I talk to so many people who live in shame, shutting down after a herpes diagnosis.  Yet 1 in 4 people have herpes, and 80% don’t even know it!  It’s time to end the stigma.

In this languageoflovepodcast Session, I respond to a listener struggling with shame and fear after a herpes diagnosis. We cover:
- The truth about herpes—why it’s more common than you think
- How shame, not the diagnosis, is the real burden
- The best way to disclose your status to a partner with confidence
- Why you are so much more than your diagnosis

Your worth isn’t defined by a diagnosis. Let’s rewrite the conversation. Tap the link in my bio to listen now!
