I think also for me, coming from this place of fear, it's like I almost like, manifested this person who was going to treat me that way because I had so much fear around it in the first place.
Emily Bailey, a yoga teacher and mother from Canada, takes the mic in this episode of 'Ride Your Stigma' to share her powerful journey through motherhood, STI stigma, and the trauma caused by an IUD. Emily’s story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring as she opens up about her experiences with STIs, particularly HPV, and the holistic methods she used for healing. Her candid conversation sheds light on the often-overlooked stigma surrounding herpes and other STIs.
Emily doesn't just talk about her struggles; she also dives into her healing journey through yoga, meditation, and breath work. She recounts how these practices helped her overcome deep-seated fears and traumas, particularly those related to her IUD experience, which left her in pain for years. Emily's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of holistic healing. She emphasizes the importance of educating others about STIs to break free from the stigma that often surrounds them.
Her journey is one of overcoming fear and embarrassment, finding strength in vulnerability, and embracing self-love.
