I really look forward to this weekly podcast. When I hear to the gym Mondays after work, I know I have an awesome, encouraging podcast to listen to. (Sometimes I listen to it on my way into work because I’m too excited!) Dr. Janelle is a powerful speaker and she makes me believe that healing is going to happen for me.

Dr. Janelle is changing lives with her podcast & Instagram community! Experiencing vaginismus can feel so isolating and it’s so great hearing her talk about it & hear all the success stories! She is helping women overcome shame & feel confident in their body. Can’t recommend this & Dr. Janelle enough!!!
