We’re all about living our best life and lovin’ it—but wetting our pants? No thank you! So NextTribe recently teamed up with Poise for an informative Facebook Live with Dr. Jessica Shepherd, an ob-gyn and Poise spokesperson, and Cindy Present, director of fitness and activities at Lake Austin Spa in Austin, TX, to talk about what causes this problem and how to solve it.

Next Tribe’s co-founder and editor-in-chief Jeannie Ralston led the discussion and talked about how it was high time that we could discuss these issues without embarrassment. "A film about women's periods just won an Oscar so I think we can talk about this in public finally," she said. With one in three women experiencing light bladder leakage (LBL), it happens to many more women than just those who’ve had six kids or been riding horses all their life. “It can begin in your 20s,” says Shepherd, “but gets more common as you age, in your 40s and 50s. Our bodies are wonderfully and beautifully made, but we do change.”
