This is a conversation many women don’t realize they need until something starts to feel off.

I sat down with Dr. Sara Reardon, a pelvic floor physical therapist known as The Vagina Whisperer, to talk about a part of women’s health that quietly affects how we move, train, recover, and age. It is rarely discussed until symptoms begin to interfere with daily life.

We explore the life stages when pelvic health is most vulnerable, including pregnancy, postpartum recovery, athletic training, and menopause, times when women are often told to accept changes without explanation. Sara offers clarity on how the pelvic floor adapts through these transitions and how early, thoughtful support can make a real difference. This episode provides perspective, reassurance, and a path forward to better understand your body, helping you move more confidently through every stage of life.

We examine how pelvic floor health shows up in daily life:
How leaking, pain, and pressure reflect coordination issues rather than personal failure
Why athletes and active women experience pelvic floor symptoms more often than expected
How breathing patterns and pressure management affect strength, stability, and comfort
What pregnancy and postpartum recovery actually demand from the pelvic floor
How menopause changes tissue health, sensation, and support
Why pelvic floor care influences longevity, mobility, and confidence as we age
