57 分钟Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.
It is always such an honor to be able to spend some time with you.
And if you're brand new to the Mel Robbins Podcast, welcome to the family.
I'm Mel Robbins.
I'm on a mission to inspire and empower you with the tools and the expert resources that you deserve and that are going to help you create a better life.
And, you know, one of the things that you and I haven't talked about yet is something that I really struggled with early in life, and that is I had a leaky bladder.
Now, I never envisioned a life where I would be having problems with my bladder, but it all started in my 20s, after our first child was born.
And it was literally like, as soon as the birth was over, I almost immediately started having problems with leaking.
I mean, first it happened when I would sneeze, and then it became kind of a more consistent problem, because at the time in my life, I was also doing a lot of running.
And then it turned into an overactive bladder, and I just kind of kept thinking, okay, it's going to go away.
It's going to go away.
And then I started rationalizing it, thinking, or, this is something that I'm just going to have to live with.
I can live with this.
But over the years, it just got worse and worse.
And it turns out that bladder issues are extraordinarily common for both women and men.
In fact, 40% of the women that you know will have issues with their bladder.
And so today, you and I are going to have a conversation that every single person in your life needs to hear.
Because if you've ever had a problem with constipation, with UTIs, with dribbling, my message to you is that you do not need to suffer in silence for decades like I did.
You do not need to feel ashamed of what's going on.
You're going to learn that all these things, UTIs, bladder issues, constipation, all kinds of stuff going on down there.
