If you’ve ever been told to “just do Kegels” for your pelvic floor issues, you’re not alone — and you’ve probably been given advice that’s oversimplified, outdated, and potentially harmful.


In this episode of Vaginally Speaking, I’m joined by Dr. Corrie — pelvic floor therapist and co-owner of Genesis PT and Wellness — to take a sledgehammer to some of the biggest pelvic health myths that keep women confused and silent about their bodies.


We dive into the truth about why Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all solution, why “just push it out” is terrible advice for your bladder and bowels, and how emotional and trauma healing are deeply connected to your pelvic health.


You’ll hear:

  • Why you should stop doing Kegels until you know what your pelvic floor actually needs

  • The myth of “just push it out” — and how it harms bladder and bowel function

  • Postpartum truths that go beyond the dismissive “welcome to motherhood” mentality

  • Real-life patient stories showing how trauma can live in the pelvic floor

  • How emotional healing and pelvic therapy work together for lasting results



Pelvic health isn’t just about muscles — it’s about understanding your whole body, your history, and your needs.

🎧 Listen to Episode 3 now and learn why your pelvic floor deserves more than “just do Kegels.”
