What happens when women’s pain is ignored, dismissed, or mislabeled as “all in your head”? In this episode, Patty Brisben sits down with writer, comedian, and filmmaker Bonnie Gross, creator of the award-winning film Lady Parts, inspired by her own journey through years of misdiagnosis, medical gaslighting, and ultimate healing.
Part heartfelt and part hilarious, Lady Parts flips the script on shame and silence around women’s health—encouraging open conversations between patients, parents, and providers about bodies, pleasure, and pain. Patty and Bonnie explore what it means to advocate for yourself in a system that often doesn’t listen, how laughter can be medicine, and why saying “vagina” out loud matters.
