"It's Okay to Not Be Okay"

Hey all! And welcome to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast. Have you found yourself wondering if you are a thing (neurospicy, queer, trans, etc.) only to realize that people who aren't that thing almost NEVER wonder the same thing about themselves? We sure have! And today, we're going to take a deep dive into the process of questioning - what it says about you, why it's important, and why its ultimately key to growing as a human in this world.If that sounds like your kind of thing, then put those headphones on, make sure you have all of your emotional support beverages handy (one for refreshment, one for flavour and savouring), press play, and join us on yet another rambling 40 minute diatribe....admit it - you love us for it! :P Arthur is a registered trademark of PBS/Marc Brown Studios, all rights reserved.Star Trek is a registered trademark of CBS/Paramount, all rights reserved.

I think this one is pretty self explanatory folks - especially in light of everything going on. In this episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, Becca and I take a minute to open up about how we're feeling about events in our lives and the world in general, what we're doing to self care, and how important it is to look after ourselves. After all - any horrendous event (or series of events) in life is a marathon, not a sprint, and sometimes the most powerful act possible for any of us is simply to survive and build community with each other. We here at The Neurodivergent Polyamorist have said it before, and we'll say it again - it's okay to not be okay. And this community we've built will always be a safe space. We promise. <3If that sounds like a message you want (or need) to hear right now - we get it! So put those headphones on, grab your five different drinks (some for sipping, some for hydration after all :P), hit play, sit back, and join us. We promise not every episode will be so serious, but this is one both of us felt it was important to do.Oh! Also! We have a Bluesky now! Go ahead and add us at '@neuropolyampodcast.bsky.social'. We'll be posting there about our new content in addition to the Facebook page, so please follow if you haven't already! ...And most importantly? Stay safe out there, fellow kinksters, queers, and weirdos. We love you. <3Star Wars is the property of Disney and 20th Century Fox. All Rights Reserved.

Hey all! And welcome to the latest episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast - the show guaranteed to both make you laugh, and lose the plot...often all at once! (Thanks ADHD) In today's episode, we talk all about the hypocrisy that often comes up whenever polyamorous (or queer, or otherwise nontraditional) relationships are discussed in public. It's so common to hear things like "...well that never works" and "but which partner is your favourite?" when opening up about being polyam, and it's something that drives both of us nuts! So today, dear listeners, you get to hear us rant all about it! You've been warned XD. If that sounds like your cup of...some warm beverage of some kind (or cold! We won't yuck anyone's yum), then pop those headphones on, click play, and join us on another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast. Now with 10% more meandering diatribes and references that only we get. You're welcome. ;) Star Trek is the registered trademark of Paramount. All rights reserved.

Late enough to have JUST missed Halloween (thanks ADHD), and just in time for the American Election - this episode is all about dealing with difficult family conversations and dynamics at this time of the year. We have a bit of a rant/tangent (a rangent, if you will?) exploring this head to toe.So if that sounds like your kind of an episode topic - plug those headphone in and click play.

Hey all! And welcome back for Season 4! It's a thing almost every neurospicy human has experienced: you've been sucked in to a favourite movie, book, or video game, or you're making great progress on that creative project you've been plugging away at for a while now. All of a sudden you look over at the clock and --CRAP! YOU'RE LATE! Such is life with time blindness, and it's a struggle we here at the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast know all too well. If you also resonate with this, then come along with us today as we talk all about time blindness, how it affects us, how to ask for accommodations, and more. Enjoy!

Hey all! And welcome to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! Now, some of you may recall (from our social media posts and prior episode mentions) that this weekend was supposed to mark our appearance at the Midnight at Dawn Kink Convention in Sudbury, Ontario. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled. But Becca and I decided - hey now, why let that stop us? So we wrangled in friend of the podcast and fellow con exhibitor Laura from Alex Deviant Creations and decided to try to simulate the kind of shit-shooting conversations we would have likely had as booth neighbours at the actual convention. What followed was a robust chat where we discussed everything from the importance of community building, to when to give grace when people mess up on our queer identities, vs when to tell them where to go. (Spoiler: it comes down to whether or not they're genuinely trying in good faith and if they're open to learning better/doing better, though of course your mileage may vary). So if that sounds like your cup of tea (or coffee...hell, even energy drinks for those of you among us who are feral gremlins), then put those headphones on, sit back, relax, and join us!

Alright everyone - suit up and report to the Blackbird in 5; we're going on an adventure with the X-Men! It's no secret that Becca and I are MASSIVE nerds, and the X-Men in particular have always been near and dear to both of our hearts. With the recent release (and conclusion) of season 1 of X-Men '97 on Disney+, we felt the time was right to do a deep dive into why we love these characters, how they resonate with both of us, and how the X-Men have always been a powerful allegory for those of us who are different. So if that sounds like your cup of tea - sit back, put those headphones on, sharpen your adamantium claws, and stay tuned for another fantastic episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast. ...oh and also? Magneto was right. ;) NOTE: Please forgive the audio quality in this one. I had some internet issues while we were recording, which resulted in some choppiness. I did my best to correct for it (and to re-record whole sections where it got too bad to salvage) but I couldn't eliminate all of the bugs. Sorry about that!

Hey all! And welcome to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! Did you know that polycules don't have to be romantic? Well they don't! And this month, we talk all about how our platonic polycule works, how relationships and love can take many forms, and how its silly to try to fit them into strictly defined boxes. We also take some pot shots at Autism Awareness in the spirit of April (because remember folks - we already have enough awareness. What we need is acceptance and understanding!). So if that sounds like your cup of tea, then put some headphones on, lay back, relax, click play, and join us on another rambling audio journey!

--CONTENT WARNING: SENSITIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT RELIGION AND TRAUMA-- Hey all! And welcome to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast. In this episode, we go all in on exploring our religious traumas, where we got them, how they play off of our neurospicy brains, and where we go from here. This is understandably a very potentially triggering episode because of it, so if any of you want to sit this one out, we completely understand. Feel free to come back next episode - no pressure! If, on the other hand, that sounds EXACTLY like your cup of hot leaf juice (I've been watching Avatar, don't judge me :P), then put those headphones on, grab your water, hit play, and come with us as we go down the religious trauma rabbit hole! ...oh, and please forgive some of the audio weirdness. I tried my best to correct for it, but for some reason the recording got weirdly accelerated in some spots. Star Wars is the registered trademark of Disney. All rights reserved.

--ADULT CONTENT WARNING: DISCUSSION OF KINK, SEXUALITY AHEAD-- Hey all! On this week's episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, we have a special guest star - our new friend and one of our two kink con booth neighbours, Laura of Alex Deviant Creations! She is queer, kinky, polyamorous, and a proud member of the ADHD club, having been active in the Greater Toronto and Ottawa kink communities for about 15 years. She also teaches english as a second language by day, and works with her partner Alex to sell custom made paddles, dickasauruses, and other awesome creations by night. Today, we asked her to share with us her experiences as a kinkster, polyamorous person, and neurospicy human, and the ways that those identities have interacted in her life. We had an amazing discussion, and are really excited to share it with you! So if that sounds like your cup of tea, then throw those headphones on, lay back, click play, and join us on a debaucherous, fun, kinky, and wild ride this week. ...after all - what else are rubber chickens and precious moments bibles for? ;)
