From Commands to Purpose: How Gen Z Needs to Be Led | Calle Foster
Gen Z isn't lazy. They're the most entrepreneurial generation we've ever had — and they're being mismanaged at scale. Leadership coach Calle Foster joins Dr. Rahman to break down why command and control kills Gen Z performance, what Gen X parenting has to do with it, and why psychological safety isn't soft leadership — it's the only leadership style that actually works on this generation.
Why AI is Medicine's Future (Not Its Replacement) Dr. Ami Bhatt
AI isn't coming for doctors' jobs. It's coming to give them back their time — and for patients, it's arriving as something else entirely: validation. Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology, joins Dr. Rahman to explain what collaborative intelligence actually means, why women are adopting AI faster than men, and why understanding algorithmic bias is now a basic health literacy skill.
Women's Sexual Health Innovation with Sabrina Johnson, CEO of Dari Bioscience
Sabrina Johnson spent 35 years in pharmaceutical development before realizing no one was actually building for women. She founded DARE Bioscience — the only publicly traded pharma company focused entirely on women's healthcare — because someone had to. She joins Dr. Rahman to talk the 1% investment gap, the science behind Dare to Play, and why the delivery mechanism was the hardest problem to solve.
Anxiety, OCD, and ADHD in Kids with Dr. John Parkhurst
Parenting looks different now than it did a generation ago — and so does kids' mental health. Anxiety is showing up more often, OCD diagnoses are rising, and focus challenges are increasingly common. For those in the sandwich generation managing their own hormonal health while raising kids and caring for aging parents, understanding what's happening with children's mental health isn't a secondary concern. Child psychologist Dr. John Parkhurst from Northwestern joins Dr. Rahman to explain what parents are missing — and what to do about it.
Trauma, Lost Desire, and ART: A Breakthrough Therapy with Brooke Bralove
Trauma doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes it shows up as six years of pelvic pain with no identifiable cause, a complete loss of desire, or an inability to tolerate intimacy. Psychotherapist and sex therapist Brooke Bralove joins Dr. Rahman to explain Accelerated Resolution Therapy — a treatment that uses rapid eye movement to process trauma in as few as one to five sessions — and why grieving the loss of spontaneous desire is a necessary step before you can rebuild intimacy in a long-term relationship.
Teaching Anatomical Language, AI, Private Equity, and Why Three OB-GYNs Stopped Delivering Babies
Three OB-GYNs who trained in residency not to examine the clitoris now run gynecology-only practices built around the conditions everyone else misses. Dr. Meredith McClure and Dr. Ashley Fuller of the Labialogic podcast join Dr. Rahman to talk lichen sclerosus, why certain BV DNA tests produce false positives, why one-dose Monistat can cause severe vulvar inflammation, and how teaching patients to say "vulva" instead of "vagina" is an actual clinical intervention.
Why Your Endometriosis Symptoms Didn't Go Away After Surgery | Jandra Mueller
Jandra Mueller is a pelvic floor physical therapist in San Diego and the incoming educational chair for ISSWSH — and she spent years getting her own endometriosis diagnosed, even with direct access to specialists. She and Dr. Rahman break down the pelvic pentad, why fibrotic endometriosis survives excision surgery, what mast cells have to do with nerve proliferation, and the real difference between a surgeon who does excision and one who actually specializes in endo.
Perimenopause, Medical Gaslighting, and Why Gen X Won't Just Disappear | Beth Crosby (Garbage Mom)
Beth Crosby spent years getting iron infusions before a single doctor tested her for celiac disease. In this episode, she and Dr. Rahman talk perimenopause anxiety, medical gaslighting, the reality of working in Hollywood as a mother, and how a joke post about a music festival turned into something Alanis Morissette noticed.
Understanding Orgasms: Science, Solutions, and Why Doctors Don't Ask | Dr. Lauren Streicher
70% of OB-GYNs never ask about orgasm. And when women bring it up, the answer is "this just happens when you age." Dr. Lauren Streicher — Northwestern professor and Kinsey Institute researcher — joins Dr. Rahman to explain what's actually happening, what's causing it, and what actually works.
Pelvic Venous Disorders, Chronic Pain, and the Pelvic Floor with Dr. Julie Baron
For years, Dr. Julie Baron — a pelvic floor PT — couldn't sit or stand for more than 10 minutes without needing to lie down. Every specialist told her she was normal. She finally diagnosed herself, pushed for her own imaging, and found 12-millimeter varicose veins across her uterus. This episode is for every woman who has been told her chronic pelvic pain is just part of life.
