Lara Parker Talks Endometriosis, Experiencing Painful Sex, and Sexual Health with ‘Vagina Problems’

This week on the podcast we welcome Lara Parker, author of the forthcoming book, “Vagina Problems,” (which debuts in 2020) and the Deputy Editorial Director at Buzzfeed. Lara is known for her transparent articles about living with Endometriosis and what that means for her sexual health and daily life.  In this episode we discuss what the journey of living with Endometriosis has been like, from diagnosis to her current treatment. We also dive into the topics of living with chronic pain, painful sex, pain management and how to own your sexuality and sexual pleasure. Lara is no stranger to sharing her courageous journey with her community on Buzzfeed and Instagram, but we are very grateful to her for sitting down and having this really vulnerable conversation with us.   We both learned a lot from Lara and know that you will be so inspired by her courageous story.
