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 Smut Might Be the Missing Link to Your Libido with Kelsie Hoss
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever wished you could quiet your mind long enough to actually feel turned on, without fixing yourself, forcing desire, or pretending your body is something it’s not?
In this episode, Allison sits down with bestselling romance author Kelsie Hoss for a playful, deeply validating conversation about desire, body image, libido, and the surprising role smut can play in reconnecting with your body. From purity culture and shame to postpartum numbness and mental overload, Kelsie shares how romance novels, especially body-positive, inclusive ones, can offer a low-pressure way back to arousal, imagination, and pleasure.
Together, they unpack why so many women struggle to “get in the mood,” how responsibility and survival mode disconnect us from desire, and why reading spicy fiction can feel safer (and more effective) than visual stimulation for many women. This conversation blends humor, honesty, and pelvic-floor-meets-real-life insight, while reminding listeners that arousal isn’t something you earn, it’s something you’re allowed to experience.
You’ll hear a refreshing take on how imagination fuels libido, why discomfort around smut often points to deeper conditioning, and how seeing real, imperfect bodies being desired can literally shift how you feel in your own skin. This episode is equal parts permission slip, laugh-out-loud girlfriend chat, and gentle invitation to explore pleasure on your terms.
