444 The Pain We Carry Quietly: Breaking the Silence on Pelvic & Reproductive Health. Why Reproductive Pain Gets Ignored & How Black Women Take Back Their Health with Dr. Janelle Fredrick

Why do so many Black women get told their pain is “normal” when it’s anything but? In this episode, Tyra sits down with pelvic floor therapist Dr. Janelle Frederick to break down the symptoms so many of us have been taught to ignore — from chronic cramps to painful intimacy to stress responses we don’t even realize we’re carrying. Together, they dig into how hormones, stress, and the pelvic floor all connect, and why understanding your body is the first step to real relief. Takeaways: Listening to your body is an act of self-respect. Your pain has a source — and it deserves attention. Knowing what’s happening in your body is a form of empowerment.
