The Go-Bag

Start with whichever tool solves the problem directly in front of you.

The Kitchen Table
The parts that stay private until you decide to share them — the reset, the reread, the place to say the thing you haven’t said out loud yet.
Use the smallest tool that makes care easier to carry or share.
The Status Talk
Scripts and a printable page for talking about safer sex, status, symptoms, and testing — so you’re not relying on memory in the room.
Open the kit → Quick check-inThe Check-In
Name your current capacity, identify what is pressing, and choose the next realistic step without planning the entire week.
Start the check-in → Survival week templateThe Bare-Minimum Week
For the week where survival is the whole plan — the smallest version of care that still counts.
Open the template → Quick resetThe 5-Minute Reset
Five things, not five minutes of a performance — check them off in whatever order actually helps.
Start the reset → Read-throughThe Late-Diagnosis Reread
Same memory, new liner notes — eight prompts that reframe what looked like failure at the time.
Read it → Read-throughWhat “Fine” Costs
The most-played track on your whole album, and nobody’s ever heard the real version — what performing “we’re managing fine” actually costs.
Read it → Read-throughYour Unmasked Defaults
The liner notes only you get to read — six defaults to recognize as yours, nothing to write down.
Read it → Read-throughThe Old Ideas Are Going to Show Up. Let Them.
A single-prompt read for the old cultural scripts that show up uninvited — nothing to fill in, nothing to save.
Read it → Read-throughYou Don’t Have to Be a Nurturer to Show Up
A single-prompt read for the days “I’m just not a nurturer” feels like the whole problem — nothing to fill in, nothing to save.
