11/05/21 • 50 min

Hey welcome!

This week I'm so excited to finally publish this episode with Ashley Stump. She's a pelvic floor physical therapist who knows all about Lichen Sclerosus.

I learned so much during this episode, we talked about what pelvic floor physical therapy is, why women with Lichen Sclerosus need it, what to expect on your first visit, and we talked about lubes.

We talked about so much, so much gold and she even gave us tips on what to look for when you're looking for a new pelvic floor physical therapist, and some resources are where to find one.

Covid Update

If you're seeing two of these or getting this episode really late, apologies. I realized half of my listeners didn't get the episode because I released it in video format versus audio. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Either way everyone should have at least one version of the episode.

Thanks for understanding.

Heeeyyy! Longtime no see. lol

Life has been busy and a bit hectic and I'm ready to let you in on everything that's been going on. And the most exciting news. You'll be getting new episodes starting Nov 5!

Secondly, my family caught covid and my husband and I ended up in the hospital. It's turned our world upside down. My husband, Lorenzo, still hasn't made it home.

Lorenzo was our source of income so I could concentrate on educating and supporting people with LS. With him not being able to work everything is a little up in the air.

If you would like to help us during this time we would deeply appreciate it. You can donate at

So I hope this catches you up to speed and you're prepared for some amazing interviews.

Excited to be with you again.
