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.

Weak or Tight? Understanding the Difference: The ‘ChatGPT Said What?!’ Mini Series
Ever wondered why your symptoms feel confusing, like you leak and sex hurts… or you feel “tight,” but everyone keeps telling you to “strengthen your pelvic floor”?
Allison tackles one of the most misunderstood questions in pelvic health:
“How do I know if my pelvic floor is weak or too tight?”
She kicks things off by asking ChatGPT for an answer (because the internet loves a one-size-fits-all solution)… and then breaks down why those tidy categories don’t actually reflect how real bodies work. Hint: weak and tight often show up together, symptoms overlap, and your pelvic floor is an entire team of muscles that depend on coordination, breath, and relaxation, not just “more strength.”
From painful insertion to difficulty relaxing, to leakage, heaviness, constipation, breath-holding, and tension patterns… Allison explains why the signs of dysfunction don’t always point in one direction, and why trying to diagnose yourself based on a Kegel test is a fast track to more confusion, not clarity.
This episode helps you understand what your symptoms really mean, when to seek support, and why personalized care matters more than Pinterest diagrams or Reels routines.
You’ll learn:
- Why “weak vs. tight” is usually a false divide, and how both can exist at the same time
- The overlapping symptoms ChatGPT gets wrong (like leakage appearing in both weak and tight patterns)
- Why pain with insertion is a major sign of tightness, but its absence doesn’t rule it out
- How breath coordination and relaxation shape your pelvic floor more than raw strength
- Why Kegels aren’t a diagnostic tool and can worsen symptoms without guidance
- The simple self-check questions Allison uses to spot dysfunction (no shame, no guessing)
