Could an STI be your ultimate permission slip for healing and changing your life for the better? Bek Antonucci would say yes, 100%. In this episode, Louise interviews the incredible Bek Antonucci about how her experience with herpes was  the most healing thing that ever happened to her.

Bek helps listeners understand:

✨ STIs are no big deal to some, and a huge deal to others - and WHY that is
✨ how to go beneath the iceberg of shame and stigma to identify your core wounds
✨ the concept of warmth vs. coldness, connection vs. isolation; and
✨ why she thinks that this is the least vulnerable thing about her

Louise also shares her thoughts and the pair discuss how important love, connection, care and warmth is in the space where cold, judgmental silence is the domineering emotion.

Who knew an STI could lead to such an inspiring and empowering journey of self-discovery? This episode is powerful, moving, life changing, and relevant for anyone who has ever battled something that made them feel 'LESS THAN'.