Labiaplasty, Anatomy, Overdoing It, Traveling for Surgery & Prevention with Dr. Dahlia Rice
Most women have never been told what's actually normal when it comes to labial anatomy. Dr. Dahlia Rice joins Dr. Rahman to cover labiaplasty honestly — what it addresses, what overdoing it looks like, and why traveling abroad for surgery deserves serious thought before you book.
Fertility Myths, Egg Freezing, and The Lucky Egg with Dr. Lucky Sekhon
Age 35 isn't the fertility cliff you've been told. Over 50% of unintended pregnancies happen during perimenopause. And most fertility doctors won't give you the actual numbers. Dr. Lucky Sekhon — reproductive endocrinologist and author of The Lucky Egg — joins Dr. Rahman to change that.
How We Treat Pelvic Pain, Painful Sex, and Sexual Dysfunction
Insurance gives you ten minutes for pelvic pain, painful sex, and sexual dysfunction. Dr. Rahman sits down with her nurse practitioner and pelvic floor PT to show what comprehensive sexual health care actually looks like — and why she left insurance behind to deliver it.
Functional Strength Training, Nutrition & Midlife Reset | Katalin Rodriguez Ogren
Her GP offered marriage counseling when her menopause symptoms got severe. So Katalin Rodriguez Ogren — who has owned Chicago's POW Gym for 25 years — wrote a book instead. This conversation covers protein, estrogen, and why midlife is a reset if you know what to do with it.
Postpartum to Perimenopause: Bounce Back Culture, Body Shame & Normal Anatomy w/Dr. Shieva Ghofrany
Filmed in Dr. Rahman's office — in front of the eight-foot vulva — Between Two Labia is the series where colleagues sit down and have the conversations patients actually want to hear. Dr. Shieva Ghofrany is the first guest, covering the overlooked years between postpartum and perimenopause, the harm of bounce-back culture, normal vulvar anatomy, and what her own health journey taught her about empathy in medicine.
The New Rules of Women's Health: Research Bias & Patient Empowerment | Meghan Rabbitt
Health journalist and author Meghan Rabbitt spent 25 years translating medicine for women — then Maria Shriver asked her to write the book women actually needed. In this video, Dr. Sameena Rahman and Meghan cover research bias, pregnancy complications and heart disease, why shame keeps women from getting care, and how to stop normalizing pain. With a full chapter-by-chapter timestamp breakdown so you can go straight to what matters most to you.
ISSWSH 2026 Recap: Testosterone, Research Funding & Women's Sexual Pleasure | Dr. Tami Rowen
What did the latest ISSWSH conference reveal about the future of women’s sexual health? Dr. Tami Rowen shares insights on testosterone therapy, sexual pleasure research, body image after breast cancer, and why sexual medicine still receives so little research funding.
What Is Sex Therapy? Shame, Intimacy Disorders & Pleasure | Dr. Shannon Chavez
Sex therapy isn’t awkward homework or uncomfortable demonstrations—it’s about safety, attachment, and reclaiming pleasure. Dr. Shannon Chavez breaks down sexual shame, vaginismus, compulsive sexual behaviors, and why the body holds onto pain even after physical healing. If you’ve ever felt confused about desire, shame, or intimacy, this conversation offers clarity and hope.
Global Women's Health: Maternal Mortality, Menopause & Cultural Barriers | Dr. Sadia Malick
From rural Pakistan to the UK, Dr. Sadia Malick has seen what happens when women are supported—and when they’re silenced. In this powerful conversation, we discuss maternal mortality, menopause stigma across cultures, PCOS and insulin resistance in South Asian populations, and why vaginal estrogen should be routine care for women over 40. This episode challenges the idea that suffering is normal and calls for global change in women’s health education.
POTS, MCAS, and the Veins Medical School Forgot | Dr. Alexis Cutchins
Dizziness, fatigue, pelvic pain—what if it’s all connected? Cardiologist Dr. Alexis Cutchins joins GynoGirl TV to explain how overlooked venous conditions may be at the root of common symptoms in women with POTS, MCAS, and hypermobility. If you’ve been dismissed, this one’s for you.
