This week Lauren & Nicole are going on a silent retreat …Shhhhhhhh!

Silent retreats are immersive experiences where participants engage in prolonged periods of silence. They are designed to promote introspection, mindfulness, and a deeper connection with oneself, often incorporating practices like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and nature walks. The absence of verbal communication allows people to detach from the distractions of daily life, creating a greater sense of peace and clarity.

To help us this week we enlisted Jo Kaye who is a Mindfulness Coach and Trainer. She hosted the retreat and joins us on the show to unpack the experience with us. 

In this episode they discuss:

• Why we are so uncomfortable without distractions
• What happens when we tune into ourselves
• The power of slowing down
• How mindfulness supports our wellbeing. 
•

Shifting levels of hormones during the transition into menopause cause changes in a woman’s body which can affect the vagina, vulva and bowels. Studies have shown that approximately 50% of post-menopausal women experience vaginal dryness - yet only 25% seek treatment and women with incontinence issues will wait for 6 years before they seek help.  

Despite the high number of women experiencing problems, many feel too embarrassed to talk to their partners, friends and even health care professionals. But today that is exactly what we are going to do by talking to consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician Elaine Palmer and consultant colorectal surgeon Sarah Mills.

In this episode they discuss: 

• Urinary incontinence and what to do about it 
• How to properly look after your vulva
• How to talk to a doctor about bottom issues
• Taking care of your pelvic floor 

If you have been experiencing symptoms that are impacting on your quality of life and have been feeling embarrassed about asking a doctor about them then this show is a must listen.
