3 Un-obvious benefits of having herpes

3 Un-obvious benefits of having herpes

This is the second episode in the herpes series. There is so much misinformation out there about herpes, consequently, there is a huge stigma that comes with being diagnosed with the virus. My intention for this series is to open dialogue about herpes and to help de-shame the experience for those who test positive.

I want to reiterate, if you test positive for herpes and you are struggling with the diagnosis, know this… you are not alone.

The Top 5 Herpes Myths - Debunked

The Top 5 Herpes Myths - Debunked

This is the first in a series of episodes all centered around herpes. There is so much shame and such stigma that comes with testing positive for herpes.

This series is aimed to reduce the stigma, to let you know that you're not alone if you test positive, and to inform those of us who may be ignorant to the truth about herpes.

If you test positive for herpes and you are struggling with the diagnosis, know this... you are not alone.

How's your heart?

How's your heart?

Your heart (literal and metaphorical) heart is a compass. It directs your emotions and dictates your choices. Your heart is the reason that you love the nouns (people, places, and things) you love.

Your heart regulates your calm and ignites your excitement. It triggers adrenaline and opens the floodgates for oxytocin. Your heart is the brains of the operation...

How often do you listen to your heart?

And when you listen, do you heed what it says?

2018 is in the rearview and it wrung everyone the fuck out... including me. But we made it. So now what?

Grieving your period, longterm love, and being f*cking amazing w/Caitlin Grace

Most of us aspire to be in the kind of relationships that make us feel nourished.But all too often our relationships fall short. Perhaps because we attract people who do not have the capacity to offer what we need. But if we're honest, sometimes we are the ones who do not have the capacity to hold that which we desire most.

My sisterfriend Caitlin Grace models what it looks like to not only be in partnership with someone who adores her but she is also the kind of woman who can hold space for BIG love
