Let’s be real: women’s health has been whispered about, brushed off, and hidden behind closed doors for far too long. That ends here.

Welcome to the very first episode of Vaginally Speaking — the unapologetic, no-filter show where we talk clits, cramps, pelvic health, motherhood, mental health, sex, and everything your doctor may have dismissed as “normal.” Spoiler: common does not mean normal.

In this debut episode, I’m sharing my raw and personal journey — from working as a pediatric occupational therapist to opening One Strong Woman Therapy. My mission? To help women stop faking it, start healing, and reclaim their bodies.

Because here’s the truth:

Painful sex is not “just part of being a woman.”
Bladder leaks are common, but they’re not normal.
Constipation, orgasm struggles, and pelvic pain are not things you have to just live with.

We’ll dive into:

My career shift from helping kids meet developmental milestones to helping grown women stop peeing their pants (yes, you read that right).
The “common vs. normal” conversation that will change how you see your symptoms.
How pelvic health goes way beyond the physical — it’s emotional, mental, and deeply connected to trauma.
The massive gap in women’s health education and how we can rewrite the story for the next generation.

And because Vaginally Speaking is about being real, you can expect a season full of taboo-breaking conversations — from sex toys to poop habits, bladder leaks to body confidence. Nothing is off-limits.

If you’ve ever been told to “just live with it,” if you’ve ever Googled your symptoms in desperation, or if you’re simply craving honest, empowering conversations about your health — this is your safe space.
