The Vagina Whisperer Speaks ft. Dr. Sara Reardon

#76: What do you actually know about your pelvic floor? Like… beyond “do your Kegels” and hope for the best?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sara Reardon (also known as The Vagina Whisperer) to talk all things pelvic floor health, pain with sex, birth recovery, body awareness, and her new book Floored. Whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, or just tired of being dismissed by your OB, this conversation is your permission slip to start asking better questions about your body.

We get into:
– Why “just do Kegels” is not the whole story
– The mental health side of pelvic floor dysfunction
– How stress, trauma, and anxiety show up in the body
– Sara’s journey writing Floored and claiming her voice
– Why self-assessment matters way more than you think
– How to know if your pelvic floor is too tight (yep, that’s a thing)
– Normalizing the conversation around sex, leakage, and body literacy

If no one ever taught you about your pelvic floor, this episode will.The Vagina Whisperer Speaks
