Let’s talk about the stuff we’ve been told to accept.


“You’ll pee when you sneeze after kids — that’s just life.” “Pain with sex? You’ll get used to it.”

No. Just… no.


In this myth-busting episode of Vaginally Speaking, I’m pulling back the curtain on the pelvic floor lies and half-truths that keep women confused, ashamed, and stuck in silence. From bladder and bowel myths to sex, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery, I’m here to tell you what’s actually normal, what’s only common, and why that difference could change your health forever.


We’ll dig into:

  • Why peeing “just in case” might be training your bladder to misbehave

  • The truth about bladder size (spoiler: yours probably isn’t “too small”)

  • The constipation connection — how poop posture and pelvic floor health are deeply linked

  • Pain with sex, pregnancy, or postpartum — why you should never be told to “just live with it”

  • The truth about lifting, Kegels, and childbirth prep — and how bad advice can hold you back

  • The “common vs. normal” conversation every woman deserves to hear


Your pelvic floor is powerful — but only if you’re armed with the right information.


If you’ve been dismissed, told your symptoms are “just what happens,” or felt too embarrassed to ask questions, this episode is your permission slip to demand better.


🎧 Listen to Episode 2 now and start rewriting the story of your pelvic health.
