BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Hello you beautiful Lifers, 

Britt is back from Bali and Laura is off to Fiji on her honeymoon, but we managed to squeeze in one great big catch up in Britt's apartment before Laura heads off. We are catching up on where things are at in our own relationships and Laura has some feels before leaving on her honeymoon - which isn't exactly what you might be expecting. 

Joining the podcast today to speak about her experiences of vaginismus is the wonderful Jessie Stephens. Jessie is likely a familiar voice from the Mamamia Out Loud podcast, the podcast ‘Cancelled’ or from hosting The Project. She’s also an author of the international best seller ‘Heartsick.’

In this chat we speak about

  • Jessie's experience with vaginismus & how it can feel for different women
  • Pain and discomfort during sex, using tampons or pap smears
  • How to have the conversation with sexual partners
  • Managing vaginismus during pregnancy and childbirth

If you'd like to check out any of Jessie's content and get amongst her new book:
