In this special episode of Beyond the Bleeds, Heather and John take bleeding disorder awareness beyond the clinic and into the community. From downtown Green Bay to St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin, they hit the streets to ask everyday people what they know about hemophilia and other bleeding disorders—and the answers might surprise you.

With March recognized as Bleeding Disorder Awareness Month and World Hemophilia Day approaching on April 17, this episode brings real conversations to the forefront. From common misconceptions to thoughtful responses and a few laughs along the way, it highlights both the gaps in awareness and the importance of continued education.

While bleeding disorders impact thousands of individuals and families, there’s still work to be done in helping others truly understand what that means. Episodes like this show how simple conversations can make a big impact.

Watch or listen to the full episode to hear real responses, learn more about bleeding disorders, and see how awareness starts with everyday conversations.
