Carrie On! - Season 2, Episode 1

Written By Carrie Murray

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

  • 🗣️ Speak up—with doctors, daughters, friends, and policymakers

Revolutions don’t happen alone. They happen when women collectively decide they’ve had enough.
