Urinary leakage. Painful sex. That pressure you can’t explain. If you've been told these are just “normal” parts of getting older or having kids, this episode will open your eyes. Tamsen sits down with board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Sara Reardon (known online as The Vagina Whisperer) to get honest about the symptoms women are still suffering through in silence.

From perimenopause to postpartum, Dr. Reardon shares how pelvic floor dysfunction shows up, why it's more common than you think, and what you can actually do about it. No shame, no confusion. Just real answers for women who are ready to feel strong in their bodies again.

In this episode, they cover:

– What the pelvic floor actually is and how it supports your core health

 – How perimenopause and hormonal shifts impact bladder control and sexual function

 – Why pelvic pain, leakage, and pressure are common but not normal

 – What pelvic floor therapy looks like and how to know if you need it

 – The truth about Kegels and why they’re not always the answer

 – How posture, stress, and childbirth affect your pelvic health at every age

 – When to ask for help and how to find the right pelvic floor specialist
