In this episode, I speak with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Sara Reardon about the confusion so many women feel around leakage, prolapse, painful sex, constipation, and “mystery” pelvic symptoms. Sara shares simple habits, movement tips, and muscle-care strategies that can dramatically improve pelvic health at any age. I’m thrilled to bring her expertise into a conversation that empowers every woman to understand and support her pelvic floor.
Dr. Sara Reardon is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist who somehow turned a decade of helping women stop leaking, straining, and suffering in silence into the beloved persona “The Vagina Whisperer.” She now runs The V-Hive, teaches pelvic floor fitness online, and helps women of every age finally understand how their bodies work in real, relatable, totally refreshing ways.
What you’ll learn:
(00:34 Why pelvic floor disorders are a “silent epidemic.”
(01:49) How pelvic floor issues show up across ages—from young women with painful sex to older adults with bladder problems.
(06:05) The many roles of the pelvic floor, including support, stability, bladder control, bowel function, and sexual function.
(08:40) Why leakage, pain, and prolapse aren’t “normal,” even though they’re common.
(10:39) The most important daily bladder habits—like not peeing “just in case” and never pushing to pee—that protect pelvic health.
(14:36) How to contract your pelvic floor properly during exercise.
(16:46) How to identify pelvic floor tension, and why stretching, breathing, and relaxation may matter more than Kegels.
(25:02) What prolapse really is, and when therapy versus surgery is recommended.

Early in the day I have to pee way more often than every 2-4 hours. I’m talking like every 30 minutes to an hour. I’m peeing a lot each time too. Like up to 2 cups or more depending on how long I hold it before going. I’m not just estimating either. I literally started peeing in a mason jar that has the measurements on it just to see how much I was peeing after a conversation I had with someone that made me wonder if there was something wrong with me. Don’t laugh at me!! 😂😂😂
So is it good or bad for the pelvic floor if we jump? Should we use a trampoline or avoid it? I am not sure if I can jump and hold the pelvic floor at the same time 😮
