  • You Are What You Eat

    You've heard of junk food, now get ready for...junk media?

    In our second episode, we talk about what we consume, what we look at, what we read, and what we put into our bodies - good and bad! 😏This week's poem, self-care challenge, and affirmations can be found on our website, juicethepoet.com, until next week's episode!

    When we come out, it doesn’t always turn out to be a gay, rainbow-filled love-fest like we imagine. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community are often plagued by self-loathing, intimacy issues, depression, and anxiety. We’re constantly told that we should love ourselves, but how exactly are we supposed to do that?

    Happy Queer Mind is an LGBTQIA+ self-help podcast hosted by actor and poet, Jess Darnell.

    Each week, we'll break down common Queer issues with weekly positive affirmations, exercises, and original poetry to help change negative thought patterns, help break destructive cycles, and open up a space to support, affirm, and empower your spirit.

  • Thanks to All Our Kickstarter Contributors!
    Hi, everyone! Our Kickstarter Campaign to launch a Happy Queer Mind workbook has closed and I want to thank everyone for their generous support.
    Although the campaign was not as successful as I would have hoped, it is incredibly exciting to know that there is interest in this book and that there are people out there who wish to have it on their shelves and in their book bags and who want to work on themselves. I promise, you haven’t seen the last of it yet, so keep your eyes peeled for future updates.
    This podcast is small but mighty, and I want to send big love and hugs to each and every one of you!

  • How to Love Yourself

    We're constantly being told that we should go and love ourselves, but how can you find out how to love yourself? What is love? (Baby, don't hurt me.) This week, we talk about practicing self-love and whether or not wine and a bubble bath are actually worth the trouble. 

    The poem, "Bubbles" is by Jess Darnell.

  • See You in Church (Higher Power, Religion, and God)

    Happy Easter! We recorded this episode a while ago, but boy, oh, boy, does it seem timely, especially with all of the digital warfare over a certain Queer artist's music video going on...what's the big idea about Heaven and Hell anyway? Do you believe in God? Do you want to believe in God? Are you sick to death of Church talks and faking prayers at the dinner table? Fortunately, our relationship with the Creator of the Universe is our personal relationship - and it can be whatever we wish it to be. This week, while we meditate on regeneration, rebirth, and chocolate eggs, think about what you believe. This Easter, the question is not what do you believe, but rather what do you want to believe?
