    “I Hated Sex” - Painful Sex Explained (And How to Heal It) with Emily Abbott

    I wish more women were having conversations like this, especially as someone who struggled with pain with sex for years. In this episode, we go deep into pain with sex and ANY pelvic floor pain, and why so many women are dealing with symptoms they think are “normal” or have been told it’s “their fault”. We talk about: why sex can become painful (and the real reasons behind it)the connection between your emotions and pelvic painendometriosis pain and period cramping - could this also be causing it?why “just doing kegels” isn’t the answer for most women and the tangiable strategies if you’re experiencing symptoms pregnancy + postpartum pelvic floor support (what actually matters and when) We also get into the things that aren’t spoken about enough, the shame, the relationship dynamics, and how much that actually affects your body and your pelvic floor (and it’s way more than you think) This episode is for you if: you’ve ever felt like something is “off”… you’ve felt ashamed that you experience pain with sex, or have any type of pain in your pelvic region. This episode is part tangiable strategy part honest vulnerability but will probably make you feel a lot less alone in your body. 🤝 CONNECT Emily Abbot - Women's Health Physiotherapist Instagram: @emilyjane_unspoken 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    I recommend this to every client. I talk about it on podcasts. I’ve seen it change people’s relationships, their energy, their entire evenings. We’re talking about the decompression walk. A simple, 10-minute shift that acts as a neurological signpost - a transition - between work mode and home mode. So if you find it difficult to unwind after work, you feel guilty for watching a netflix show, or you find yourself mindlessly scrolling on your phone at 11pm to “decompress” this is the episode for you. What We Cover What a decompression walk actually is (and why it works) The neuroscience of switching off (and why your brain struggles to do it)Why you feel “on” all evening, even when you’ve stopped working•How a 10-minute walk can increase your energy (not drain it) The shift from muscluline to feminine and how it changes relationshipsThe easy 3 step options to begin incorperating decompresison walks into your routineAnd if you want to join me - I’m doing a 30 day decompression walk challenge for the month of April (because i’ve completely fallen off the bandwagon for this one (despite me talking about it ALL the time).

    Why Copying Successful People Backfires (And What To Do Instead) with Lily Eid

    What if the reason you're feeling stuck, exhausted, or constantly pushing for results… isn’t because you’re doing something wrong, but because you're trying to succeed using someone else’s blueprint? In this episode of In Her Era, I’m joined by Integrative Career Practitioner, and leadership strategist Lily Eid, who blends psychology, neuroscience, human design and astrology to help leaders understand how they’re actually wired to work, lead and make decisions. Because not everyone is built to operate the same way. In this conversation we explore how understanding your unique design can change the way you work, lead and build success, without forcing yourself into a model that was never meant for you. Because real success doesn’t come from following someone else’s playbook. It comes from understanding your own. 🤝 CONNECT Lily Eid - Founder of Leid by Design: Website Instagram: leidbydesign__Linkedin: /leidbydesign 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS Human Design Chart ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!
