Description
A podcast about pelvic pain and women's sexual wellness. By sharing my personal journey as a 29-year old woman living with chronic pelvic pain, I aspire to provide support to other women living with vulvodynia, including: vestibulodynia, vaginismus, dyspareunia, and pelvic floor dysfunction. By interviewing a variety of healthcare and alternative professionals, I intend to provide education and resources to women and all members of their support system. This podcast is for anyone who identifies as a woman as well as for all other humans who love us and want to better understand both the pleasure and pain generated through our powerful pelvis.
