<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Did I ever think I’d have a former partner, a queer platonic partner and a platonic life partner together for an in depth conversation around all things queerness? If you had told me a few years ago, I would have been like hell no. I didn’t even know platonic partnership could be a thing back then. AND to have former partners of mine want to participate in my world and be willing to navigate the nuance and intricacies of de-escalation alongside of me while also witnessing me in partnership? I imagined it — hoped for it — but to have it realized is such a gift.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">I love these humans. They are some of my most treasured folks in my inner constellation of loved ones. I have learned so much from being in partnership and in sphere with Rach (she/her), Kels (they/them) and Kristen (she/her). And I am just so f*cking excited to share this conversation with one of you.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">It might just be my favorite episode to date. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Things we talk about in todays episode: </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">queer-ness as a celebration of anti-normative living and being </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">the idea of hierarchy and the variety of what commitment can look like in relationships</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">romantic, platonic relationships </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">internalized homophobia </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">how the patriarchy and comp het impacts queer dynamics</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">and a shit ton of goofy energy and personal stories </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">CONNECT WITH KRISTEN, RACH &amp; KELS:</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Instagram: Kristen | Rach | Kels </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">LINKS MENTIONED IN TODAYS EPISODE:</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Fucking Queer Merch - use code QUEERDO for 15% off </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Episode 100: This Is Pride (We’re Here And We’re Queer)</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Rachels previous episodes: Episode 148: Platonic Intimacy &amp; Why We Really Went On A Break | Episode 86 | Episode 64: How Fluid id Sexuality Anyways? | Episode 51: Breaking the Stigma of Therapy | Episode 37: The Truth About Anxiety | Episode 9</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">WORK, SUPPORT &amp; CONNECT WITH AMANDA:</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Snag one of Amanda’s June somatic embodiment coaching pop up sessions : 60 mins | 90 mins </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Amanda’s Instagram | Website | Tik Tok</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Amanda’s book, I Chopped Off My Tits</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Join her email list for free curated playlists and very occasional gifts &amp; announcements in your inbox</p>
