Self love is the best love. 

Hearts & Other Sex Parts, is a podcast about redefining yourself and your relationships.

The podcast is hosted out of Portland, Oregon by Keely C. Helmick, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in relationship counseling and sex-therapy, and Lindsey Jacobson, LGBTQ advocate and sex ambassador.

Both of the hosts identify as queer, cis-women, and intend to ensure that the podcast is inclusive and a safe space for all members of the LGBTQAI+ community, POC, all genders and gender non-conforming individuals, and all relationship types.

Each episode will typically feature an expert guest or group of guests, and discussions held will be strictly BODY AND SEX POSITIVE.

Five reasons why self care is sexy;

#1 it brings out confidence:

#2 Self care is sexy because it teaches you relationship building skills

#3 It gives you permission:

#4 it cures codependency:

#5 It makes you focus on you:

?You know what is sexy? Someone who knows themself. Let the vision and the voice inside be louder than the critics or haters and outside opinions. When you take care of you, when you make you a priority you are building yourself up and there is nothing sexier than someone who knows their worth. So I want to send you one last word of encouragement; you go out there this week and you stand up for what you want to do and give yourself what you need, even if it’s not what others want. You are worth it. And it becomes easier and easier the more you practice. I want you to do it, before you turn off this show, make a scheduled appointment for self-care. Take at least ½ hour this week and read a book, take a nap, journal, make a treat for yourself, take a long bath, turn off your phone and do it just for you, no matter what the back last may be. Because that is sexy as Duck

DIY - How to make the map it self: You’ll need:

1 piece of poster board (they come in massive sizes which is great, but you can always cut them to size),

you’ll need some different colored sheets of construction paper,

color pencils, markers, crayons whatnot

a mason jar or other sized circle shaped items that you can trace.

You might want to cut images out of some magazines, so you might need magazines.

You’ll want a glue stick

some scissors and;

a list of at least five goals or task or ideas that you are working with.

Again if you’re using the app, they walk you through all that.

How to

Step 1: cut out the five different sized circles,

write down your goals or tasks or ideas in bold letters on the circles you cut out

And glue them to your poster board

Then draw at least three solid lines coming out in different directions out from each main idea. Like spiders legs

And list out the supporting ideas, or the steps you’d need to take to reach that goal.
