The 90-day challenge starts soon // Join Steph live on TikTok
the weekly live q+a on zoom, the private besties group chat, and a note from a member after she told someone

The weekly live Q+A · the private group chat · and yes, it really goes this well.

If you’ve been here

You keep researching. You keep looping. And it never feels like enough.

You replay old memories trying to figure out where you got it. You analyze every tingle and itch. You try to build a case your brain can finally accept. But it never does.

The noise quietly convinces you that you’re not allowed to date or have sex again until every possible question has been answered.

I did that for 7 years. So let me save you the other six.

What’s included

The room — monthly includes:

  • The 90-minute live weekly Q+A — women’s room Tuesdays 8pm ET, men’s room Thursdays 8pm ET.
  • The members-only community chat — real people you can finally relate to, between the calls.
  • Submit questions ahead — so yours gets answered first, anonymously if you want.
  • Founding-member perks — the lowest price this will ever be, for as long as you stay, plus a free 45-minute one-on-one call with Steph for the first 20.

Show up with your camera off, in the chat only, under a made-up name, or just sit back and listen. Cancel anytime.

Who it’s for

It’s for you if you’re ready to question the story you were handed about HSV, and you want a room of people who truly get it so you never feel alone in this.

It’s not for you if you want a magic overnight fix or empty promises — that’s the opposite of what happens here.

30-day money-back guarantee

If after your first session you decide the room isn’t for you — for any reason, or no reason at all — email accounting@yourbestiesguide.com within 30 days and I’ll refund you. No questions, no awkwardness, no hoops.

Delivery + refunds

Right after checkout you get your welcome page with the private-circle invite. The Zoom link for each week’s call lands in the private group. Drop-in sessions: pick your date at checkout and the join link arrives by email. Full details in the fine print below.

The weekly support group + live Q+A with Steph

Finally, a herpes support group where you don’t have to explain yourself.

The HSV support group you actually wanted — no backstory, no explaining, no proving you’re “still normal.” Just people walking the exact same path, and someone who’s lived it confidently for 10 years right there with you.

🔒 Secure, discreet checkout — your charge shows as “SS YBG”.

Is it private?

Completely. Camera off, audio only, chat only, or a Zoom account named djskfhd — all welcome. Sessions are never shared or posted. Your statement says “SS YBG.”

What is it?

Not a class. Not a webinar. A 90-minute live weekly support group + Q+A with Steph, plus a members-only group chat for everything in between. A women’s room and a men’s room, each its own space.

What’s in it for you?

Honest answers to the stuff you’ve been too afraid to ask anywhere else, from someone 10 years in — and a room full of people you never have to explain it to.

“With Steph, it was the first time in my life that someone’s first reaction was normal… like totally neutral. Because her response was so different, I was able to heal the trauma I still held on to from that support group experience. It’s wild how far kindness and understanding goes.”

Brooke, 22

“As a guy I felt like there was nowhere to talk about this without being judged, so I just avoided dating altogether. Steph was the first woman I told and her loving reaction alone healed something deep inside of me. Sometimes we really just need to be seen to realize we built HSV into a monster in our own heads.”

Marcus, 26

“When I got diagnosed I genuinely thought my life was over. I was spiraling every single day. Steph didn’t just make me feel less alone… she showed me how the whole story I was telling myself about it was harming me. I went on my first date since.”

Room member, 30

What it actually is

Not a class. Not a webinar. The support group you actually wanted.

The HSV support group everyone wishes existed — a room full of people living the same reality, where you never have to explain yourself and no one needs the backstory. 90 minutes each week where we slow down, go deep, and you finally feel less alone in it.

Connor was a self-made millionaire who I met in Hawaii. He taught me I was bigger than my diagnosis — and I’ll share exactly how he did that with you.

Bring literally anything

The stuff you’ve been too afraid to ask anywhere else.

Telling someone — the actual conversation
Dating after diagnosis
Rejection support
Sex & intimacy
Outbreak questions
Transmission concerns
Medication questions
Emotional spirals
Reviewing the text where you told them
Relationships
“Is this normal?”
Whatever else is on your mind

What’s included

Everything you need to keep coming home to yourself.

I.

The 90-min live weekly Q+A

Women’s room: Tuesdays 8pm ET · Men’s room: Thursdays 8pm ET — a full 90 minutes so we can go deep on your questions.

II.

The members-only community chat

The weekly community chat is exclusively for monthly members — a place to connect with others living the same experience. Real people you can finally relate to.

III.

Submit questions ahead

Also exclusive to monthly members, so your questions get the time first — anonymously if you want.

IV.

Founding-member perks

Lock the lowest price this offer will ever be, for as long as you stay.

How the room works

How your questions get answered.

1

Monthly members can submit questions ahead of time — those get answered first, first-come-first-serve.

2

After members’ questions, we open the floor to the whole room, so drop-in guests can ask theirs if there’s time.

3

Some submitted questions need a little back-and-forth with Steph — you’re welcome to do that with video on, off, or through the chat box.

Show up however you want

Camera off — audio only is always welcome.

Chat only — chat only is also welcome!

Absorb — or just sit back and listen. Odds are someone will ask something on your mind.

