In this episode, we speak with Vanessa, a ten-year HIV thriver who has transformed her diagnosis into a journey of power, advocacy, and deep self-trust.

Vanessa’s story invites us to release old scripts about sex, health, and worth. It’s a conversation about resilience, mutual accountability, and the quiet strength it takes to become your own source of healing.

Welcome to Season Four. We’re not just talking about shedding—we’re doing it. In our bodies, our breath, our choices, and our stories.
