Ground Floor: on vaginismus, vulvodynia, and other ways we brace

Ground Floor: on vaginismus, vulvodynia, and other ways we brace

Women's bodies were never designed for permanent survival mode. Reasonable women have done the therapy, the books, the pelvic floor work, and still do not feel a sense of home and belonging in their bodies.


Vaginismus and vulvodynia are one example: a vagina that closes involuntarily. At the same time, vaginismus is just one way women brace.


This podcast is for women who still feel numb, perform, over-function, hold it all.


Hosted by Naomi Gale, a pelvic health educator, mother and author. Each episode moves between real conversations, named myths corrected with the evidence behind them, and the deeper question underneath: what happens when a woman stops trying to fix herself and starts trusting what her body's been saying all along.


This isn't a conversation on self-help; it's a return to you: a reasonable woman in an unreasonable world. Naomi is the author of Ground Floor and The Reasonable Woman, published by nomestia.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
