Live Your F*ck Yes Life

Last week, I went to a doctors appointment that I’ve been putting off for a couple of years out of fear. And the appointment brought up some stuff I’ve been pushing to the side to tackle head on since I found out I had the BRCA 1 gene mutation 3 years ago. All of you know that having the BRCA 1 mutation is linked to my risk to breast cancer, but what many of you probably don’t know is that it’s al...

You loved her the last time she was here and she’s BACK! Gabrielle Stone (she/her), a fan favorite on the Live Your F*ck Yes Life podcast, makes no secret about her past with toxic relationships & a cheating MF of an ex husband. And she’s shared it all in her best selling books and on her podcast and beyond. I’ve been having a lot of conversations in my DMs and with friends about the expectations...

Demisexual sluts unite. Okay, all jokes aside for a minute, today on the podcast, we’re deep diving into all things demisexuality. Whether you identify as a slut or not, you’re gonna LOVE this conversation where my friend and fellow polyamorous creator & educator Jess deep dive into our personal experiences coming into our demisexuality — and so much more.

TW: eating disorder cycles, bullying, queer shame, the holocaust, rape When I was thinking about how I wanted to start this season, I knew I couldn’t get into any conversation and bring anyone on before speaking to the deepest thread of my personal life these last few months and since the end of season 5. Which is why I am so excited to share this conversation and human with you. Dana Christy (the...

Happy start to season 6, my Live Your F*ck Yes Lifers. It always brings up so much gratitude for me when I kick off a new season of the podcast, and this one is no different. As always, on this podcast, we tackle taboo subjects that aren’t spoken to very often. And we’re going in that space this season, DEEP. And I ask that you come in, as always, with an open heart and mind. Create space in yours...

And just like that, we’ve come full circle and are at the end of this season of the Live Your F*ck Yes Life podcast. Which feels incredibly fitting to be ending at the beginning of Pride month since Amanda started this season with coming out as polyamorous. What. A. Season. On todays episode, Amanda reflects on the last two years of her life. On what coming into her queerness, and coming out has d...

Todays episode is a little different & fun — I’m answering some incredible community based questions around all things sexuality, polyamory and beyond. I haven’t done a q&a episode in a while, and while I answer questions all of the time on Instagram and Tik Tok, it’s really tough to really peel back the curtain and answer with any level of depth on those platforms. So today, we’re getting down an...

Has anyone else experienced weight gain during the pandemic? It’s something that I’ve been personally navigating and, as a human in recovery from eating disorder cycles and body dysmorphia, I have a lot of things to say on the subject. Check out todays episode for a deep behind the scenes dive into the struggles with loving our bodies and the experiences that Amanda has faced recently and the majo...

What is MRKH syndrome? Until I met Kylie, I had no idea either. When Kylie found out she had MRKH, she felt completely alone. And while it’s rare (1 in 5000 women have it), it’s something that many of us can relate to — whether we’ve had our own experiences around unexpected diagnosis that change our lives, any struggles when it comes to sex or infertility. Kylie is from Toronto, Ontario. She’s an...

On todays solo episode of the podcast, Amanda deep dives into her journey through heartbreak and grief over the last year of her life. Grief is a beast. And the last year has been a year where collectively and individually, we’ve been grieving in a deeper way than ever before. Friendships have shifted. Longterm partnerships have ended. And dating? Don’t even get her started on it. Check out todays...

This gal? She’s Eat, Pray, Love but with all the real talk and vulnerability and delicious messiness that is real life. She’s been through it all — a massive divorce post affair, heartbreak, a solo adventure trip to find herself. All of which led to her writing her book Eat, Pray, #FML — and in todays episode, we deep dive into all things love, heartbreak, grief, self love and beyond. Gabrielle St...

Vaginal Health. Pain With Sex. STI stigmas. As vulva owners, it can be incredibly frustrating to know what’s normal. From the moment we start menstruating, there are so many things to figure out — and little to no education around it. And it’s frustrating as f*ck. Finding a gynecologist that has been a true advocate for my health, and that I trust deeply, was a very important part of my own health...

