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 You Feel a Bulge Down There: The ‘ChatGPT Said What?!’ Mini Series
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever felt something different down there and immediately spiraled into a Google search that made your heart drop into your stomach?
In part four of our “ChatGPT Said What?!” mini-series, Allison tackles one of the most panic-inducing pelvic floor questions of all time: “Why do I feel a bulge in my vagina?”
This time, Allison asks ChatGPT what that sensation means and (unsurprisingly) the answer jumps straight to worst-case scenarios: pelvic organ prolapse, organs “falling out,” surgery, and age-based fear tactics that leave women feeling broken and terrified. But here’s the truth: that dramatic explanation misses nuance, context, and your body’s incredible capacity to adapt and heal.
Allison breaks down what prolapse actually is (hint: shifting, not falling), why heaviness and pressure don’t automatically mean something is “wrong,” and how tight or uncoordinated pelvic floor muscles can mimic prolapse symptoms entirely. You’ll learn why many prolapses are mild, manageable, and often improve with the right support and why surgery is rarely the first step.
You’ll learn:
- What pelvic organ prolapse actually is (and what it’s not)
- Why “feeling a bulge” doesn’t automatically mean prolapse
- Common symptoms like heaviness, pressure, and fullness and what causes them
- How tight or uncoordinated muscles can mimic prolapse sensations
- Why surgery is usually not the first or only option
- How pelvic floor therapy helps rebuild real support and confidence
- Why prolapse does not mean you’re fragile or broken
