, and let us know what you think!

What would it take for you to truly embrace and even get excited about this season of life? In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome back Kate Codrington—author and midlife coach—who always brings such warmth, joy, and wisdom to these conversations.
Together, we talk about the different stages of life as seasons—spring's exploration, summer's energy, autumn's reflection, and winter's rest. Kate and I challenge the idea that menopause is simply about loss and share how we can create gentle, nurturing rhythms to navigate these shifts with more ease.
We’ll also dive into Kate's new Perimenopause Journal, which encourages simple daily self-check-ins, aligning with the seasons to make self-care feel natural and meaningful. This conversation is packed with wisdom, practical tips for self-love, and a fresh perspective on what's possible in midlife!
We’d love to hear your thoughts and questions, so please share them using the button here at the top!

#126 - 3 Reasons Why Intuitive Eating Might Feel Hard with Abbie Attwood
What did you think of this episode? Send me a text message and let me know!
Can you imagine a world where food choices are driven by joy, not fear? Today I’m joined by non-diet, weight-inclusive dietitian Abbie Attwood to explore the three most common roadblocks to intuitive eating. We dive into the "messy middle," that tricky space where you’ve left behind diet culture but haven’t yet found your sweet spot with your eating habits.
These common hiccups include:
➡️ the impact of fear-based nutrition messaging
➡️ the discomfort of navigating a world without food rules and
➡️ managing feedback from those who don’t understand your decision to step away from dieting
Perhaps most importantly, we highlight the critical role of self-compassion in moving past these roadblocks. Whether you’re struggling with emotional triggers around food or looking for simple ways to make food decisions, this episode will help you move closer to food freedom and body acceptance.
