The most embarrassing thing ever…
One day nearly 3 years ago, I woke up and really felt like a run. I was desperate to get outside and feel the freedom of my legs on the path around the park, and the wind in my hair.
It had been quite a while since my last run and I thought maybe I should take it slow, but the gung-ho part of me wanted to just DO it!
So I went out, broke into a run and then the most embarrassing thing ever happened…
I totally wet my pants….
I’m not talking a bit of a leak, but fully toddler-style saturated my pants, socks, shoes.
Luckily I was wearing black tights, and no one was around but the trees so I was not soo hideously embarrassed, so I grabbed a breastfeeding pad, shoved it in my underpants and kept going.
You see I was about 10 weeks post-partum, my little baby was home with my husband and I had cabin fever!!! I decided to jfdi.
Now, nearly three years later I’m 15 weeks post-partum of my second birth and I have just done a few short jogs on the treadmill at the gym, and am pleased to report that I have dry pants, hooray!
No accidents. My toddler would be proud of me.

Getting the right help, helps.
This time I was much more sensible, instead of just waiting the minimum recommended time before exercising, and JFDI I booked in to see a physio who specializes in post pregnancy rehab.
So I have done the somewhat surreal pelvic floor squeezes with her giving me direct feedback on what and when to squeeze and let go. ( if you know what I mean)
After completing the pelvic floor exercises I have made remarkable improvement in my pelvic floor strength and endurance, and even reduced slightly the impact of my (ahem) bladder prolapse, an unfortunate after-effect of my sons super fast final stage of birth.
She has given me the ok for short jogs as long as I continue with my pelvic floor exercises and as long as I walk immediately when I feel my pelvic floor get fatigued.
Why am I telling you this?
I am not a fan of indiscriminate over-sharing but I know that if this is happening for me, when I’m fit and healthy, it’s probably happening for you too.
If you are suffering with sneeze-incontinence or belly weakness and separated abdominals post birth, go see a physio!! Get help and in many cases you can reduce or eliminate symptoms like I have.
Your body needs rehabilitation. Pregnancy is a marathon, birth is another marathon. Nobody would expect anyone to go through multiple marathons without help and rehab after, especially when you have injuries from it.
Your body is a miracle, give it a bit of support.
Your body is a miracle, and a lot does just happen naturally to heal over time. AND there’s a lot you can do to help yourself get back to a healthy functioning abdominal & pelvic floor so you can exercise, and cough, and run after your kids without worry.
Now I’m back to training, watch out for my next post in progress on getting my best body ever post 2 kids. Getting a Dexa Scan in a couple of weeks to kick it all off… Yay.
Tell me? Are you still suffering from your pregnancy & birth?
Are you not exercising to the intensity that you want, because you’re afraid you’ll wet your pants?
Tell me!! You’re not alone. Let’s break the taboo and get you and the other mumma’s some help.
“We couldn’t recommend Kylie highly enough.”
“Having ongoing training is essential for our team and our business. It’s important to look after the people that look after others. Kylie has the experience, professionalism and knowledge to engage with our team and help them understand about human behaviour and why people do what they do. In the wellness and health industry it’s a different sales and service delivery and it’s imperative to keep on top of these understandings to perform at our best to help others. We couldn’t recommend Kylie high enough.”
- Amanda Bracks - Owner Soulful Fitness (2019 Fitness Australia Boutique of the Year)
“She’s the best speaker they’ve ever seen.”
“I have worked with Kylie over many years. She has helped me as a Business Mindset Coach, as a motivational speaker for my gym clients at both Vision Personal Training & now at Flow Athletic. I bring her in to train my Personal Training teams in mindset, communication and how to coach our clients better and excel in our own personal mastery as fitness leaders. At my recent Fitness Business event, my gym owner colleagues were blown away by her talk, saying she is the best speaker they have ever seen. After every event we always get rave reviews about her talks and training. I highly recommend Kylie’s work as a coach & speaker.”
- Ben Lucas - Founder & CEO, Flow Athletic
“So many things are just falling into my lap.”
“I finished the Spiritual Awakening Course yesterday and I found it truly amazing. An incredible next step after our coach training. I feel so much more enlightened and “opened-up”. It has really opened my eyes to the power of the universe and the energy flowing in each of us. I loved it – thank you.
I am feeling so lucky at the moment. So many things are just falling into my lap. I visualise it and set my intention to manifest it and it comes. Things such as getting more clients, needing help to put my business online, not knowing how to get known in my local community etc. Courses / insights / clients have just fallen into my lap at the right time.”
Of course I am still learning and growing, but the course has really helped. Thank you”
- Katharine Williams - NLP Coach, Limitless Growth
“I have never been this happy or powerful.”
“Before I signed up with Kylie I had a busy PT business… I was exhausted and on the brink of burnout and no matter how hard I tried, I had reached a ceiling in my income that I just couldn’t break through. After completing my NLP Coaching certification, I found my true voice and the energy of my business has been completely transformed. I’ve created an online program, up-levelled my entire business and totally smashed my previous income goals. I make decisions more confidently and I can help my clients create change in their life even faster. On a personal level, NLP gave me the inner strength to leave a toxic situation and rebuild myself which lead to me discovering the love of my life! Today I am living the life that I’ve always wanted – but just hadn’t been able to put into words. I have never been this happy or this powerful. If you want to manifest the life of your dreams I would not hesitate to reach out for help from Kylie.”
- Danni Vee - Women's Health Coach, My Fit Tribe
“I’ve noticed big improvements in my finances and client retention”
I signed up with Kylie because I knew that to have a bigger effect as a PT I needed to improve my understanding of how the mind works. Through NLP Coach training I now have great coaching techniques that break through all sorts of negative behaviour patterns. I’ve noticed big improvements in all areas of my life including my own personal finances and my client retention. This has allowed me new freedom to work on scaling my business and helping even more people with less one on one time from myself. The coach training has given me the ability to fully unlock the power of your mindset and those that don’t have this skill are only tapping into a small amount of their potential.
- Blake Worrall-Thompson, Performance Coach & PT
“Magick happens every time!”
This morning I had a kick-ass coaching session with Kylie Ryan. We’ve been working together for a couple of months, and she’s the perfect person to help me integrate the rapid transformations I go through regularly. I’d been getting this vision of my fully mature creative and entrepreneurial self. His discipline, commitment, and command of wealth was 10x what mine is now, but it wasn’t really about money for him. Our coaching sessions usually roll with me saying, “Kylie, I want to be, do, and have EVERYTHING” and Kylie helping me find the archetypes and parts that aren’t integrated and bringing them together. MAGICK HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
