273 | Stop the Leak, Midlife Beauty Talk, and MORE!

It’s springtime, the sun is out, and the "BFFs" are back for a conversation that is as refreshing as the season. In this episode, Heather Pettey, CPC, and Dr. Carol Lynn dive into the "beauty treatments" of midlife—from the glamorous style of Mad Men to the practical (and often unspoken) medical solutions for bladder health.

Whether you’re curious about the "tampon trick" for exercise-induced leaking, wondering about the recovery time for a bladder sling, or just looking for a bargain on a new layered necklace set, this episode covers it all. Heather and Carol Lynn remind us that thriving in midlife means taking care of ourselves from the inside out—and maybe doing it in a very cute wide-leg jogger set.

 In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Pop Culture Pursuits: Why Dr. Carol Lynn is officially obsessed with Mad Men and the timeless "Betty Draper" aesthetic.

• Springtime Beauty Checklists: The duo’s personal lists for the season, including laser hair removal, Botox timing, and the "au naturel" nail trend.

• The "Leaky Bladder" Conversation: Dr. Carol Lynn breaks down the difference between urge incontinence and stress incontinence.

• Medical Solutions for Midlife: * ThermiVa: An in-office, non-surgical treatment for vaginal dryness and bladder control.

  • The Urethral Sling: What the "bladder tack" surgery actually is and what to expect during recovery.

  • The Tampon Trick: A simple hack for women who experience leaking specifically during exercise.

• Midlife Fashion & Bargains: Heather shares her favorite "retro" wide-leg jogger set and Carol Lynn reveals a $15 layered necklace find.
