having a pussy is a fucking project *
What if having a pussy really is a project - one with no roadmap, lots of surprises, and zero HR support?
Welcome to The Pussy Project, the podcast where we talk about all things pussy (yes, we said it) and laugh out loud while we’re at it. Hosted by Rachel Wilson - extrovert, deep feeler, and lifelong conversationalist - this show is a lighthearted deep dive into the very real experiences of having and loving a female body.
From periods to pleasure, pelvic floor therapy to perimenopause, first tampons to sex after birth, nothing is too awkward or off-limits. Each episode features honest conversations with women (and the occasional man who loves them) about the messy, magical, maddening realities of being in a female body. It’s not a comedy show, but we will laugh. It’s not expert-led, but you will learn. And it’s definitely not about victimhood, but you will feel empowered.
Whether you’re bleeding through your pants, syncing your cycle, exploring new toys, or navigating motherhood, menopause, or money - this is your permission slip to talk about it, laugh about it, and own every inch of your body’s story.
Because let’s face it: having a pussy is a project. But it’s one worth showing up for.
