Vaginally Speaking
Vaginally Speaking is the no-filter, tell-it-like-it-is podcast breaking the silence on women’s health, pelvic health, motherhood, and everything in between. Hosted by Allison Germundson, founder of One Strong Woman Therapy, this is where clits, cramps, leaking, orgasms, poop habits, and “taboo” topics get the honest conversations they’ve always deserved.
Here, we call out the BS that “common” means “normal” and help you see that you don’t have to live with pain, leakage, or sexual dysfunction. From real birth stories to pelvic floor education, from mental health to sex toys, each episode is equal parts education, empowerment, and laugh-out-loud relatability.
Whether you’re navigating postpartum, struggling with painful sex, wondering why you pee when you sneeze, or just want to know your body better — you’ll find hope, solutions, and a community that gets it.
If you’re ready to stop faking it, start healing, and finally talk about the things no one told you, hit subscribe. This is your safe space to feel seen, heard, and equipped to change your story.
Common isn’t normal. You deserve better.

Why Low Libido Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken
Ever felt like you’d rather fold laundry than have sex? You’re not broken—your body and brain are just asking for something different.
In this episode, Allison dives into the real reasons women struggle with low libido—and why it has nothing to do with being “broken” or not loving your partner. From hormone fluctuations and stress to body image, pelvic floor pain, and communication breakdowns, she unpacks the messy, layered truth about desire. You’ll learn why most women experience responsive rather than spontaneous desire, how to set yourself up for intimacy that actually feels good, and the practical rituals that can help you reconnect with your body and your partner.
Tune in to hear:
- Why desire is often responsive for women and how to work with it
- How hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone—and cortisol—impact libido
- The role of stress, body image, and pelvic floor pain in lowering desire
- Why low libido doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner
- Tips to boost desire: scheduling intimacy, foreplay, fantasy, and rituals
- How to use communication (and solo exploration) to spark more connection
