Period Pain or Something Bigger? Let's Talk Endometriosis
In this episode of the Ask Lively Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed conditions in women’s health — endometriosis. It affects 1 in 10 women, yet most spend 7–10 years searching for answers. We talk about why that is, how to recognize the signs, and what real healing and advocacy can look like. Painful periods aren’t “just part of being a woman.” Sometimes, they’re your body’s way of telling you something deeper is going on. Guest Spotlight: Dr. Sara Reardon is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist with over 18 years of experience. She’s the founder of The V-Hive, an online pelvic floor workout app designed to support women through pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex, and pelvic floor strengthening. Known as The Vagina Whisperer on social media, she’s also the author of the national bestselling book FLOORED: A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage. In this episode she unpacks what endometriosis really is, why it’s so often dismissed, and how to support your body — physically, emotionally, and holistically — when you’re living with chronic pain.
