This isn’t your average sex education.

For Feeling Yourself

While there may not be rows of greeting cards and chalk-flavored mini hearts about it, self-love is essential on both Valentine’s Day and beyond. We Love You (And So Can You), Love From The Hyp with Sakura Sutter, and Tell Me What to Do with Jaime Primak Sullivan all feature countless episodes dedicated to celebrating what makes you the most lovable version of yourself, for yourself. And while self-love isn’t always the easiest thing to achieve, these podcast hosts and empathy experts will be with you every step of the way sharing pro tips and heartfelt advice.

For Cherishing Friendship

Many argue that the bonds between friends are often deeper than any romantic relationships in a person’s life. And even if that’s not the case for you, Valentine’s Day should be about all love, not just the love between significant others. On Best Friends with Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata, Lovers and Friends with Shan Boodram, and Don’t Blame Me!, hear segments dedicated to the complexities of human relationships beyond just the romantic ones. Whether you want to reconnect with a long-lost best friend or simply want to make Galentine’s Day count, don’t miss these laugh-out-loud stories, star-studded guests and words of wisdom

For Falling in Love

If you’ve been hit by cupid’s arrow or are hoping to be, tune in to Why Won’t You Date Me? with Nicole Byer, Modern Love, Committed, Love Letters, Homophilia, Double Date, and Love Shack Live to hear stories ranging from hilarious to heart-warming. Love isn’t one size fits all, and your podcasts shouldn’t be, either, which is why these various shows offer something for everyone (yes, even if you’re single).
