532. [INTERVIEW] The Vagina Whisperer on Pelvic Floors, Pregnancy, Postpartum & Pleasure with Dr. Sara Reardon

Today I sit down with Dr. Sara Reardon—aka The Vagina Whisperer, a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist with 18 years of experience, a brand-new book (Floored) and a soon-to-launch app. We get real about what your pelvic floor actually does, how pregnancy and birth (vaginal and C-section) change it, why Kegels aren’t a one-size-fits-all fix, and the daily habits that quietly make symptoms worse!

Dr. Sara Reardon has been practicing as a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist for over 18 years. She is the Founder of The V-Hive, an online pelvic floor workout app for pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex, and pelvic floor strengthening. She has hundreds of thousands of followers as The Vagina Whisperer on Instagram and TikTok and is the author of the national bestselling book, FLOORED: A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage.
