A Non-Consensual Relationship with the Body
Courtney and Monica Laipple from the Invisible Not Broken chronic illness podcast come together to discuss living with a body that goes against your will.
Something Positive for Positive People Podcast Episode 139
Monica Laipple is the host of the podcast, "Invisible Not Broken," a chronic illness and disability podcast. Monica and I connected on a joint interview with Lauren Selfridge's podcast, "This is Not What I Ordered" and connected right away. I asked Monica how she was always able to keep pushing despite her body's constant rejection of her will and ideas because I believe there is much to be learned from her experience with rejection. Her body is rejecting her rather than how a person living with herpes may reject their body. The perspective here is amazing and I hope you are able to take away something that connects with you.
COMMENT
The way someone perceives another's level of confidence depends on whether they are in alignment with our authenticity, as Courtney and his guest Brenda discuss in this episode about surviving HIV.
Even in the sex-positive community, it's still important to be mindful about those with whom you share your herpes status. You can't always know someone's intent.
