V.&Me: Vaginismus - Let's name it not shame it Podcast artwork

"Hey, your first time might hurt a bit" might be one of the few things that has been said to you before you had penetrative sex. But what happens when things don't go to plan and it keeps hurting? Or what if your V.(agina) simply says "Hell No"? After having been challenged by vaginismus herself, professional coach Audrey Cairo decided to combine her personal and professional experience to empower women who are being challenged by these conditions. In the V.&Me Podcast series you will join her and her brave guests in real open and honest conversations of how vaginismus or other V. challenges has effected them so far.
