About this listen
Elly shares what FEELS like a BIG “secret”.
This is a more nuanced conversation about shame, sexual health, body image and beauty than you may ever have heard before. So is it ok if we explore different perspectives and stay open?
Elly and V believe the shame around STIs really shouldn’t exist, as this just has people hide in the shadows where shame thrives. This candid share comes from the heart as a way to shed the shame and break the stigma around STIs/STDs, specifically HSV (“herpes”).
Herpes infections are very common.According to John Hopkins, 50 to 80 percent of (American) adults have HSV-1 and 1 in 6 has some form of genital herpes. The ladies share the stories of shame they carried, how they see it now and what they hope for those who have been or are on the same journey of shedding the sexual shame this virus often carries with it.
The ladies explore what may be a new perspective for you, that you could ACTUALLY leave a dis-ease in the past!
The conversation then transitions to the closely connected theme of body image.
Each woman shares the lies that they believed for so long, as well how you can start to deconstruct these beliefs by seeing how and where they formed.
We are all at different places on our self love journey, have different values and different goals. Elly and V share where they are at, and how being the best version of them NOW links to the way they see and feel their own body.
They also talk about plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures, self-care, rituals, and how much the WHY behind how you choose to present themselves matters!
Time to leave the shame in the past and step into your power?
