Join Missy, Jordan, and Tania as we chat with Bonnie Gross, award-winning screenwriter/executive producer whose personal journey became a full-on movie: LADY PARTS.

In this episode, she reveals how she took on her inability to have intercourse, her diagnosis with Vaginismus Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, her journey to sexual health, and took the big risk to share her lived experience with the world. The result of betting on herself is a script that captured audiences and won awards, including Austin Film Festival.

Whether you connect with Bonnie on her health challenges or are into storytelling, or just want inspiration to start your own creative leap…this interview is gold.

Enjoy!
