This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

Floored - Why Our Pelvic Floor Health Matters with Dr. Sara Reardon | 314


Listen Later

Let’s be honest: when it comes to pelvic floor health, most of us have been fed a steady diet of silence, shame, and “just deal with it.” But that ends today.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Sara Reardon, aka The Vagina Whisperer (yes, really), a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist, TED speaker, and author of FLOORED: A Complete Guide to Women’s Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage. With nearly 20 years of experience, Sara is here to deliver straight talk and science-backed wisdom about what’s actually going on down there.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is common—but it’s not normal. From postpartum issues to painful sex, pee leaks to prolapse, this is your permission slip to stop suffering in silence and start getting the care you deserve. No more brushing it off. No more white-knuckling your way through it. Just informed, empowered choices about your health and your body.

In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What your pelvic floor actually is and why it matters ✅ Signs it’s not functioning properly (and that you shouldn’t ignore) ✅ How to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system that often overlooks women ✅ Why pain, leakage, and shame are NOT normal parts of womanhood

This isn’t just a health issue—it’s a confidence, autonomy, and quality of life issue. Understanding your body is woman’s work. Taking care of it unapologetically? Also woman’s work.
