Untamed Ember ·

2026/01/07

Here's a radical idea: being polyamorous doesn't make you a better person. In this episode of Untamed Ember, Dr. Misty calls out the weaponized poly discourse that's been laundering bad behavior under enlightenment language. "That's just jealousy."

Through the story of Jenna and Ari, you'll hear exactly how autonomy gets
