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.
