In this episode, we get wordy with how floored we are about compliments and the state of South Carolina and crazy SMUTT books - AND then cover all things athletic for pelvic floor relation. We cover what symptoms to look for and how to care for your pelvic floor if you are an endurance athlete, runner, golfer, cyclist, pickleballer, etc.

We would love to hear from you listening: your thoughts, stories, questions, intrusive thoughts, anything!

In today's episode, we cover pain with intercourse. There is a Louis Armstrong impression, a lot of vigorous activity, and sex candles. We recognize that research is limited for our PFFs that are LGBTQ+ and how we grew up in classic southern avoidance of anything that has to do with genitals. Lastly, we talk about referrals, resources, and what FLOORS us this week!
