Blood & Guts Podcast
Blood and Guts exists to make women feel less alone in the real, messy, and often unspoken parts of womanhood.
Periods. Bodies. Food. Shame. Cycles. Self-love and everything in between.
We’re creating a sisterhood where women can share, laugh, learn, and own their stories.
Leaving lighter, more connected, and reminded that no woman was ever meant to do this alone.
We are not here as experts or gurus.
Just two women with lived experience, open conversations, and a whole lot of guts.
