Rules! Rules! Rules! Why Rules and Black and White Thinking Can Be...Complicated

We've all been there as neurospicy humans: you wade into a situation thinking you fully understand what is required of you, only to find yourself in deep deep trouble for violating some rule or expectation you didn't even know existed. And when you ask for clarification? You get in even DEEPER trouble!If you found the above both exhausting and so SO relatable, then you aren't alone dear listener! In this episode, Becca and I do a deep dive into the complicated relationship we both have with rules. And if you're wondering why we're a little late releasing this? Well you see, friend, we have a rule about trying to record once per month in a timely enough fashion so that I have ample time to edit! But...well...again - we both have a complicated relationship with 'the rules.' :PSo if that sounds like your kind of episode, great! Put those headphones on, get comfy, hit play, and join us in another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! Where rules are for suckers!....unless they make sense to us, or we made them ourselves...IN WHICH CASE THEY ARE SACRED AND MUST BE FOLLOWED!!!!

Hello dear listeners! If you're anything like us, then you too know the terrors involved in trying to keep up with societal standards around things like doing dishes, cleaning your living space, etc. as a neurodivergent person. It's utter hell...and this episode? We're going to talk about it!If that sounds like your kind of way to spend half an hour or so, great! Pop those headphones on, grab those standby beverages (one hot for savouriness, one cool for refreshment!), and join us for another episode of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast!

.............Look at this point I think it's only fair to remind everyone that we're neurodivergent, 2025 was a crazy year, and we might have low key burned out and needed some time away. We're very sorry though! And we're back! We promise! ...seriously! We're good for it this time!All joking aside, welcome back to the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! We're officially back from our *slightly* longer than expected hiatus and fully intend to both explain ourselves and catch up with you, our beautiful listeners who we love very much in this, the first episode of our fifth (wow!) season!So if that sounds like your cup of tea, coffee, or whatever else? Then grab those headphones, relax somewhere cosy, and brace yourself for a new episode of this podcast that honestly even both Becca and I are low-key impressed we've been able to stick to for all these years. :P Star Trek, and all related visual and verbal references are the property of Paramount/CBS, all rights reserved.Halloween, and all related visual/verbal/audio references are the property of Trancas International Films and Miramax, all rights reserved.

Hey all! And welcome to a very special (and late - though that should come as no surprise) episode of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! This month, we reflect back on April, and talk about the people in our lives who helped shape who we both are as people. We also get a little into politics, and talk about the hypocrisy of organized religion. We even cap it off with not one, but TWO Star Trek references! To make that three and quote everyone's favourite 'plain simple tailor,' "I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain!" XDSo if that sounds like your cup of...whatever beverage you'd prefer, then put your headphones on, lay back, and click play.

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!
