Kim Gargano

Holy & Hormonal is your new faith-based podcast where our host, Kim Gargano, kicks the door wide open on topics that are not typically spoken about in the Church, like how your period affects your faith. But seriously, can we talk about how hard it is to be holy when your hormones are raging?? From girl talk, to relationships and dating, to navigating life in your 20s, we are going to get real and vulnerable so you feel encouraged to step into your God-given calling and live freely in Jesus name!

    Are we losing reverence for God?

    Comfort can replace reverence for God. In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when we lose our awe of God — and how to return to a posture of wonder, humility, and holy fear without losing intimacy. @holyandhormonal

    The Waiting Season

    The waiting season can mess with your head a little — especially when it feels like everyone else is getting the things you’ve been praying for.

    Can you delay God's plans?

    In this episode we're reading through the book of Jonah—a book that’s way more relatable than we often realize. Jonah isn’t just about a man and a whale; it’s about running from what God asks, choosing the “easier” path, and learning what obedience looks like when it feels uncomfortable. We’ll talk about why God allows detours, how resistance can lead to deeper growth, and what happens when we finally stop running and say yes. Book Club is happening! Head over to @holyandhormonal for more details.

    How Your Menstrual Cycle Works

    Your menstrual cycle is so much more than “just your period”—it’s a monthly rhythm your body moves through with purpose. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how the cycle works in a simple, easy-to-understand way: what’s happening in the follicular phase, why ovulation matters, how progesterone impacts your mood and PMS, and what your body is trying to tell you through symptoms like cramps, bloating, acne, and fatigue. If you’ve ever felt confused by your hormones or frustrated that nobody taught you this, consider this your big-sis guide to finally understanding your body and learning how to support it with confidence. @holyandhormonal

    The Idol of Feelings

    In this episode, we’re talking about something most of us don’t even realize we’re doing—making an idol out of our feelings. When emotions become the loudest voice in our lives, they start calling the shots: what we believe, how we respond, and even how we see God. We’ll unpack the difference between honoring your emotions and being led by them, why feelings are real but not always true, and how to stay anchored in God’s truth when your inner world feels chaotic. If you’ve ever felt ruled by anxiety, overwhelmed by mood swings, or confused by your own heart, this one is for you. @holyandhormonal
