And then postpartum, you should do recovery. You should do You know, retraining, re-strengthening, reconnecting to your pelvic floor and core because it's been through 10 months of change and then birth, sometimes which required a surgery. So it's definitely a time I think women need to be proactive. And we also see a lot of issues arise postpartum.

And I really encourage women to get them addressed, whether it's, you know, you gave birth three months ago or three years ago. It's never too late. I would definitely get help for the issues or read the book and kind of get started because there's a lot that you can do and it doesn't get better as we age.

Yeah, people with vaginas.

Yeah, people with vaginas.

No, but really, you know, I think that when people like even, you know, my mom's in her 70s and she's like, well, I don't know if I need this book because I'm in my 70s. I'm going, well, you're at a risk of leaking urine. You could end up in a nursing home. You pee every 30 minutes when I'm with you. Like, yeah, you definitely need this book.

Or it may be a young woman in her 20s that has pain with sex. And she's like, well, I don't I'm not pregnant, but and I don't leak. And I'm like, yeah, but you might have pain or you're sexually active. What I really think that I tell everybody is read the first chapter and the last chapter. Those are my two favorites. I just did the audio book recording and reread the whole book.

And those two chapters, I think, really sum up what's important, what's kind of total BS, because there's a lot of like wellness industry stuff for the vulva and vagina, why we need this. And then you can kind of cherry pick which chapters you like. Like if I have a peeing problem, then I'm like, okay, read the bladder chapter. If I'm pregnant, read the bladder chapter.

then read the pregnancy and birth and postpartum chapters. If I'm perimenopausal, read the menopause chapter, you know? So kind of go to what you need it for, but you're going to go through every stage of life as a woman and you may be pregnant and postpartum and then a couple of years later be perimenopausal, you know, or start having pain with sex and then you need to read the sex chapter.

So,

I think actually when people read it, what I do is I tell you what's normal, how often should you be peeing, what should sex feel like, how do orgasms work, how to insert a tampon. I mean like everything from the basics of your body to how should you be peeing and pooping and lifting and breathing so that you don't cause an issue.

And then if you are experiencing an issue, what can you do at home to start helping with it? Like you can start these things right now. And you and I talk a lot about like, hey, it's just 10 minutes a couple of times a week. And I know some people are like, oh my gosh, I can't put another thing on my plate. But these are really small changes you can make.

But these are really small changes you can make.

Literally like just changing how you sit when you poop or changing how you breathe when you lift or how to relax your muscles to pee. And all of those small changes add up to make a very big difference with your body. And so they're not big life overhauls I'm asking you to make. It's really small changes, but you have to be consistent with them and it can go a really long way for you.
