The SPFPP Podcast: Real Stories. Real Support.

Since 2017, the Something Positive for Positive People podcast has been a free resource for anyone navigating the emotional, relational, and social impacts of a herpes diagnosis.

Through honest conversations, guests share what life really looks like after testing positive—how they date, disclose, manage shame, and build meaningful relationships. You’ll hear experiences that reflect your own or reveal new possibilities for moving forward.

What You’ll Hear:

  • Dating with Herpes
    From casual sex to long-term commitment, guests share how they communicate their status and build relationships that work for them.

  • Stigma & Identity
    How people reclaim their sense of self after diagnosis and rebuild confidence on their own terms.

  • Sexual Health Conversations
    Tools for navigating safer sex, honest communication, and deeper relational alignment.

  • Alternative Relationship Styles
    Insights on non-monogamy, queerness, and connecting beyond traditional relationship norms.

  • Emotional Healing
    Stories of grief, growth, and self-acceptance. Often, herpes is the distraction—not the root. These episodes explore the deeper patterns that diagnosis brings to light.

If you’re ready to share your experience (anonymously if you’d like), please fill out the podcast guest intake form below and we’ll reach out to interview you!

SPFPP 370: The Spiritual Significance of Stigma Through an Atomic Lens

This episode is my spiritual coming out—on my terms. I finally language the cosmic structure that guides how I live, heal, and support others through stigma. I’m not chasing impact. I’m embodying rhythm. And for the first time, I feel my own gravity.

This is the Living Like an Atom episode. If you’ve ever felt lost, labeled, or judged for your desires or your diagnosis—this one's for you.

Remember your proton.
