I’ve always gotten nervous during pelvic exams. Years ago, my kind doctor gave me simple advice that stuck with me. “If you want to calm your mind, focus on wiggling your toes,” she said with a gentle smile. It sounded silly, but it worked — it gave me something else to think about. Over time, it became my little coping mechanism whenever anxiety crept in. I never thought it would lead to an unforgettable moment years later.
