In this episode, Andrea explores vaginismus — a condition that affects many women and people with vaginas, but is often misunderstood or hidden behind silence and shame.
Because vaginismus isn’t a flaw — it’s a fear response.
And once the body feels safe again, pain can ease and pleasure can return.
