Join Latina holistic, sex educator Amanda as she discusses: busting virginity construct, manifesting her dream job (&salary), deep breaths, finances, spirituality, work and life balance and stresses, theories, relationships, friendships, faith, and more.
Growing up Latina meant saying yes to any man that asked 14-year-old-me to dance at a quince…relate? I talk about how this impacts our sexuality from such a young age.

1.1: let’s talk about non-monogamy & polyamory, w/guest Monica Connelly
A JUICY YUMMY "CAN'T MISS" EPISODE! What is polyamory? What is non-monogamy? What's the history? Why do we have so many stigmas and negative views on it being taught? Monica educates us (again! see: herpes episode) on all things non-monog and poly. Of course, this isn't all encompassing, but we get in to it and cover lots of bases. If you have no idea what non-monogamy, or monogamy is, never heard of Polyamory? Have strong feelings or hesitations? We sit and chat about definitions and ideas around ethical non-monogamy. Amanda brings in some history on monogamy: (spoiler) monog's patriarchal origins.
It's a great listen, I learned a lot, and I'm so grateful for Monica sharing so much valuable education, seriously, this is a must listen. - Amanda

1.0: my relationship with white men, and how I'm working on it.
ya girl got a fancy new mic and is baaaack! This week I experience some very anxious paranoid thoughts during yoga, which was led by a white man I had never met before....this brought up some things for me....mainly why I have these kinds of reactions. I talk about what activated me during yoga, how I got through yoga, AND I talk about how this does/can show up in our sexuality.
I leave you with some prompts at the end to take with you to journal or simply think about...how does skin impact who/what you're attracted to? Why do you feel certain ways around certain skin tones? How does that impact your sexuality?
Let's get in to it!

0.8 Little Life Update: i started sex therapy, and we all got sh*t going on because mercury is in retrograde
You read it, I started sex therapy. This is my small attempt at being more vulnerable somewhere online (I explain in the episode). I've decided to invest in myself, and my podcast, and thus do whatever I want: that means setting up a whole podcast mini studio in my apartment. ANYWAYS, I talk about how it seems like everyone in my life is going through some sh*t right now. I also open up about starting sex therapy, because mental health is very much a part of sexual health/sexuality, and I hope to be an example of how, if only to encourage/show you that you are deserving of care, help and attention as well. So, let's get comfy and have a life update chat < 3

0.7. Childhood Memories: Farting at a sleep over, a sex note in third grade, and Kindergarten crush!
This episode I share some core memories that live rent-free in my brain. They pop up and are on repeat. Core memories that stuck with me my whole life. I talk about the first time I think I experienced anxiety: when girls at a sleepover laughed at me because I farted in my sleep (lolll now, but was not then), I talk about never participating in drama, and calling my friends out when they tried to prank me over a crush; I talk about trying to get my crush to talk to me in kindergarten, and then finish the episode talking about defining moments in my childhood. Moments like getting a letter from a classmate in third grade, telling me what he wanted to do in the shower with me....and boys in middle school grabbing and slapping my butt. Yup, it's THESE stories.
Listen along, and if you experienced anything similar...I'm sorry. To all the young people worrying about drama and getting made fun of...I know IT SUCKS, but I promise, NONE of it matters, and YOU'RE GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE. I love you!

0.6: I spill the tea on Abortion facts and stats
Abortion bans affect people of ALL genders. So I share facts and stats on how reproductive rights is more than just a 'women's issue', it's a Trans, Non-Binary, Intersex, LGTBQ+ issue. I did some research, and am sharing a lump sum of what I find valuable to you, dear listener. Take a listen, make some notes to share with others, the fight is not over.

0.2: how I ended up in the work of Sex Ed and the struggle of finding fitting clothes.
Y’all this took my three times to record as you’ll hear. Sheesh. This week I decided to answer a very frequently asked question “How did you get in to sex education?” WELL I AM TELLIN YA NOW! I kick it off with a weekend recap: the struggle to shop as a short pudgy lady, and then I get into how I ended up where I am today, as a Sex Educator. So sit down at your dining table with me (on your speaker), and let’s get to know each other. Be sure to follow me on Ig @amanda.lives for the live and latest, and comment on the pod’s latest post (@questioningsex.pod) any thoughts you have! Okay love u byeeee!
