Before we dive headfirst into the chaos of perimenopause, patriarchy and medical gaslighting, this prologue is your 101 guide to Rage Against the Vagine - the six-part podcast series from Em Rusciano that’s here to help you feel less alone and a lot more informed.

Think of this episode as your pre-game warm-up: what the podcast’s about, why we made it, and how it might just give you the language, clarity and validation you’ve been missing.

This isn’t medical advice, but it is a fierce, funny, and honest look at what so many of us are going through.

Episode 1, You Are Not (F*cking) Alone, drops on August 18 with new episodes every Monday through August and September.

Rage Against the Vagine is proudly brought to you by Wotif — it’s Aussie for travel.
