In a 2022 presentation, Janelle Strop discussed a leadership program she ran at the University of Toronto that integrated movement and embodiment into leadership education. She stated that the program was designed for students who identify as BIPOC, cis women, trans women, and non-binary. Strop described using physical exercises, such as deep squats and push-up positions, as metaphors for leadership concepts like balance, confidence, and persistence, and said the program aimed to normalize all body types and abilities in the learning space. In a 2018 interview, Strop spoke about her experience with urinary incontinence, which she said began after the birth of her children and worsened over time. She described seeking treatment from a physician after experiencing an eight-week menstrual cycle, and stated that she underwent minimally invasive surgery. Strop said the surgery allowed her to return to exercise and daily activities without the issue interfering, and she encouraged other women to discuss similar health concerns without shame.
“It started with just the sneezing and having incontinence of urine β laughing, coughing, all of those things that I thought were just normal.”
“That started after my children were born and for years I was finding that I was unable to get through even an hour of a workout without having to stop and go to the bathroom.”
“I thought it was just normal β it didn't seem like that big of a deal β but as I got older it happened more often and it became more severe.”
“I had a menstrual cycle that lasted for eight weeks and I was done with that, so I went to see Dr. Rush β during my appointment he asked if I had any other concerns and we started discussing this issue.”
