Summary

This week, Good Moms are joined by Kenya Stevens, spiritual teacher, mother, founder of the Progressive Love Academy, and a woman with not one, but four husbands to talk about polyamory, parenting, and partnership.

Kenya shares her journey from monogamous marriage to multi-partner love, and how she had to build the framework for her lifestyle without any roadmap or community to lean on. We talk about emotional safety, jealousy, communication tools, and why being poly is actually a spiritual practice.

You can expect to hear:

(05:30) Bougie gym culture, baby daddy run-ins, and the art of co-parenting while sharing a house
(17:10) Why Kenya believes monogamy isn’t natural and how her journey began with “just a dream”
(28:45) How she and her husband of 30 years transitioned from jealousy to unconditional love
(41:20) The spiritual side of polyamory—and why it’s definitely not about cheating with consent
(52:50) Relationship “repair,” emotional containers, and how to have hard conversations without losing your mind
(1:07:00) Feminine Choice Paradigm : Womb choice vs. heart choice vs. crown choice: yes, you can like that man and want to learn from him
(1:22:15) Kenya’s talks about menopause, pleasure, and why she’s aging backwards
(1:37:00) What it really takes to be “ready” for multiple partners
(1:22:15) Menopause, orgasms, and the glow-up that came with sexual freedom
(1:37:00) How to know if you’re actually ready for polyamory

Whether you're exploring new ways to love, reflecting on your emotional patterns, or just a little curious there’s something here for you! Make sure to send it to a friend!
