Confidence - it can be hard to boost your confidence when you feel like you are lacking it. But research shows that increasing confidence is actually a trainable skill.

Pelvic health and training the pelvic floor for performance was something I thought only applied to pregnancy and post-partum women. So when I became pregnant, I went to see not one, but two pelvic floor physios to learn as much as I could about it.

I had some initial symptoms after having my baby- some that disappeared on their own and some that mandated professional help (that have since resolved).

If you're challenging yourself, there's no doubt been moments of wanting to quit- or maybe you actually have quit a time or two. Self-talk in sports is a common thread, but working on your self-talk for anything in your life is key to optimism, resilience, and even equanimity. I like to say "the most powerful voice in
