My page is focused on sharing all things related to Health & Wellness. It's focused on Connection, Optimization, Reflection, and Empowerment. N.E.W.
Heard a great quote today from Jesse Itzler:
“If you have health, you have hope, if you have hope you have everything— stay healthy”
If you struggle with health put a comment below what you biggest barriers are.
I think one of the most painfully embarrassing moments in life is the first time you experience that slip in your bladder control and you leak out. To be real, no one notices. However, in our minds, it sends us spiraling straight back to grade school where everyone made fun of the kid who accidentally peed their pants.
The first bladder incident was when my kids had invited me to jump with them on a trampoline. I couldn’t resist. By the time I took that second jump, I realized my bladder had taken a hiatus and was no longer in control. Needless to say, after that experience, trampoline parks are a mommy no go.
So why am I sharing all this “TMI” information with you? Because it’s not talked about. Women tend to just see it as a side effect of having kids, sometimes people think it’s age, or maybe they just drink too much coffee.
What we dismiss as just a part of life, could be Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD). It's one of the most common yet least discussed health issues in the world. It’s often called the “silent epidemic” because while it affects millions of people, the social stigma writes it off as normal. Over 50% of people with symptoms do not seek treatment, often due to embarrassment or thinking it’s untreatable.
A “weak bladder” usually isn’t just the bladder — it’s often a mix of:
-Pelvic floor muscles
-Bladder muscle behavior
-Nerve signals
-Hormones
-Lifestyle factors (hydration, diet, and stress management)
This is common, but should not be normalized. If you do have a weak bladder, please consider talking to your doctor about it. There are also other reasons you could be experiencing a weakened bladder, and they can make sure that you are diagnosed properly and are able to treat it.
Every 1 out of 3 women and 1 out of 6 men ti**le unexpectedly. You’re definitely not alone. Telling your doctor can improve your Core Wellness. You can eliminate the extra worry weighing you down about needing to use the bathroom a little too often.
Imagine being able to be at work, hang out with friends, go on vacations, and all other things you enjoy without having the stress of shifting your entire plans around your bathroom breaks.
It’s time to tell your bladder, potty time is over. Your body has carried you through so much, and it deserves to be heard, not ignored. If you’ve been putting yourself last, make today the day you prioritize your own healing. Remember, you are fearfully and wonderfully made—even the parts we’re too embarrassed to talk about.
Break the silence now, leave a comment, or a GIF if you found this relatable. If you’re up for sharing your story, I’d love to hear how your bladder has been controlling you, and what it would feel like to regain your control over your bladder again?

My opinion for school this is a MUST! Just like sick days these should be built in. It’s important for kids who need help regulating emotions especially in more vulnerable years. The push for attendance in schools is taking away from children’s health both physical and mental.
As a mom of 6, I’ve never hesitated to let my kids stay home if they had something the day before that happened at school and they needed a day to process. This means truancy letters and afterschool days to make it up, but forcing my kids into an emotional elevated situation over school funding is not okay for me.
On a work level- it would depend on employer. A minimum of off days should be allowed for sickness and PTO. PTO should not have to be scheduled so that if someone needs a mental health day they can choose between sick day or PTO. But also know some companies don’t offer a lot of time off. So in that case I do think it would be beneficial to add it in.
A lot of men tend to think they’re not allowed to feel because they’ve always been told, stop crying, suck it up, you’re a man. Men don’t cry. There’s no wonder that men account for nearly 80% of suicides (according to NIMH).
As a society we need to normalize mental health. If you go to the doctor with a broken leg everyone can see the injury. But mentally not so much. And when we are told we are weak for communicating our emotions it makes it a taboo conversation.
Just as if we see something, we should say something at school or work regarding something suspicious; we should be saying something when we see someone who seems to be having a hard day— rather that be at school or work.
What’s your take? Yay or Nay? Why or why not?
