Trainer and Coach, Joy Black, is back on the podcast to debunk some commonly held myths about the pelvic floor, and enlightens us with essentially incontinence knowledge.

Joy specialises in working with climbers through pregnancy and postpartum, from elite athletes to every day climb mamas. It's a job title that gets a lot of deer in the head lights reactions, but Joy's passion for working with women is infectious, and invaluable for our community of mothers.

At the end of 2023 Joy fell from the top of a boulder and blew out her ACL, and possibly a few climbing plans along the way. Our conversation happened 11 weeks post surgery, and Joy shares how she has navigated the journey through injury and recovery both physically and mentally. Huge thanks to our sponsors for supporting this episode and series 5 of the podcast Urban Climb and Climbing Anchors
