This poddy is full of real chats, with real people, about real shit. So give it a spin if you dare! My intention with The Labia Lounge is to demystify & de-stigmatise; empower & educate; laugh & get vulnerable while helping dismantle the shame around genitals, pleasure, and being a messy human through juicy conversations. It‘s a judgement & shame-free space that aims to normalise the aspects of being a human that we often feel alone in or too afraid to talk about, and reassure you that you‘re not broken! So pop ya feet up and let‘s flappin‘ do this! Freya. xxx Hosted on Acast.

As a certified holistic nutritionist, women's health coach, and sexual health educator, Adrienne is renowned for her empowering work around vaginal and sexual health, with a particular focus on gut health, nutrition, and the emotional impact of chronic vaginal conditions.
