After Dark: Intimacy, Body Confidence, and Healing Beyond the Scars
In this deeply vulnerable After Dark episode of The Hidradenitis SuppuraDivas Podcast, hosts open up about one of the most taboo—and most human—topics in the HS community: intimacy.
From the emotional weight of postpartum changes to the long-term impact of body trauma and vulnerability in relationships, this raw conversation explores what it means to reconnect with your body after years of pain, shame, and healing.
💬 The Divas share:- How HS affects intimacy, confidence, and communication
- The emotional unpacking that comes with postpartum healing and body image
- Navigating vulnerability with partners—and learning to speak your truth
- Reclaiming your worth and redefining what intimacy truly means
This episode isn’t just about physical closeness—it’s about learning to love yourself again, communicating through the hard moments, and finding connection that goes deeper than the skin.
🖤 Whether you’re in a relationship, healing from past wounds, or rediscovering self-love, this episode reminds you: you are not alone.
