Lady Parts is a dramedy feature film where a young woman's sex life becomes a family affair when she has to undergo a vulvar vestibulectomy. Her loving, but overbearing parents help her through recovery (despite her cringing) and learn that saying "vagina" loud and proud is the first step to advocating for herself in all aspects of her life. In this special episode of the Stubborn Love Podcast, the team behind the film 'Lady Parts' joins to discuss the inspiration, creation, and societal impacts of their movie. Writer and Executive Producer Bonnie Gross, Director Nancy Boyd, and Producer Meghan Griesbeck share personal experiences with conditions like vulvar vestibulitis and vaginismus, and emphasize the need for open discussions about women's health.  They highlight the role of educational systems, the importance of supportive family dynamics, and the advocacy work being done to de-stigmatize vaginal health. The filmmakers also discuss organizations providing valuable resources and support for those affected. Their goal is to get the film in front of as many people as possible, sparking important conversations and cultural change around women's health issues. 01:14 Inspiration Behind Lady Parts 02:26 Understanding Vulvar Vestibulitis and Vaginismus 05:50 Challenges in the Medical Community 09:42 The Importance of Family Support 13:32 Advocacy and Resources Connect with Lady Parts https://ladypartsfilm.com/  IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21423506/  IG - https://www.instagram.com/ladyparts_film/  FB - https://www.facebook.com/ladypartsthemovie  TT - https://www.tiktok.com/@shake_ur_bonbon  X - https://twitter.com/lady_parts_film  Resources mentioned Tight Lipped https://www.tightlipped.org/  Intimate Rose https://www.intimaterose.com/ The Pelvic People https://thepelvicpeople.com/  Hello Gina https://ginaapp.com/  Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching TikTok: @paigebondcoaching Website: https://paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and a Polyamory Relationship Coach.
