How A Simple Trick From a Friend Helped Me Regain My Confidence & Control

Hi everyone, I'm Laura and I just turned 55! This is personal but let me share something that used to make me feel so alone and how I overcame it!

A few months ago, I was at a work event—one of those fancy networking mixers where you’re trying to make a good impression. Everything was going well until someone told a hilarious story, and I laughed a little too hard. Then it happened—an unexpected leak.

I froze. My face turned red, and I excused myself to the restroom, hoping no one noticed. I cleaned up, but the embarrassment stayed with me for the rest of the night. I couldn’t focus on conversations or enjoy myself. Instead, I kept thinking, What if this happens again?

The truth is, this wasn’t a one-time thing. It had been happening more often—when I sneezed, coughed, or even bent down too quickly. I started avoiding situations where I might be caught off guard. No more dance classes, no intense workouts, and I even hesitated to laugh freely. I felt like my body was betraying me, and I couldn’t figure out why. My confidence was in pieces, and I felt so isolated, like I couldn’t talk about it with anyone.

Then, one day, I opened up to my friend Sarah. She listened patiently as I rambled on about how frustrated and embarrassed I felt. To my surprise, she didn’t look shocked or awkward. Instead, she said, “You know, you’re not alone in this. I’ve been dealing with something similar, and it’s so much more common than you think.”

She told me about how the balance of bacteria in our urinary microbiome can play a huge role in issues like this. Sarah explained how she’d started using something that helps target harmful bacteria and promotes the good kind that supports urinary health. She said it had worked wonders for her, and I could see the difference. She looked relaxed, confident, like she didn’t have a care in the world.

At first, I brushed it off. I mean, could something like that really make a difference? But as the days went on and I kept holding myself back from living my life, I decided it was time to try. Honestly, what did I have to lose?

Fast forward a few weeks, and I can’t believe the change. Those unexpected moments that used to leave me mortified? They’re gone. I can sneeze, laugh, and even go for a jog without worrying about “what if.” My confidence has come back in ways I didn’t think were possible. I feel like I can finally be me again, without holding back.

If you’ve ever felt like your body was working against you, trust me—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to settle for living with it. There’s hope, and it’s amazing how small changes can lead to big transformations. Take it from me, life’s too short to let embarrassment hold you back. But, I'll leave it with you, to make the choice!
