Today’s episode is a special one: Megan interviews Roxi about her recent birth experience!

Just a couple of weeks ago, Roxi welcomed her third baby into the world, and…her first BOY!

In today’s conversation, Roxi reflects on what it was like preparing for and experiencing this sweet milestone moment. Unlike her first two pregnancies, Roxi admits this one felt much more laid-back (as in, she wasn’t as consumed by all the details because, well, life was happening)!

We’re chatting about Roxi’s expectations for her birth (which looked totally different than what she pictured), what helped her get through this “unexpected” labor and delivery, why it’s okay to be vulnerable during this time, and more.

Through it all, Roxi walked away with a deep sense of peace, accomplishment, and contentment. Whether it’s your first baby or your third, this is a beautiful reminder to give yourself grace, advocate for what you want, and cherish the sweetness of the journey!

Lichen sclerosus is one of those conditions that doesn’t get nearly enough attention, even though it can have a MAJOR impact on quality of life.

In today’s conversation, we’re breaking down what lichen sclerosus is, what it looks like, and why early treatment makes SUCH a big difference. Lichen sclerosus is not something you want brushed off as “normal.” If left untreated, it can progress to many unwanted symptoms.

Thankfully, there’s good news - LS can be managed with the right support and treatment plan!

While pelvic health PTs and OTs don’t “treat” LS directly, we can make a huge difference when it comes to addressing pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and muscle tightness that often accompany this condition.

Most importantly, you DON’T have to navigate this alone. Building a care team (whether that’s a gynecologist, dermatologist, pelvic floor therapist, or even a sex therapist), can help you find relief and feel more confident in your body again.

If something feels off, don’t wait for someone else to “catch it.” You deserve answers, and to feel healthy, comfortable, AND empowered in your own skin!!

Episode recap:

• What lichen sclerosus is + the most common symptoms to look out for
• Other possible conditions that can mimic LS symptoms
• Why early diagnosis and treatment make such a BIG difference
• The first-line medical treatment for lichen sclerosus
• Lifestyle and self-care practices that support vulvar health and overall well-being
• The role of pelvic health providers in helping patients navigate LS
• What your collaborative care team might include
• The importance of advocating for your own health & getting the care you deserve
