About the podcast
Not another health hack podcast. How We Really Feel examines the interplay between your biology, your psychology and the social experiences that shape your health in rigorously researched and fact-checked conversations with experts and inspirational people navigating health journeys.
​
How We Really Feel is a podcast that explores the fascinating relationship between your mind and body and the ‘psychobiological’ changes that happen when you experience health issues, medical challenges or chronic illness.
Season One
Season One deep dives into bladder and pelvic health experiences, inspired by Dr Sula’s own lived and professional experience of complex bladder issues. From continence challenges, to overactive bladder and pelvic pain. We explore how these deeply personal, often stigamatised health experiences affect self-esteem, relationships and daily life as well as what actually helps people to adjust, improve and thrive. You’ll hear from specialist nurses, pelvic physiotherapists, urologists, dietitians, psychologists and people living with these conditions who share what no one tells you about the emotional journey and the ins and outs of navigating the physical fluctuations.
