In this episode, you'll hear from Ella Dawson, a writer and author, talk about what it’s like dating after leaving an abusive relationship and being diagnosed with an STI. She has made it her mission to break the stigma around herpes and other STIs because they’re a lot more common than you’d think. In this episode, Ella explains how to bring up STIs in a way that won’t result in an awkward silence or breakup. Ella also shares her advice for anyone who has experienced or is experiencing an abusive relationship and what tools you can use to prevent another relationship like that.
