Vulva La Revolution: Exposing Medical Gaslighting in Women’s Health

🎙️Carrie On! In this powerful episode of Carrie On!, host Carrie Murray sits down with award-winning filmmaker Meredith Yinger and trailblazing urologist Dr. Maria Uloko to name what generations of women have felt but rarely been allowed to say out loud: medical gaslighting is real, systemic, and harming women at every stage of life. Together, Meredith and Maria are leading Vulva La Revolution—a fearless documentary and movement exposing the devastating gaps in women’s sexual and vulvovaginal healthcare, while also spotlighting the revolution already underway. This is not just a conversation. It’s a wake-up call, a rally cry, and an invitation to trust your body, question broken systems, and refuse to suffer in silence. ✨ In This Episode, We Explore: Why medical gaslighting isn’t about bad doctors—but a broken system How most physicians are never taught basic vulvar anatomy or physiology Why it takes women 7+ years, multiple doctors, and thousands of dollars to get a diagnosis The shocking disparity between funding for penile vs. vulvar research How shame, silence, and misinformation keep women suffering Why pain during sex, recurrent UTIs, and pelvic pain are not “normal” How education, advocacy, and collective action can change healthcare forever 🎬 About Vulva La Revolution Vulva La Revolution is a multi-platform movement that includes: A feature-length documentary Animated educational shorts demystifying vulvar anatomy A nationwide screening tour with doctors, advocates, and grassroots organizations Partnerships with organizations like She Angels Foundation to drive policy, funding, and systemic change The goal? To turn justified anger into action, education, and empowerment. 🩺 Dr. Maria Uloko on Trusting Your Body “Your symptoms are real. You know your body better than anyone. My job as a physician is to believe you—and be the detective.” Dr. Maria shares why most vulvovaginal conditions are treatable, preventable, and often easy to diagnose—once doctors are properly trained and patients are empowered with language and knowledge. 🎥 Meredith Yinger on Why This Film Had to Exist “You do not have to suffer. Your pain is valid. And the fact that we’ve accepted this as normal is bullshit.” Meredith reveals how one conversation changed everything—and why this documentary refuses to let women walk away thinking their pain is imaginary. 🌍 How You Can Join the Revolution 💥 Support the film (Vulva La Revolution) as a sponsor, donor, or partner 📚 Educate yourself about vulvar health and anatomy 🗣️ Speak up—with doctors, daughters, friends, and policymakers 🌸 Drop a flower emoji in the comments if you’re ready to be part of the revolution Revolutions don’t happen alone. They happen when women collectively decide they’ve had enough. 🔗 Follow & Support Meredith Yinger / SheTV Media: @shetvmedia Dr. Maria Uloko: @mariaulokomd Carrie On!: Subscribe, like, comment, and share As always—Keep your head above the chaos, trust your body, and Carrie On! 🌸

10 Years of BRA: How a Dinner Party Became a Movement

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of BRA Network: The Herstory Episode In this very special anniversary episode of Carrie On!, I’m raising a glass to celebrate something incredibly close to my heart: 10 years of BRA Network. What began as a simple dinner party with four friends who were tired of boring networking events (bad coffee, worse energy) turned into a full-blown movement I never could have predicted. I watched a tiny spark—a conversation around my dining room table—grow into a powerful community of women entrepreneurs who collaborate, hire each other first, and lift each other up every step of the way. In this episode, I’m sharing the full bra herstory: how we started, how we survived the pandemic, how we grew, how we gave back, and how we created a space where women could rise together without apology. I’ll take you behind the scenes of our biggest milestones—from Women on the Rise and the Wealthy Woman Summitto our mega collaboration around Show Her the Money—and the moments that still make me emotional when I think about them. This episode is a celebration, a reflection, and a reminder of what happens when women refuse to compete and instead choose to collaborate. Grab a drink, settle in, and celebrate with me. ✨ In This Episode, I Share: How BRA Was Born The dinner party that sparked a decade-long journey—and why I realized women desperately needed a different kind of networking space. Why the BRA Directory Became Our Backbone How women naturally began hiring each other and keeping money flowing inside the community. What It Was Like Growing BRA Through the Pandemic How our online presence allowed thousands of women to find support, connection, and clarity when the world felt upside down. Eight Years of Women on the Rise The joy of honoring extraordinary women and raising nearly $100,000 for nonprofits that serve women and children. The Wealthy Woman Summit Why talking about money changed everything—and why charging our worth was a radical and necessary shift. Show Her the Money The powerful BRA collaboration behind the documentary and how women founders finally started getting funded. Moments of Pure Collaboration Magic Including the Everyday Action Gala where 20 BRA members came together in ways that still bring tears to my eyes. My Honest Thoughts on What’s Next Spoiler: I still have no idea—but entrepreneurship has taught me to climb every mountain with community by my side. 💬 Some of My Favorite Reflections “We were keeping the money flowing between us.” “Like most entrepreneurs, I had to learn everything in real time.” “Katie is the first one to show up—always.” “The peaks and valleys of entrepreneurship are so much easier when you’re not climbing alone.” “We hire each other, we charge what we’re worth, and we show up.”
