MetaMoms: A Polyfamory Podcast

Daddy Issues

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 stories, reflections, and advice around being no contact with family. There were so many submissions that we actually had to break this topic into two parts. Part 2 will be up soon, where we share some of those community reflections and some reflections of our own.If you are someone who is no contact and you walk away from this episode with anything, please know that you are not alone. Conditional love seems to thrive when we are simply living our truths. We see you, we're proud of you, and you are not alone in this.

The Biggest Misconceptions About Polyamory — Debunked

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, sharing what love, commitment, and family actually look like inside our quad and how it's unlike anyone else.

The Relationship Nobody Talks About

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 questions from Instagram. Whether you're polyamorous, polyam-curious, or just someone who loves a good story time, this one's for you.

Responding to Your Relationship Curveballs

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 privately navigate a real-life trigger moment between the two of us. With a little communication, a little grace (and a lot of honesty), we worked through it and kept the conversation going — because that’s what relationships are all about. It’s reflective, funny, and deeply human and we’re proud to sit in that growth with you all. Thank you as always for being here. We love you!
