#136: Stress Incontinence in Motherhood: A Noninvasive Solution for Bladder Leaks with Lauren Barker

If you’ve ever leaked urine while sneezing, laughing, running, or jumping postpartum, this episode is for you. Brooke sits down with Lauren Barker from Uresta to discuss stress incontinence, why it happens after pregnancy and birth, and how women can find support without immediately jumping to surgery or invasive treatments. They break down how the Uresta device works, the clinical research behind it, and why pelvic floor therapy still plays an important role in long-term healing. This conversation is empowering, practical, and an important reminder that bladder leaks may be common in motherhood—but they are not something you simply have to live with forever.
