1089. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?! The Common Misconceptions That Are Keeping You in Pain w/ Dr. Sara Reardon



Hey Heal Squad! Get ready for a major education moment with Dr. Sara Reardon, board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist, TED presenter, and founder of The V-Hive platform. Dr. Sara (aka the Vagina Whisperer) is here to break down what the pelvic floor really is, why it matters WAY more than we’ve been taught, and how you can prevent and treat common issues like painful sex, urinary leakage, prolapse, constipation, and discomfort during pregnancy or menopause—without shame or mystery.

She shares why so many of us were never taught about this essential part of our anatomy, how to know if you’re experiencing tension vs. weakness, and how to start caring for this powerful part of your body through breath, awareness, and simple daily shifts (like stop pushing when you pee!).

From taboo topics to everyday tips, this conversation will change how you view your pelvic floor—and give you the tools to reclaim your health at every stage of life!



HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: 

  • Painful sex is a signal, not something to ignore. Pain with intimacy is a sign your body needs attention, not something to normalize. Pelvic floor therapy can address the root causes and help you reconnect with your body without fear or shame.

  • Stop pushing when you pee. Straining during urination or bowel movements can weaken your pelvic floor over time. Practicing proper mechanics helps preserve pelvic health through every life stage.

  • Tight isn’t strong. A tight pelvic floor often mimics weakness, leading to pain, leaks, or dysfunction. Learning how to relax your pelvic floor is just as important as strengthening it.
