Out Loud with Kennedy Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:45:05 -0400 en-us © 2026 Out Loud with Kennedy yes 097324d2-d99f-5b2f-bc31-52065a0ae56e Kennedy episodic true I’m Kennedy, and every week I’m speaking out loud about the things we usually keep to ourselves—dating, heartbreak, healing, friendships, mental health, identity, confidence, and everything that comes with growing into yourself. I also share honest conversations about living with HSV, breaking down stigma, answering the questions no one wants to ask, and making sexual health feel a little less scary and a lot more human.

Whether you’re here because you have HSV, you’re supporting someone who does, or you’re simply trying to figure out life one messy chapter at a time, you’re welcome here.

No shame. No perfection. Just real conversations, real growth, and saying the quiet parts out loud.

In the very first episode of Out Loud with Kennedy, I’m sharing the story behind why this podcast exists—from growing up feeling like I never quite fit in to navigating heartbreak, healing, and my HSV-2 diagnosis. We talk about the power of community, learning to let go of labels, and why I believe vulnerability can change lives.

I also open up about the day I was diagnosed with HSV-2, the shame and isolation that followed, how sharing my story publicly transformed my life, and why I refuse to let stigma have the final say.

Plus, we’re kicking off two recurring segments:
 • Song of the Week: “Dashboard” by Noah Kahan and why it unexpectedly became part of my healing journey.
• Les Be Honest: Why it’s time to have honest conversations about HSV, sexual health, and ending the stigma through education.

Whether you’re here because you’re navigating HSV, healing from heartbreak, questioning your identity, or just trying to survive your twenties, I’m so glad you found this little corner of the internet.

Welcome to Out Loud with Kennedy. You’re not alone anymore.
