ADHD is the most recent addition. Trainor said she was diagnosed in early 2026 after recognizing traits in her own kids, and that medication plus therapy has helped enough that it “explains a lot.”
The rest she’s been working through publicly for years on her podcast Workin’ On It with her brother Ryan. She’s said she spent most of her life thinking painful sex was normal until a doctor told her she had vaginismus, a pelvic floor condition that causes the muscles to spasm during penetration. The pelvic floor dysfunction and sciatica are tied to the same area and got worse postpartum.
The IBS and recurring anal fissures she’s talked about on TikTok and radio with the same matter-of-fact tone, including sharing remedies like dragon fruit for constipation. Fissures are typically caused by hard stools and straining, which lines up with her IBS.
The PTSD came from a traumatic C-section with her first child. She told TODAY she’d wake up at night feeling like she was still on the operating table. The anxiety and panic disorder go back further, including a panic attack on live TV and ER visits she first discussed with People in 2021.
She’s framed all of it as part of the same ongoing conversation about what postpartum bodies and brains actually go through, and what nobody warned her about going in.
