#182 The Hidden Link Between Stress, Painful Sex & Your Pelvic Floor From A Pelvic Floor Specialist

Superwomen, we need to talk about your pelvic floor.

If you’ve ever apologized during a pelvic exam, felt broken because sex hurts, or wondered if leaking when you laugh is just part of being a mom, this conversation is for you.

Pelvic floor physiotherapist Aliya Dhalla joins me to answer the questions most of us are too ashamed to ask. We talk about vulva appearance, labiaplasty, pelvic tension, postpartum trauma, and the invisible ways stress shows up in our bodies, especially in the pelvic floor. You’ll hear how porn and patriarchy have warped our ideas of what’s normal and why so many women are walking around in pain without ever being diagnosed.

We go deep into:

• Why do women apologize for how they look, smell, or show up in the exam room

• What’s actually normal when it comes to vulva anatomy and hair

• How stress, trauma, and overthinking get stored in your pelvic floor

• Why painful sex is not something you should push through

• The connection between clenching, safety, and self pleasure

Your body is not broken. You are not too much. You just haven’t been told the truth.
