Standing up to bullies can be done in a lot of different ways depending on who the bully is and what they are doing. To celebrate this final week of activism against violence, harassment and abuse, culminating in Human Rights day this Saturday, we’re taking a fresh look at what can you do to deal with bullying and harassment no matter what form it comes in and who it comes from! Here are our tips.
Harassment and abuse and the effects on our health
It’s another significant week this week campaigning for stopping violence against women! Calling out any bias, discrimination, violence, harassment and abuse and the effects on our health can be significant. It’s important to get an awareness and grasp how these can affect us or others we know and look to ways of always moving ahead and forward in every aspect of our lives……and that includes our pelvic floor and sexual health.
Mental Health – Time for a Check
We’re celebrating World Mental Health day this week. It’s always good to have a fresh reminder and do a retake on what’s important for our mental health and well-being. We take a look at some strong yet simple strategies to put in place to help us deal with life; with all it’s goodness and challenges!
How Malala made girls a force to be reckoned with!
Looking for stories about inspirational women? Look no further than Malala! Shot in the face as a teen, a Nobel Prize winner, Malala is a true leader.

Sports stars and bladder leakage
A former elite athlete and corporate lawyer, Kimberley Smith was used to functioning at her peak. Kimberley was an elite athlete from the age of 18, attending the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra straight out of high school. She played netball at the elite level for over 10 years, representing the NSW Swifts and was a member of the Australia Diamonds Squad. Here’s her story that introduces the real experience that can happen with sports stars and bladder leakage.
Getting active? But what if I leak when I exercise?
The ‘This Girl Can Campaign’ celebrates women who are all kinds of active for this week and beyond! All kinds of active should be celebrated! Whether it’s a little or a lot, whether you’re an athlete or a novice, it’s great to have a ‘can’ mentality or state of mind when getting some movement in your day. Getting and keeping active doesn’t have to be a chore! We take a fresh look at the key benefits of exercise and help further break down those walls that stop a lot of us from still getting active…..and for some of us, that might be leaking when we exercise!
