The Taboo Truth About Women’s Sexual Health (They Don’t Want You to Know!) w/ Catherine Magee
Show notes
Catherine Magee is the CEO and Co-founder of Playground, a sexual wellness brand redefining what it means to care for women’s bodies. She has spent over 20 years working with brands like L’Oréal, bareMinerals, and Rodan + Fields to help women feel beautiful through skincare.
In today’s episode, Catherine brings a unique view to a historically neglected topic: women’s sexual health. She shares how she co-founded Playground, a sexual wellness brand built entirely around what women actually need, not what they’ve been told to settle for.
We talk about how disconnected so many women feel from their bodies, why it still seems like taboo to talk about vaginal health, and how those old beliefs are keeping women in pain, confused, and quiet. Catherine also shares the surprising FDA challenges of creating safe products for women and the role of education, equity, and humor in breaking these old myths.
We explore what real confidence looks like when it comes to intimacy, why so many women struggle with things like dryness or infections but don’t talk about it, and how products like lubricants have been misunderstood for decades.
If you’ve ever felt awkward, judged, or dismissed when it comes to your sexual health, join us today to break down shame, own your body, and feel empowered at every stage of your life.
