Welcome to Blood & Guts. If you’ve made it here… you’re our kind of woman. 🩸

In this very first episode, we’re introducing ourselves, sharing how we met, and telling the story behind why this podcast exists.

What started as two women opening up about our own experiences quickly became something much bigger. We realised that, despite our age difference and completely different life journeys, we’d both carried shame around things that should never have been shameful in the first place. Periods. Bodies. Food. Sex. Mental health. The list goes on. And the more we talked, the more we realised we weren’t alone.

That’s exactly why we created Blood & Guts.

We also unpack the meaning behind the name and why we’re reclaiming a phrase once associated with battlefields to represent something completely different. Because our Blood isn’t something to hide, and it takes real Guts to live in a world that constantly tells women to be quieter, smaller, and less.

In this episode, we cover:

• How we met and the friendship that brought us here.
• Why we instantly connected through our stories.
• The reason this podcast had to exist.
• Why so many conversations about women’s bodies are still considered “too much.”
• What you can expect from future episodes… and trust us, nothing is off limits.

Whether you’re here for the education, the laughs, the occasional overshare, or because you’re tired of feeling like you’re the only one going through it, we’re so glad you’re here.

Grab a cuppa, chuck your headphones in, and join us.
