In this deeply honest and empowering episode of Hope for Your Pelvic Floor, Claire Sparrow explores a message that challenges the fear-based narrative so many women face: “Prolapse isn’t dangerous—the way we talk about it is.”

Claire shares her personal journey and the stories of women she's worked with to shine a light on the often-overlooked emotional and neurological impact of a prolapse diagnosis. You’ll learn how fear—not the prolapse itself—can trigger physical tension, shallow breathing, and loss of trust in your body. And you’ll discover simple, science-informed ways to reclaim your power and return to movement with confidence.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or years into your pelvic health journey, this episode offers validation, clarity, and a whole-body approach to support your healing—starting with your breath.
