CEO's DON'T HAVE TIME TO PEE THEIR PANTS

 


Hey #bossmama! 

Did you know?

Sitting for prolonged periods of time can be bad for your pelvic floor muscles?  While symptoms like leaking when you cough, jump, or sneeze may be common, they are not normal.  It's a completely fixable symptom. 
NO ONE should have to deal with the mental and physical stress of pelvic floor dysfunction.  
Here are a few reasons why:

1. PRESSURE: When you sit down, you put pressure on your pelvic floor muscles. If you sit for a long time, this pressure can cause your muscles to become fatigued and weak.

2. POOR POSTURE: Poor posture can also put unnecessary pressure on your pelvic floor muscles. For example, if you slouch while sitting, your pelvic floor muscles may have to work harder to maintain your posture.

3. REDUCED BLOOD FLOW: When you sit for a long time, your blood flow decreases. This reduced blood flow can cause your pelvic floor muscles to become weak and less flexible.

4. URINARY INCONTINENCE: Prolonged sitting can increase the risk of urinary incontinence, which is the loss of bladder control. This is because sitting puts pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, which can weaken them and lead to urine leakage.

5. BOWEL ISSUES: Sitting for too long can also cause bowel issues, such as constipation, hemorrhoids, or rectal prolapse. This is because sitting puts pressure on the rectum, which can affect bowel movements.

To minimize the negative effects of sitting on your pelvic floor, it is recommended to take frequent breaks and move around throughout the day, practice good posture, and perform pelvic floor exercises to strengthen and maintain the health of your pelvic floor muscles.
  

Now you can get back to tackling the #genderpaygap with confidence.  We've got a lot of work to do!

5 Ways to Physically Prepare Yourself for Pregnancy

If you've made the decision to embark on the journey of pregnancy, you probably have a million questions and concerns running through your head as you move into this phase of planning and trying. And as a busy, parent-to-be who values fitness and well-being, you may be wondering about how this is all going to affect and change you body.  I know for me, personally, it was the reason I got into this work.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Life Hacks: Simplifying Nutrition, Movement, and Mental Health

Being a busy career professional and mom during pregnancy and postpartum can be overwhelming. We have been conditioned by society to think we “can have it all”.  I’m not here to burst your bubble but I often find that “having it all” means that our personal health and wellness tends to suffer.  To the world, we look like we are all put together but secretly suffering inside.  Juggling multiple responsibilities often leaves little time for self-care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I don’t have a magic fix for you, but I do have a few #lifehacks that my clients and I have picked up along the way. To simply sum it up, it’s all about simplifying your daily routine and reducing stress (note the bold highlight on that one).  Let’s start with one of my favs… NUTRITION Nutrition Tip #1: Plan 5 meals I know what you are thinking, “Joanie, please don’t tell me I have to make a meal plan.”  I’m sorry to say it, but streamlining your grocery shopping and meal prep by ...
