Closing out the inside look of my process of doing "the work" on myself, I give you what I learned over my week off my HOnMyChest social media, an inside look at what my dating life has been and then the conclusion to it all, followed up by a discovery I made as a result of talking through everything you hear here. To top it all off, I share the best piece of advice I ever received which is to just know when to shut the f*** up. If nothing else is taken from this episode, I say keep in mind to hold

We honor the life of Nadiya Johanna Wortham this episode. Something Positive for Positive People began as a suicide prevention resource. Many of the conversations with our stigmatized individuals have included some trauma that has impacted their mental health to some extent leading to depression, suicide ideation and attempts in many cases. We meet with Grief Counselor, Christine Frampus, to discuss one aspect of mental health stigma, survivors of suicide. In this, we define trauma, suicide and

I really wanna shoutout Michelle Cassandra Johnson, author of the book, "Skill in Action". I attended a workshop she put together here in St. Louis at Brick City Yoga through Yoga Buzz where I won't give away much of what was shared beyond the meditation question, "Where am I from?". Meditating on this, I found myself back in a memory as if it were the present. I was in my child body experiencing the energy of the first home I lived in. The feelings made my body heavy and I managed to pull two

2020/02/18

The Gray Rule: Others Can Only Treat You (at best) the Way They Treat Themselves. Over the weekend I got a little bit sick and had to sit down for a while. During that time, I spent a lot of time in my yoga books and reflecting on what I was learning. During a meditation, something that came up for me was my view on disappointment. An ongoing narrative in my life has been, “When I get excited, I will be disappointed”. This stems from my dad issue. I thought if I reframed the narratives individually

At STD Engage, a conference of public health professionals hosted by the National Coalition of STD Directors, two of the hosts, Samantha and Rebecca shared the stage with an NCSD member sharing their experiences with health care providers in relation to sexual health. Rob, another host, shared their sexual healthcare horror story via video because they were unable to attend in person. Collectively, hearing these three experiences was enough for me to KNOW these had to be shared more for the sake of

2020/02/05

Leslie concludes episode 117 of Something Positive for Positive People sharing her own experience with herpes. We open up where we left off on part 1 of this episode with her form of attachment as a mechanism to survive abuse. We talk about how this shapes her relationship with rejection, shared trauma, and how there appears to be more acceptance of one's herpes status among queer and marginalized women than other groups.

Episode 117 Part 1: Politeness Serves Power

Something Positive for Positive People ·

2020/01/29

One of the more intellectual conversations I've had on this podcast is with the force behind the Instagram handle @makegodgayagain. This cis-queer-she/her pronouned - able bodied - white - herpes positive person talks through having grown up in an ists and phobic environment. We discuss the isms in the medical profession and we address how power is served by politeness in not wanting to do the right thing. This 2 part episode certainly challenges us to examine our own privilege, actions and

2020/01/23

Our guest this week shares her story with chlamydia after having missed the symptoms. We discuss the "what if?" that occurs prior to disclosures. Why do the same people who use herpes as a "shoo go away" tactic also get upset over stigma and rejection? Or is that just a coping mechanism? The big part of this podcast is the sexual shame piece and the spiritual significance of herpes. You can find a link to the full article here:

Lorrae is here to reclaim "slut" and empower women. We discuss the We Need a Button Campaign advocating for empathetic, queer friendly, shame free care and Lorrae's experiencing shame by care providers in the past. It's important that we receive this shame free care as it creates space for providers and patients to best work together in order for the best treatment to be provided.

*Trigger Warning* Reference to childhood sexual abuse* Our guest, David Wraith, showed up in my life at a time where I thought I was the only sex positive black, non-monogamous man in the Midwest. David brought into my awareness that questioning and exploring your sexuality as a man should be liberating and not something that just automatically makes you something that isn't heterosexual and he talks us through how we can navigate that. We joke about him being a retired sex worker and we talk about

2019/12/04

November 19-22 of 2019 I attended STD Engage. The most universal way I can think to describe it is that it was a conference of public health professionals where the goal was to exchange experiences in order to best serve those affected by STDs. What I learned cannot be condensed into the episodes I recorded while there, but this is definitely a start! I met and interviewed Amanda B. Dennison, Director, Programs and Partnerships about her experience. Amanda was diagnosed with genital herpes and as a

Along the way, he's met by a child who points out a heavy boulder on his shoulders, asking "why are you carrying that boulder?". The traveler hadn't thought about it before and set it alongside the rode and progressed with a straighter posture, standing proudly. Another stranger notices some weeds around the travelers ankles and knees which

There's a lesson on forgiveness to be learned here. I've always considered myself fortunate to not know where I got herpes from. Not knowing left me with no one to blame. What about those who have a firm belief they know exactly where they got it from and those who know due to having been informed? This podcast is for those people. Learning to take the lesson on forgiveness when you come to learn that there really is just no blame.
