I'm so excited to be spending time with some of my favorite people as we share our thoughts, ideas and feelings about love and relationship. These integral parts of our humanity and spirituality look differently for everyone and when we honor everyone's way of doing these things, we honor ourselves and all of life. The diversity present in relationship styles, family models, and ways of connecting with one another is something I am passionate about discussing and creating space space for in this world. There are so many ways to love, be loved and experience connection, let's celebrate them all.

On this special lost episode, Rev. Amanda sat down with author and psychotherapist Jessica Fern to talk about her book Polysecure, attachment styles and trauma, and a variety of relating and relationship styles. This in-depth episode was recorded during Covid shutdown in July 2020 and contains so many gems about learning to relate with our loved ones in new and previously unimagined ways. If you're interested in learning more about attachment theory and how it's impacted by trauma, ethical non-monogamy, monogamous relationships, and the ways that we love and interact with the world around us, there is sure to be something here for you!
Special thanks to Jessica Fern for being a guest during shutdown and sincerest apologies to her and my listeners for not getting this out sooner. Much Love, Rev. Amanda

Ep. 20 Hell Yes!
Consent in All Areas of Relating
with Lance Wright
Rev. Amanda and Lance talk about consent outside of the bedroom and sexual relationship. Consent plays out in all of the ways that we relate with the people in our lives. Emotional work especially plays a role in romantic relationships, friendships, at work and in an evolving conversation about equity in the systems that impact our lives. If we are aware and present with the ways in which we expect and as others to participate in emotional labor in all of our interactions, we can learn to consciously consent and be enthusiastic about the ways we interact with each other beyond societal and historical models. How deeply fulfilling and rewarding would all of our relationships become if all the ways we connect with each other were met with an enthusiastic, Hell Yes!?
Lance Wright is the Director of Campus Activities at Colorado State University. He is actively engaged in conversations about social justice, equity and diversity in his career and as a parent.
Lance is currently traveling the world and chronicling his adventures on his blog:
The Midlife Crisis Traveler
He mentioned the TED Talk presented by his colleague Monica Rivera which can be found here:
