MetaMoms: A Polyfamory Podcast

Whew, this is our most emotional episode yet. In this episode, Alysia finally gets to tell her story, her way. She walks us through what led to the fall out of her relationship with her dad and her experience navigating "no contact" as a result. It gets pretty heavy so if emotion makes you uncomfy, this might be your sign to catch us in the next one! Thank you to everyone who sent in sto...

You came with the heavy hitting questions and we're not ones to back down from a challenge. In this episode, we're in full advice mode, responding to your personal submissions about the moments that might be keeping you up at night. Coming out to the people you love. Moving in with a partner. Telling your family. Figuring out mental health support when your relationship is complicated. And...

Y'all had a lot to say.. and we listened! In this episode we're tackling the biggest misconceptions about polyamory straight from our followers mouths. The idea that it's all about s*x, that jealousy doesn't exist, that it's unstable, bad for kids, or that every polyamorous person is automatically into you. Spoiler: none of that is true. We're going deep on all of it, shari...

Today we're talking about one of the most misunderstood relationships in polyamory — the metamour, or your partner's partner. We kick things off with a little game of 'how well do we know each other', then we get into our own metamour journey; the messy beginning, the lessons, the unexpected beauty of it, and what we wish someone had told us at the start. We also answer your questi...

Alysia is back, baby! 🎉 This week on MetaMoms, we’re diving headfirst into some of your unexpected relationship curveballs — monogamous and polyamorous alike. We listen to your voicemails, offer some completely unsolicited advice, and reflect on the moments that make love, partnership, and communication so unexpectedly complicated. After the first one, we get real vulnerable and paused to private...

This episode is a little different. Tyler and I are finally, sitting down together to unpack the ending of our PolyFamily season on TLC—an ending that left everyone (including us) with more questions than answers. We talk candidly about the re-enacted, on-camera disagreement that became a major turning point: my decision to date outside the quad. What viewers saw was only a fraction of what had re...

It’s never too late to celebrate the people we love, so we’re finally surprising Alysia with your birthday voicemails! (Spoiler alert: she cries.)From there, we rewind a bit to share how we planned an over-the-top birthday surprise while Alysia and Tyler were in California… and how, despite our best intentions, it didn’t quite go according to plan. Because honestly? That tracks. Then we pivot from...

This is technically a Holiday Special but not the kind you might be used to. We kick things off with a game, sharing classic family holiday traditions and unpacking which ones we keep, which ones we’ve let go of, and how they look in our non-traditional family. We reflect honestly on how the holidays actually went for us this year and the why behind some of the choices we make for our family. We t...

In this episode of  MetaMoms , we’re cozied up in our Christmas jammies talking about how to navigate polyamory while mentally unwell (festive, we know)! This week, we get hilariously honest about jealousy, dysregulation, therapy mishaps, and the questionable coping skills that got us  through  but definitely didn’t get us any awards. We open up about what it’s been like to love inside a polyamoro...

In this impromptu episode, we finally got the guys to join us for a little Q&A! We kicked things off with a round of “Most Likely To”, plenty of laughs, a little chaos, and maybe a few surprising answers. Then we dove into some of your most frequently asked questions. This was our first time recording with all four of us, and of course, the second mic decided not to cooperate — so the audio is...

This week’s episode starts with a plot twist.. the mysterious story of Doug, the random cat who started sneaking into our house through the doggy door over two years ago… and basically never left. We’re talking all his sneaky moves, dramatic moments, and recent shenanigans before jumping straight into your randomly asked questions (Q&A starts around the 15-minute mark if you wanna skip Doug’s...

Things are getting messy on this episode of Metamoms. We’re finally pulling back the curtain on our time on reality TV. From 1.5 years of build up to 6 months of weekend shoots to surviving it all while deep in the throes of postpartum depression, this is the raw, unfiltered version of what it really felt like to "share our story".We talk about the exhaustion, the emotions we didn’t expe...

This week, we’re diving into the  wild world of legal gray areas  — where you can wipe butts, pack lunches, and survive toddler meltdowns, but still not technically be “Mom.” 🙃 We vent (loudly) about the total nonsense of doing all the parenting without the paperwork, and the creative, slightly rebellious ways we’ve found to make our family feel legit anyway. From navigating birth certificates to...

We’ve talked about the negative reactions to coming out — now let’s flip the script. What happens when friends get curious… and want to play? In this episode of  Metamoms , we dive into awkward flirty nights, questionable decisions from our swinging days, and the messy, hilarious, sometimes painful moments that come when curiosity meets desire. We also tackle jealousy head-on and get real about fa...

In this episode, we share how we landed our parental names, we rewind to the wild world of giving birth during Covid times, where masks, visitor limits, and FaceTime introductions were just the beginning. Plus the chaos of scheduling doctors appointments with four parents in the mix and how naming the kids became a group project with veto power (and wasn't afraid to use it). A little proof tha...

In this episode, we dive into the conversation that led us to growing our family, from initial resistance to the unexpected two vasectomy reversals that made it possible. We open up about what shifted out hearts, how we defined what "family really means to use and the contract that was proposed about having children together. It's a story about choices, change, and the unique path that br...

This week we’re digging into the receipts—literally. We share a painfully cringy old text where someone finally admitted their feelings (spoiler: secondhand embarrassment is real). From there, we get honest about how we broke down hierarchy in our relationship, what it was like to tell our kids about polyamory, and the messy ripple effects—estranged relationships, fallouts, and all. It’s emotional...

Buckle up, because this one’s for the grown-ups. In this episode, we straight up overshare about how we found ourselves in the swinging scene,  a few spicy stories, and all the dirty details about the night our quad first met. How we realized that we weren’t just “fun friends” and we get real about coming out, cringe-worthy “rules” we tried (and broke), the jealousy/insecurity rollercoaster, and h...

In this episode we’re talking all about life before the quad—meeting our spouses, falling in love, getting engaged, getting married, and we spill a little tea along the way. You didn’t come here for neat and tidy, right? Between 5 kids, 4 adults, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses, 2 chickens, a rabbit, and a TV show, we’re basically a farm, a circus, and a rom-com at the same time. This has been so much fu...
