380. A big life update...

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/2e105c9a-40d4-41e8-80fe-b3e200ffd10a/transcript

Dating and sex can feel like they come with a hidden rulebook. You’re meant to be adventurous but not too adventurous, confident but not reckless, and always somehow immune to consequences. So the potential of catching an STI – whether it’s a scare, a diagnosis, or a message from a clinic – can feel not only a health impact, but also a judgement on our character.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology of STIs in our 20s why they carry so much shame, how stigma shapes the stories we tell ourselves, and what it looks like to navigate disclosure with self-respect.

We explore:
•        How common STIs really are
•        The most common infections in our 20s
•        The difference between treatable and manageable
•        The role of sexual shame and purity culture
•        How shame drives secrecy and avoidance
•        When and how to tell a partner, and what to do if you face rejection

If you’ve ever felt panicked, embarrassed, or stuck in your head about sexual health, this episode is for you.

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a2ed5312-a44d-4815-887c-b3e000d2449a/transcript

One minute it’s exciting, the next it’s endless options, half-conversations, and the dismissive feeling of being judged (or ignored) by people who don’t actually know you. In this episode, we’re getting into seven tips for surviving dating apps in your 20s, while looking at what they’re designed to do, why they can leave you feeling burnt out, and how to use them in a way that protects your confidence rather than draining it.

We explore: 
•        How dating apps are designed to be addictive
•        The rules to stick by to keep your sense of self
•        The importance of a clear and honest profile
•        Why they’re not a replacement for meeting in real life
•        Why you shouldn’t take anything personally
•        How to take a step back to avoid burnout

If you’re in a cycle of deleting and redownloading Hinge every few weeks, this episode is for you.