Anonymous — whatever gets you here. A fake email + a Zoom account named djskfhd is totally welcome.

The founding members’ group chat

A room full of people you never have to explain it to.

Founding members get a private, fully anonymous community — use any username, no real name, no photo — where no one needs the backstory, because everyone in there already lives it. This is where the real talk happens between the calls.

# General chat

Somewhere to talk with people you never have to explain this part of your life to. Real people who finally get it.

# Submit questions

Drop your questions before each Q+A so yours gets answered first — and I can prep little live deep-dives on whatever comes up.

# Just need to vent

For when you have an outbreak and just need to hear someone say “yeah… it actually does suck sometimes.”

# Tips + resources

Share what you’ve tried, the research and studies you’re digging into, the little things that actually help.

# Wins

Big and small — even the quiet mindset shift you know someone else needs to hear today.

# This week’s Zoom link

Where the link for each week’s live Q+A lands, so you’re never scrambling to find it.

Picture opening your phone at 2am mid-spiral — and finding a whole room that already gets it, awake right there with you.

steph, your host

Your host — hi! I’m Steph

Someone who’s actually living with it… freely.

I’ve lived with HSV for almost ten years — still get outbreaks, still date and have sex liberally.

I spent seven years rebuilding my relationship with sex, dating, trauma, and myself. And I’m obsessed with researching HSV — so you don’t have to carry the anxiety of what’s actually true online.

So when you bring me your questions, I won’t just nod along and reassure you. I’ll give you real, honest advice — and lovingly challenge the beliefs you were handed about what HSV supposedly makes you — until the story running your life is one you actually chose.

Why weekly

Real change doesn’t happen from hearing something once.

It happens when you have:

1

Someone showing you what’s possible.

2

A place to keep learning.

3

An environment that reinforces who you’re becoming.

Week after week.

Six months from now, if you stick with this, I promise HSV won’t be the loudest voice in your head anymore.

steph before and after her diagnosis

A month before my diagnosis / years later, HSV still ruining my self-confidence / who I became. Not only who I became, but the power and the energy I held — and that you will too, if you show up for yourself.

90 minutes a week for the next 60+ years of your life back.

You could have another 40, 50, 60 years ahead of you. Dating. Sex. Love. New partners. Marriage, if you want it. Wildly hot sex, if you want it. Beautiful intimacy, if you want it — and whatever else you decide belongs in your life.

90 minutes a week reshaping the story you carry into all of it is nothing next to dragging the old one behind you for decades — especially for less than the cost of your weekly Sweetgreen salad.

HSV may be lifelong. But the beliefs you inherited about what it means don’t deserve a lifetime contract.

This is the room where that starts changing — week after week. Even one session could change the entire trajectory.

A gift for the founding 20

Now that there are over 1,000 of you on the email list, I want to gift the first 20 founding members a lock-in at the lowest rate this will ever be — for as long as you stay. Plus a free 45-minute one-on-one call with Steph.

The room now runs as two separate spaces — a women’s room and a men’s room — each with its own weekly call and its own private group, so you’re only ever in a room with people walking your exact path. Pick yours below.

🔒 Secure, discreet checkout — your charge shows as “SS YBG” · right after checkout you get your welcome page with the private-circle invite.

A quick honest note… I’m not a doctor and this isn’t medical advice. I can’t promise you’ll get the exact same results I did in the exact same amount of time. What I can promise is that if you keep showing up to the room, you’ll build a life with more freedom, more intimacy, and more confidence around your diagnosis than you have right now.

Before you ask

The honest answers.

Can I stay anonymous?

Completely. Join with your camera off, make a fake email for your Zoom account, and use a jumble of letters as your display name. Ask in the chat, or just listen. You’re welcome to show up however you want.

What if I can’t make it live?

At this time I’m not uploading recordings — the room is live and in the moment on purpose. If you can’t make it but still have a burning question, you can book a quick 10-minute answer call with me for $14.97.

Book a $14.97 answer call

Do you offer one-on-ones?

At this time, Steph doesn’t do ongoing one-on-ones. If you just need a single question answered outside the live room, you can grab a 10-minute answer call for $14.97.

Grab a $14.97 answer call

Are the sessions recorded?

Yes — I record them for my own private research only, to keep making the room better. They are never shared, sold, or posted anywhere. That’s exactly why you’re free to keep your camera off, go audio-only, or show up as djskfhd@… with no face and no real name. Your privacy is the whole point.

Will this show up on my bank statement?

Your privacy comes first. Billing is discreet — the charge appears on your statement as “SS YBG,” never anything referencing HSV, herpes, or the group.

Is this a support group?

Yes — the one you actually wanted. A room of people who truly get it, so you never feel alone in this. The only thing it isn’t is a place to sit and wallow — we hold space for the hard days and keep pulling each other forward.

Who is this for — and not for?

It’s for you if you’re ready to question the story you were handed about HSV. It’s not for you if you want a magic overnight fix or empty promises — that’s the opposite of what happens here.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. The monthly plan cancels anytime, no awkward hoops. And your founding price is locked for as long as you stay.

Is this medical advice?

No. Steph shares lived experience and researched information for support and education — it’s not a substitute for care from your own medical provider.

The founding rate won’t last. Your next chapter can start this week.
