Manage episode 473974606 series 3647649
Join Ruth Astbury, women's health champion and wellbeing coach, and Lizzie Evans, specialist pelvic health physio, for a fun, frank and fiercely informative walk through the decades of vaginal health.
From baby vulvas to postnatal recovery and the changes that hit during menopause, this episode lifts the lid on what’s really going on down there – and why it’s time we started talking about it!
💬 In this bonus episode, we explore:
- What happens to your vulva from birth to puberty
- The not-so-sexy truths of postpartum healing
- How stress and trauma impact pelvic health – even in your twenties
- Why vaginal dryness isn’t just ‘one of those things’
- The power of education, self-checks, and the Lady Garden movement 💪
✨ Expect honesty, belly laughs and expert tips – all served with zero shame.
🔗 Resources mentioned:
💌 Got a burning question about menopause, GSM or anything vulva-related?

📢 You’re not alone – and it’s okay if you’ve peed your pants. We have too.
Subscribe, share, and check in with your pelvic floor – it's cheering you on.
