I think no matter what your age or stage, I think it's beneficial now to learn about your body,

educate the next generation so that they know better and then they know more.

Welcome back. We are in our health and wellness series and today is a great day to be here. I do want to warn you that if you have little kids listening and they are in the car or they're in the room, they're watching with you on YouTube and you don't want to have the most awkward conversation ever with a seven-year-old. You may want to listen to this later. I'm going to give you a second just to turn

this podcast off, listen to it later, and you don't have to have that follow-up conversation or a lot

ask. But first, I want to tell you. Okay, let's dive in with Sarah. Sarah, welcome to the show. I have

been doing this show, gosh, seven years now, and I've never had anyone on with such a cool nickname. You are the vagina whisper. I want to know how long has that been your moniker? How did you come by it? Give us the scoop. Thanks so much for having me, Allie. So I am a board certified pelvic floor physical therapist. I've been practicing for 18 years. And when I

started practicing, I jumped right into the specialty of pelvic floor health, particularly for women.

And all of my girlfriends at the time started calling me the vagina whisper because they would come to me with questions about, you know,

childbirth and pregnancy. And then even their moms would start talking to me about their
