Are you ready to live your f*ck yes life?
Hey, HEY, HEY! I'm Amanda (she/THEY)
I’m so happy you’re here, love.
You may know me on Instagram as that queer demisexual relationship anarchist, or maybe you popped over here after listing to an episode of my podcast, Live Your F*ck Yes Life — whatever path brought you here, welcome to my little queer, non traditional cozy corner of the internet.
I’m guessing you’re a recovering people pleaser too, with a long history of operating solely from a place of shoulds. Maybe that has looked like coming into your sexuality in your late twenties/thirties, discovering you’re not into the patriarchal nuclear family norms and seeking non traditional relationship models, years of eating disordered cycles like over exercising, work-aholism, panic attacks, toxic relationships, chronic health issues, PTSD & beyond.
At least, it was for me. Through my own unique journey to liberation, I’ve become wildly passionate about arming my fuck yes community (aka YOU!) with the tools to help you step into your fullest and most authentic selves, so that you too can live every day feeling unapologetic AF in your own skin and truly come home to yourself.
are you ready to live your f*ck yes life, bb?
Check out my Live Your F*ck Yes Life podcast or my book I Chopped Off My Tits and get started.
Who the fuck am I?
I think it’s wildly important to know who the lens, biases, privileges and life experience of anyone I interact with in any type of way, so I’d be remiss to not start with my own:
I am a white, gender queer woman (she/they)
I am second generation antizionist Jewish Canadian and come from an immigrant family of Eastern European, Ashkenazi Jewish descent and a lineage of Holocaust survivors, currently living in the United States
I grew up in a self made, upper class household and am lower class now
I am a queer and demisexual
I am a divorced, ambiamourous relationship anarchist
I am neurodivergent and have a significant history of trauma
I am able bodied & 8 years in eating disorder recovery
I have the BRCA 1 gene mutation & had a preventative double mastectomy in 2018
My first language is English & I speak fluent French and conversational Spanish
Career wise, I’ve work as a trauma informed mentor, writer and facilitator — I’ve been mentoring & facilitating since 2016 — and as an artist, actor and storyteller for the better part of two decades. In 2018, I launched my podcast, Live Your F*ck Yes Life — the space to be for conscious conversations and candid shares around shit nobody really fucking talks about. In 2019, I shared my journey of navigating a preventative double mastectomy at the age of 27 in my self published book, I Chopped Off My Tits. And I’ve spent the last few years facilitating and supporting folks in many ways including as an embodied & somatic mentor with my 1:1 coaching clients, with my signature program: The School of Fears, Feels and Fucks (currently on hiatus but will be announced via email list if you want first dibs), with Live Your F*ck Yes Life events & workshops and in accessible, and trauma informed peer support sessions around all things non traditional relationship models (non monogamy, relationship anarchy, monogamous folks seeking a path out of toxic monogamous culture), coming out later in life & BRCA/double mastectomies.
ALL SO THAT YOU TOO CAN SHED THE SHOULDS & LIVE YOUR FUCK YES LIFE — ‘CAUSE YOU MF DESERVE IT.
I Believe...
Everyone deserves access to trauma informed care & support.
Laughter is the best medicine.
In advocating for your health, even if that means chopping off your damn tits.
When we decide to listen to our deepest knowing and embrace who we really are, everything falls into place in a beautiful, indescribable way.
Things I Love:
singing at the top of my lungs
snuggles with my pup Charlie
biking down the 606 in Chicago
anything with tits on it
big cozy blankets
writing poetry in the morning
laughing so hard my stomach hurts with my constellation of loved ones
I Value
authenticity
belonging
collaboration
courage
creativity
pleasure
vulnerability
