Season 4, Ep. 3 - Blood as Prayer: Menstrual Art, Body Shame Repair & the Sacred Feminine with Jasmine Alicia Carter
What if period pain, shame about your body, and feminine grief weren't problems to fix… but messages from your body asking to be witnessed, honored, and turned into art?
This cycle, I painted with my menstrual blood for the first time - holding grief, longing, and devotion in my hands, and something softened in me at a cellular level. Menstrual art is more than expression, it's a nervous-system-regulating, somatic practice that helps repair period shame and restore trust in the body.
In this episode, I interview Jasmine Alicia Carter on how working directly with menstrual blood can touch grief, release stored trauma, and reconnect women to the intelligence of their cycle.
If you've felt disconnected from your womb, struggled with your period, or longed for a more embodied way to heal, this conversation offers a devotional path back home.
