Something Negative for Positive People
Take the lessons from the losses
Something Positive for Positive People Podcast Episode 144
Taking the lessons from negative experiences help us uncover who we really are. At this event, I wanted to create a space where everyone could openly discuss herpes since usually at the events, there's no reason to since we all are already positive. Being able to reframe our worst HSV experiences to have had a lesson and hear others' perspectives makes talking about it outside the groups easier.
