Pregnant and Testing Positive for Herpes with Shana Singleton

Raw, Real & Vulnerable with Bek Antonucci

A new found herpes diagnosis and the news of an unexpected pregnancy delivered to you on the same day, in the same moment. How would you deal with it? Who would you turn to? How do you cope with such life changing information?

On today’s episode, I sit down with Shana Singleton, the woman behind “Slay the Stigma.” Not only is Shana a distinguished United States Army veteran and a mother but ALSO a world renowned herpes coach. Shana works with women to minimise their outbreaks, to break us free from internalised shame and inspire all people to practise deep self-love.

Together we cover:

🦋 Why disclosing your sexual health history needs to be the responsibility of BOTH partners

🦋 Exploring HOW healthy sexual communication makes intimacy even BETTER

🦋 What to tell your OBGYN to have the best possible outcome in your HSV+ pregnancy journey

🦋 A tool to help shift your mindset out of SURVIVAL and into self-love and ACCEPTANCE

…and so much more.