In todays solo episode, Amanda candidly shares about her pattern of hiding — something she’s been actively working on in therapy for the past few years. She deep dives into the ways in which she’s hidden in her life — via her years of eating disorder cycles, hiding her goofy self because of her years of being bullied all the way to hiding her sexuality and propensity to polyamory. Wanna know how t...

I’ve been wanting to have a conversation around attachment theory and the various attachment styles on the podcast for a long time, and I knew as soon as I started reading Polysecure that I needed to have Jessica on to break it all down. Jessica Fern is a Psychotherapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and author of the book Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma, and Non Monogamy. In her interna...

In todays episode of our “Let’s Talk Polyamory” series of the podcast, we close out this mini series by talking about all of the benefits that polyamory has brought to our lives. Polyamory can bring up a lot of challenging things to the surface, but the rewards are amazing. So today, for our final episode of this polyamory series, we deep dive into the gifts that polyamory has given us, individual...

In todays episode of our “Let’s Talk Polyamory” series of the podcast, we deep dive into all things fear of abandonment and replacement. Todays topic really hits close to home for both of us, in very different ways. And it seems to hit close to home to many of you as well — next to jealousy, this has been our most requested conversation! Tune in to todays episode to hear all about: how we’ve navig...

In todays episode of our “Let’s Talk Polyamory” series of the podcast, we deep dive into all things perception. I get asked about this all of the time and I get it — I was wildly concerned about how I would be perceived / the reactions my friends and family would have before coming out as polyamorous. Not to mention how it would impact my online presence and beyond. So we deep dive into all of tha...

Ever since coming out as polyamorous, I’ve gotten SO many DMs and messages with really incredible questions from all of you. So I decided to do a special polyamory series of the podcast, and bring on my husband every week to talk about the biggest questions, fears & beyond that we receive to speak to these topics in a deeper way. The number one question I get? How do you navigate jealousy? So toda...

So many of you have been sharing with me that you’ve been having a global case of the “meh”s. Feeling constantly exhausted and not sure how to be/do/behave and beyond. I had another episode planned for today but after so many of you responded that you were also feeling this way, I decided to hop on the podcast and share a quickie episode about why it’s never been more normal for these feelings to...

I am so excited to share this conversation with one of my favorite humans who advocates for all things ethical non monogamy: the one and only Gabrielle Smith. Gabrielle Smith (she/her) is a Brooklyn-based sex and relationship writer. She specializes in looking at ethical non-monogamy, LGBTQ+ topics, mental health and sex-positivity from an intersectional standpoint. Her work has appeared in public...

…and the list goes ON on todays very special episode of the podcast when I celebrate turning 30 by sharing thirty things I would tell my twenty something year old self. I’ve been doing an episode like this since I started the podcast and it’s always my favorite way to celebrate my birthday and take stock of the lessons I’ve learned so I can share them with all of you. Writing these out, I got real...

I’ve been getting a lot of questions around what the ins and outs of me coming into my bisexuality, and I realized I’ve never dedicated an entire episode to this very important topic — and that changes today! In todays episode, I dig deeper into: the three big reasons why I didn’t own my sexuality until my late twenties the timeline of me coming into my sexuality why I didn’t have an intimate expe...

The “I Don’t Give A F*ck” mentality that everyone tells you you need to achieve in order to be a badass, confident goddess? It’s Bullsh*t. For the longest time, I have self identified as a people pleaser. At first it was seen pretty exclusively through a negative lens — and in many ways, it was something I *really* struggled with.  I gave so much of myself to everyone else that there was nothing l...

Anyone else feel overwhelmed AF this time of year? We’re already bombarded with messaging about “try this thing and you’ll magically be happy and healthy and madly in love with yourself” throughout the year, and this time of year, it comes out in MF intensity. I know your heart is endlessly seeking growth. Self awareness. Self Love. Healing. I’m right there with you, love. But I also know where th...
