Welcome to
Something positive for positive people
the best herpes Podcast
Since 2017, Something Positive for Positive People has used storytelling to help people feel less alone in the emotions that come with having a herpes diagnosis. 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 life with herpes and the stigma married to it.
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 herpes & heartbreak.
Yoga-Informed Insights. Reflections on how the koshas (layers of being), nervous system regulation, and atomic alignment show up in the healing process.
