Something Positive for Positive People

There comes a time where we spend so much time being drained by negative emotions that we just get tired. In that space we begin to discover something inside ourselves, a desire for change. Devin shares just how her being tired led to her discovery of her own power through one of the most uncomfortable things we can do being HSV+ and that's publicly disclose. Devin is on Instagram @lovealwaysdev and is the founder of Love Profound, a resource for women who want to tap into their courage to find peace and freedom after battling the shame of an STI diagnosis. As always, I'm on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr and Reddit @HOnMyChest. To show support for the show you can always leave an anonymous 5 star rating and review.

Why's it so tough to seek out what it is we need for support? I think identity validation is what we look for in support spaces. How do we find that? Who's the best source for it? I believe our people who knew us before are the key. .Here's why....

Functional Medicine Consultant Dr. Lacey Chittle shares information with us to best use our greatest healing tool, our body, to ease the symptoms of illnesses. This does include ways to boost the immune system to combat HSV expressions through the physical body. We're not talking about cures here by any means.

This episode has two very important parts. Many questions come in about disclosure to a non positive partner and many of us have been depressed or have been depressed about our diagnosis. This episode will definitely assist you in navigating some of those questions from the couple we interview here. I'm on social media @HOnMyChest where you can keep up with the latest updates on the podcast. If you're concerned about the association of the podcast with your followers and think they'll assume you have an STI for listening to these amazing stories then you can follow the hashtags instead: #spfpp #somethingpositiveforpositivepeople Stay Positive!

We live in a world where we can project ourselves to be whoever we want a person to believe we are in order to get what we want. We have to train ourselves to recognize red flags in situations and people while trusting them to be who/what they are and who we believe them to be. Tunnel vision this episode isn't in reference to overlooking those red flags, it's on focusing so heavily on your overall goal, that you completely disregard the other things about a person that make them special. This is a great episode for anyone recently facing a rejection to understand it was never about who you are, but totally on the other person for being focused on what you can/can't do for them. Rate, Review, Share and Subscribe to this podcast. If you don't feel comfortable following the @HOnMyChest accounts, follow the hashtags #somethingpositiveforpositivepeople and #spfpp. But whatever you do, Stay Positive!

The in person interviews sound and just feel better. Brittany was cool with recording in the grand studio of my closet. This one is very spirituality/emotionally focused and highlights how being in touch with your own intuition guides you to and away from like energies if you listen to it.

This is an important episode of Something Positive for Positive People. We talk about not disclosing. In the posts about this episode, there have been mixed responses from anger and rage to understanding. This episodes offers a a perspective we will never hear about in sex education, we're unlikely to hear from a partner in today's dating culture, and we will probably never hear this side of a story otherwise. Please be respectful in the comments about this episode. I'm not asking you to have an opinion, I'm asking you to respect this space as this platform is in fact dedicated to allow people to share their experiences despite how you may feel about them. We've already agreed to have Jewell back on after she finishes disclosing to past partners and once feedback from her circle is given on opening up about this challenging topic to discuss. I'd like this to remain a safe space for her to do so. Thank you in advance. Don't forget to call 833-YAS-LOVE and let Dating Positives know what you're hoping for romantically this holiday season!
