You know, I wish I could take credit for it. So I am a physical therapist by training. I have a doctorate degree. And then I specialized in pelvic floor physical therapy. And when I was after graduate school practicing, I would get together with my girlfriends and their families every summer and practice.

And when I was after graduate school practicing, I would get together with my girlfriends and their families every summer and practice.

A few summers after I specialized in this field, I ended up like sitting in a hot tub with all of their moms talking about their bladder problems. And all of my friends said, oh my gosh, she's like the vagina whisperer. And then when I created my Instagram account in 2017... I created it for my group of girlfriends. I was pregnant. We were all going through pregnancy and postpartum.

We were all going through pregnancy and postpartum.

And I just was sharing tips on social media for them to find so they could know how to prepare. And I named it The Vagina Whisperer because that's what they called me. And so it really has blossomed, you know, over the years, several hundreds of thousands of folks following along. And I think that that growth is a real testament.

One, maybe the name is funny, but two, that women really want this information about their pelvic floors and they're not getting it from anywhere else. So it's just been an incredible journey to go from starting an Instagram account to now being a published author, talking all about the pelvic floor and the vagina.

Awesome. Thank you. You know, and I think that that's one of the thing is I'm a medical professional. I'm a medical provider. But I think when we start using this jargon and all of these really medical terms, people get lost and then they can't understand what we're talking about. And so I want to meet people where they are.

And the other thing is, you know, I've treated, you know, thousands, tens of thousands of women. And this is a really intimate part of their body that we're talking about. They're sharing things with me that they've never told anyone sometimes. And I want them to feel comfortable doing that and less alone in the process and that I also understand it as a woman.

And so I think all of those things have really just, yeah, been able to help me connect with so many people over the years and provide them help and resources for these really kind of intimate and often embarrassing issues.

So I went into college. I went to Washington University in St. Louis in the Midwest. I was born and raised in New Orleans. And the first time I ever flew on a plane, I was 17 and going to college. Like, I mean, I was kind of a small town girl. And so even being from New Orleans and I went to WashU knowing that I wanted to be a physical therapist. I said, I don't want to be a doctor.

I don't want to be in school forever. I don't want to be a nurse, but I'm active. I run track. I swim. I don't want to sit behind a desk all day, and I want to work with people. And just kind of following those small things I knew about myself led me into this field. And so I was at WashU for seven years, undergraduate and graduate school.

I got a degree in psychology, and then I went on to get a doctorate in physical therapy. And while I was in physical therapy school, I had a professor who's still my mentor to this day, 18 years later, who gave us this two-week lecture on women's health.
