What if everything we’ve been told about postpartum recovery in Western culture is fundamentally flawed?

After facing her own health struggles postpartum after her first pregnancy, Emily Montague leaned into her background of living in Hong Kong and her fluency in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The ancient practice of “The Sitting Month” and why dedicated rest transforms postpartum recovery

This is one of my absolute favourite topics—and one that deserves way more open discussion. From the hips to the uterus to the vagina, this beautiful area of the body is often shrouded in shame or taboo. 

I'm joined by Kim Vopni, aka The Vagina Coach, who brings over 15 years of pelvic health expertise. We dig into the reality of pelvic floor dysfunction, why it's not just a “mom problem,” and what can actually help (hint: it’s not just Kegels!)

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why pelvic floor dysfunction affects women of all ages—not just postpartum
• Surprising signs of imbalance, like waking to pee at night, painful sex, or back pain
• How Kim’s “Buff Muff” method makes pelvic floor training part of everyday movement
• The link between footwear and pelvic floor health (yes, your shoes matter!)
• Why pelvic floor therapy should be a regular part of preventative care
