Herp A Derp PodcastWhy?Hey Herp A Derpers!
September also brings the end of summer feels. Today’s episode will be a great reflection of it! I attended pride parade on my work’s float. What a BLAST! I got to chat with a few peeps from the LGBTQ community to ask about their experiences. Can’t wait to share with you clips on my day, experiences, support and love all around. End of summer also marks discovering my diagnosis those years ago. Which also makes myself always ask the same question, why is there no cure?

That if we really want to change, we have to change our envir...2019-01-1522 min

Remember, you are not alone! It might feel scary to admit you have herpes, but talking about things can really ease your mind.
You could lean on a close, non-judgmental friend that you trust to keep the conversation private. Family members can also be a source of comfort.
Remember, herpes is really common, 1 in 6 people in the US have herpes. So it could be possible the person you’re talking to has h...2019-01-1515 min

Soooooo…. when herpes … stops being … a burden, it can be opportunity: to change your own beliefs…I mean, to hold real connections for a deeper sense of self —Herpes does not define you.
