37: How To Manage the Complexities of a Prolapse Journey, with Tor Palfrey

DESCRIPTION

In this conversation, you will hear the true and raw emotions that can come with traumatic birth and living with pelvic organ prolapse.

Tor has a way of sharing her story that helps us feel less alone. She's been through many phases of a prolapse journey, including feeling better in time for a second birth than having her prolapse return with fecal incontinence, which lead to surgery. 

We’ve invited Tor to come back and continue this conversation because there is so much more to it. This episode really only scratches the surface and I feel that women who have either lived through this would really want to discover practical ways to be able to come out the other side and be okay.
