What happens when cultural traditions collide with the whirlwind of modern dating?
Welcome to Love-ly, the podcast where our host (@whathemehak) explores the beautifully messy, deeply personal stories of love, identity, and connection.
From first and second-generation immigrants balancing family expectations to Gen Z navigating dating apps and “situationships,” Love-ly dives into the heart of what it means to love in today’s tech-driven world.
Every Friday, tune in for heartfelt conversations that remind us of one universal truth: no matter where you’re from or what your relationship status is, everyone has a lovely story worth telling.

Polyamory, Hierarchies & the Relationship Escalator: A Deep Dive with Leanne Yau
Feeling tired, moody, or breaking out for no reason? We thought it was just burnout—until we tried Function Health. Function tracks over 160 biomarkers, including hormones, stress, Vitamin D, and more, to help users understand what’s going on inside. Learn more at www.functionhealth.com/LOVELY.
In this episode of Love-ly, host Mehak sits down with Leanne Yau, British sex and relationship educator and the voice behind @polyphiliablog, to unpack the nuances of polyamory.
From her first open relationship at 17 to living non-hierarchically with multiple partners, Leanne shares her journey, debunks common misconceptions (like “polyamory is just for people bad at monogamy”), and explains terms like relationship hierarchy, relationship escalator, and relationship anarchy.
Whether you’re monogamish, poly-curious, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers a thoughtful and judgment-free look at how we define love, connection, and commitment.
You can find Leanne's content on YouTube (@PolyPhilia) and Instagram (@polyphiliablog).
