How can you turn a terrible experience into a mission driven purpose? It starts with being vulnerable and sharing your story. My guest Alexandra Harbushka’s life was sent into upheaval when she received a call from her doctor diagnosing her with herpes. Shaking, feeling like her life - her goals, happiness, and desires - had all just gone up in smoke, she was left scared shitless but with a new life path and mission. She founded Life With Herpes, an online community consisting of a podcast, a website, Youtube channel, wellness products to support the skin condition and an online community that provides support, all dedicated to shattering the stigma of living with herpes.

Before founding Life With Herpes and becoming a mother to her son Clinton and a wife to her husband Bill, Alexandra worked in corporate America. 

In this episode we talk about:

- Why is there a stigma around herpes? And where did it come from? 

- Sexual health and living with herpes

- How sharing your deepest secret can lead to your life's purpose.

- The power of vulnerability
