About the show
Chronic pelvic pain doesn't have great PR. Vulvodynia, vaginismus, painful sex, pelvic floor dysfunction - conditions that affect 1 in 4 women and still get treated like a secret. This podcast is trying to change that.
The World's Tightest Community is a weekly podcast hosted by Mathilde - a patient-turned-advocate who built this space out of her own experience with vulvodynia and vaginismus. Each episode goes deep into the conditions that millions of women live with but few feel safe naming: vulvodynia, vaginismus, vestibulodynia, pudendal neuralgia, and the wider landscape of chronic pelvic pain and painful sex.
Mathilde speaks with gynecologists, pelvic floor physiotherapists, sex therapists, psychologists, and researchers working at the front edge of women's sexual health - translating clinical knowledge into something actually usable, alongside honest conversations about diagnostic delays, medical gaslighting, and what it really costs to navigate these conditions.
You'll leave each episode with more language for your experience, clearer questions to bring to your next appointment, and the specific relief of knowing someone has thought carefully about this.
