I mean, not to generalize, my husband, he wants a solution. And if he can't find one, he wants to keep searching for one. And so I see a lot of men doing that to support their partners. But it's a woman's guide. And I think one of the things I want women to understand by reading the book is that, one, these muscles exist. And there are things you can do to prevent issues.

I think we live in a healthcare system where we're always doing damage control. We're like addressing problems afterwards where I'm like, there's a lot you can do to prevent issues, whether it's you're becoming sexually active, you're pregnant, you're recovering from a baby, you're heading into perimenopause, at every stage in life, your pelvic floor requires different things.

And I want to give you the tips and tools to take care of it. And then also, if you are experiencing a problem, there's resources in the book to help you. Like, what are the exercises to start with? How do you massage? How do you know if you're doing a Kegel correctly? How should you be sitting if you have pain? If you have pain with sex, what are different positions to try?

You know, just so many things that over the years I've been practicing, this is the daily things that I tell my patients. And yet not everybody can come see Sarah. Not everybody can see a pelvic floor therapist. So how do we get this information into women's hands in a very easy, accessible, and affordable way?

The second part of this is I really want us to change the experience of the next generation. I have two kids. I have so many friends who have daughters and children, and they're like, I don't know how to teach my daughter how to use a tampon, or I don't know how to talk to her about sex or like, how should I teach my kid about how to poop properly because he's constipated.

And so if we can, we know better than I think we can teach the next generation better as parents and really help them have a different experience. And I think my generation or even my mom's generation had with respect to pelvic floor healthcare.

Yes. And I will say right now, it may be the last, hopefully not, but it's a huge endeavor. I mean, it's a two-year process. And I mean, I had a research assistant. I mean, we dove into the research. I looked up my old cases from over the years to have really rich patient stories. I used kind of all my old techniques and tools. I mean, everything.

I mean, there was so much in this book that I wanted to put out there. And I could have written a book just about pregnancy or just about menopause. I was like, we need to start just from the basics. People don't even understand the basics of this part of their body. So it was a two-year process. But the really cool thing is the way that I got the book deal was it was a follower on social media.

And she worked for HarperCollins Publishing Company. And she said, I think that what you're saying is really important. And would you ever consider writing a book? And I was like, I'm going to have to think about that. I'm really busy. But I owned a physical therapy clinic in New Orleans at the time. And I was building up my online exercise platform. And I was like, I just don't have the capacity.

So I ended up selling my clinic. And the day after I sold my clinic, I signed the book contract. And so I had to make some shifts in my personal and professional life to take on this endeavor. And I still work for the clinic. I sold it to the two women who were my employees at the time. And now I work for them.
