Why? Because there is no such thing as having "too much information" when it comes to your health and wellness. Information and knowledge is power, period. And feeling empowered is everything.
Many of us are living similar experiences, and yet we often feel alone, or even worse - shameful about what we perceive to be an embarrassing problem. When we are embarrassed, we stay silent. Silence breeds shame, and shame makes our struggles even more difficult.
My hope is to help change that. And it starts here!
I want to create a space where NO question is off limits (I really mean it!), where no one feels judged and where you can tune in to learn something, and feel a little seen!
From painful sex, raging hormones, vanishing libido, postpartum vaginal healing, infertility and bladder leaks (been there!) - there is no judgement here. This is about asking the awkward questions and talking with top experts to get the truth - the information you deserve.
We are going there, unfiltered! And I am so excited you're here.

Dr. Millar is working to train other birth providers on how to offer trauma-informed care. Pap smears, pelvic exams, IUD insertions, surgeries, and childbirth are all complex and often deeply vulnerable moments for a patient. Step one is ensuring that the patient's background and trauma history are recognized, and then working to enhance the experience for all those who feel uncomfortable during these times should be essential. We cover it all in this episode! We even cover tips on how you can have the best experience even if your doctor isn’t trauma-informed.
Dr. Heather Millar’s trauma-informed care work began around the goal of improving the sexual and reproductive health of marginalized girls and young women, both locally and internationally. She is particularly interested in innovative approaches to prevention and care in Obstetrics and Gynaecology for this high-risk group, including inter-disciplinary collaboration and community partnership.
