Welcome to the SPFPP
Stigma Minimization Podcast
Storytelling, Stigma Healing, and Presence Practice
Since 2017, Something Positive for Positive People has used storytelling to help people feel less alone in the emotional weight of stigma. What began as a herpes support podcast is now a space where anyone navigating identity-based stigma—around mental health, sexuality, race, relationships, or simply being human—can come to feel seen.
If you’ve ever felt disqualified from connection because of how the world responds to who you are, this podcast is for you.
We don’t give quick fixes. We hold space. Every episode is a reminder that your existence is not a problem to solve—but a presence to be witnessed.
What You’ll Hear:
Real Stories: People share what it’s like to live, date, and love while navigating stigma.
Identity and Presence: We explore how presence helps people reclaim their identity beyond what the world expects.
Practical Tools: Guidance for disclosure, emotional regulation, and navigating relationships in ways that honor your truth.
Guest Conversations: We bring in experts and everyday people to talk about healing through herpes, heartbreak, queerness, shame, spirituality, sex, masculinity, and more.
Yoga-Informed Insights: Reflections on how the koshas (layers of being), nervous system regulation, and atomic alignment show up in the healing process.
Why This Podcast Still Supports People with Herpes
Herpes might’ve been what brought you here—but stigma probably isn’t new to you. Whether it’s been around your sexuality, mental health, masculinity, queerness, race, or just feeling like you don’t fit, stigma tends to stack.
This podcast still holds space for people navigating herpes. We’ve got hundreds of episodes about disclosure, dating, and identity. But over time, it became clear—herpes stigma is often the doorway to deeper healing.
If you’re here for herpes support, you’re in the right place. And if you’re starting to realize there’s more beneath the surface, you’re still in the right place.
We’re here to help you live with stigma—but not be defined by it.

SPFPP 378: Declaration of Remembrance
I didn’t choose this pause—life sat me down. After everything fell apart, I had no choice but to do nothing. And in that stillness, I heard something that changed everything: remember who you are.
SPFPP 371: Presence Over Performance
Astrologer and metaphysical practitioner Tasha Beg joins Courtney Brame for a deep dialogue on ego death, spiritual rebirth, and the power of presence. With stories of identity unraveling and cosmic reflections on shame, this episode invites us to stop performing and come home to who we already are.
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.
