#394: Dr. Sara Reardon (The Vagina Whisperer) on Sex and Exercise Rules After Childbirth, Rethinking Post-Partum Care and The Importance of Pelvic Floor Fitness!


Listen Later

Sara is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist who specializes in online pelvic floor fitness programs.

Her goal is to save the world one vagina at a time by providing expert care for your down there.

"Our healthcare system is currently doing a terrible disservice to people with vaginas. Postpartum "care," for instance, is little more than a six-week permission slip to return to exercise and sex. And if we happen to have any concerns, they're brushed off. "Welcome to motherhood," or, "That's normal at your age," we're told. But that is not OK.

Since 2006, Sara has worked with thousands of women suffering from pelvic floor problems, and I decided something had to change and feels that we shouldn't be normalizing pelvic floor problems. We ought to be normalizing pelvic floor conversations.

And so, The Vagina Whisperer was born. She created this space so that every vagina owner out there—can finally get the care they deserve.

Here are some of the things we discussed outside of the topics in the title:

  • The main reasons for painful sex
  • Best practices for exercising during pregnancy
  • How the Vagina Whisperer movement grew and now has over 390k Instagram followers.
  • Social media and unrealistic expectations for post pregnancy realties to be aware of.
  • And much more.
