The Neurodivergent Polyamorist

We're tired, friends. But don't worry - this IS NOT YET ANOTHER BURNOUT EPISODE! This month, we commiserate over the state of the world, how it all makes us feel, and the importance of not making perfect the enemy of good. It's a frank, real, and cathartic episode that ends in a hopeful place, and we can't wait to share it with all of you! So if that sounds like something you'd...

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 de...

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...

... .... ......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...

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 Tre...

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 i...

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...

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...

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. And join...

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&#39...

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 fr...

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 char...

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 s...

--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...

--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 comm...

Have you ever been accused of taking things too literally? Has anyone ever told you that you have an overly strong sense of justice? Are you neurospicy? If you answered yes to that last one, I'm willing to bet you answered yes to at least one of the previous two questions as well. And the thing is? Same over here for both of us! Black and white, rigid thinking and having a strong moral code te...

Happy Halloween to all of you out there in interwebs land! For this episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, we had a chance to record in person, and even bring in a guest star - Becca's partner (and my platonic metamour I suppose...what with the whole 'Platonic Life Partner' thing :P ) Gigantor! The three of us were finally in the same room together recently, and decided to...

That's right folks! It's yet again ADHD Awareness Month, and in what has to be the most appropriate turn of fate ever, we almost forgot to do this one. Because of course we did! ...ahem! Anyway! Despite our initial near-miss, we nevertheless pulled ourselves into semi-functional states long enough to put together an episode all about our own struggles, triumphs, and reflections on life as...

Hey all! And welcome back to another episode (and another season!) of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! Becca and I each had a very difficult summer, though also a very memorable one, and we'd love it if you join us while we recap our trials and tribulations! Along the way we do our usual rambling, meandering thing - going from relationship configurations to trauma responses, and everyth...

Aaaaaannnddd that's a wrap! Welcome everyone, to the season 2 finale of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, and thank you for sticking with us every step of the way. In this very special episode, we take a minute to reflect back on our journeys, both as humans and with this podcast, and to honour the amazing people and turning points in life that have made us who we are. Because in the wor...

Hey all! In this very special (and penultimate) season 2 episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, we explore Becca's unique experiences as someone who lacks the ability to see images and hear voices in her head. Aphantasia is a fascinating and unique form of neurodivergence that is more common than many people realize, and we felt it was important to highlight it here on our show. Af...

**TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month, Ableism, etc.** Hey all! Happy Autism Acceptance Month! In honour of this...shall we say...difficult month for neurospicy humans, we've decided to put together a very special episode all about our own journeys towards self-acceptance. Because this month is a hard enough time of the year - what with all the ableism and well-meanin...

Hey all! Isn't it funny how there's a societal expectation that we must dislike our partners? Strange, huh? In this week's episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, we talk all about how the media seems to love to perpetuate the idea that disliking one's partner (or partners) is normal, and that its somehow the ones who don't who are the weird ones. Please note - we ar...

Hey all! We're super sorry for the impromptu one month hiatus, but both of us ended up being hit with quite a bit of life stuff at the same time, and as a result we're each feeling a little burned out. Now that we're through the worst of it though, we figured it would be a great opportunity to revisit the topic of burnout. Specifically, we wanted to put out an episode that talks all about the nerd...

Hey all! And welcome back to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! In this episode, we talk all about how our favourite shows, movies, and books could all be made better by better representing queerness, neurodivergence, and ethical nonmonogamy within them. After all, one of the best ways to make sure people don't feel alone in this world is by representing all kinds of differ...
