I’m like, ‘Four letters, all caps, just like ‘Sour’.” The choice of ‘Guts’ was deliberate, resonating with the multiple dimensions the word holds – courage, intuition, and self-expression. “I think it’s all of these things that coincidentally were things that I’ve really been thinking about in this chapter.”
