Let's fix that. 💋 Subscribe to the Society on YT: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@AnnaMarieDescartes⁩  Hello huns! Welcome back to AM to PM, your unapologetic guide to living a truly delicious life. 🥂✨As someone who has been hyper-independent since the day she was born, I used to put my own pleasure at the very bottom of my to do list.

But now, I've embraced a true hedonist lifestyle and found ways to include pleasure within my busy schedule.In this episode, we are breaking down the 3 simple ways to build an everyday pleasure ecosystem—from romanticising your morning coffee barefoot in the sun to navigating the corporate burnout trap, reclaiming your bedroom agency, and why you should NEVER be a passive participant in your own life. 👓 We are also opening up the Confession Booth to answer your spicy dilemmas on people-pleasing guilt and balancing your energy when you work a strict city corporate job.Grab a glass of wine, get your notepad out and let's get stuck in. 💋 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 01:45 - Habit #1: Curation & Everyday Sensual Moments 03:31 - Habit #2: Scheduling Your Fun 06:45 - Habit #3: Reclaiming Your Erotic & Bedroom Agency 10:02 - The Confession Booth: Dilemma #1 11:49 - The Confession Booth: Dilemma #2 (Strict Corporate Finance vs. Feminine Energy)14:52 - Stop waiting for permission to live a delicious life

    Why is Everyone Suddenly Polyamorous?!

    Hello hunnys! 💋 This week on AM to PM, we’re going somewhere where some of us are too scared to go: Is Monogamy Officially Dead? It seems like everyone from your TikTok feed to the highest-paid celebrities is suddenly involved in ethical non-monogamy. Inspired by a fascinating conversation in my own life, we’re stripping back the layers of polyamory, thruples, and why we’ve been programmed to think 'one person for life' is the only option. In this undercover report, I’m getting unfiltered about my own journey. Why I joined the dating app Feeld, what I learnt, and how radical honesty completely changed my worldview. What’s in the tea this week: -The Klay Thompson/Nick Cannon Effect: Is it polyamory or just an expensive hobby? -ENM 101: A proper vocabulary lesson (put your glasses on, class is in session! 🤓). -My Feeld Findings: The real reason I joined and what a 'Primary Partner' taught me about my standards -The Confession Booth: We answer your dilemmas! Can your relationship survive a hall pass, and what happens if you are the one catching feelings? You cannot build a limitless lifestyle if you’re busy conforming to someone else’s outdated relationship rules. It’s time to level up the mindset!

    What If YOU Are The Jealous Friend?!

    It’s time for a heart-to-heart, and it might sting a little. 🌶️ This week on AM to PM, we’re going where most are too scared to go: What if you are the jealous friend? Inspired by the viral (and incredibly brave) honesty of @Farah_Ammarah on TikTok, we’re stripping back the layers of the "Green-Eyed Monster." Jealousy isn’t a life sentence, it’s a signal. But if you don’t address it, it will rot your relationships and your own self esteem from the inside out. In this episode, I’m getting unfiltered about my own journey. The times I’ve been the one receiving the side-eye and the times I’ve had to look in the mirror and admit I was feeling the burn of someone else’s win. We’re breaking down the psychology of why we compare, how to spot the signs before you become toxic, and the practical routine to turn that envy into your own personal fuel. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - 02:32 - Intro 02:33 - 05:34 - The good and bad of jealousy 05:35 - 07:34 - The TikTok post that started it all 07:35 - 09:54 - How to know if you're the jealous friend 09:55 - 18:23 - My story 18:24 - 20:27 - Good vs Bad Jealousy? 20:28 - 27:02 - How to overcome your jealousy 27:03 - 31:10 - What to do if your friend is jealous of you 31:11 - 36:03 - Confessions 36:04 - 39:28 - End

    Your Good Girl Era Is Over

    "You cannot be powerful and palatable at the same time. Pick one." Season Two, baby, let's go! I'm back on the mic with a survival guide for the woman ready to stop being "easy" and start being iconic. In this episode, we’re auditing the "Good Girl" archetype - the one who avoids conflict, over explains her "No," and prioritises being liked over being respected. Whether you're navigating corporate London or reclaiming your spark in the bedroom, this episode is your permission slip to be "too much," "too bold," and "too optimistic." What’s inside: The Pop Culture Shift: What we can learn from the "undigestible" power of Miley Cyrus and Rihanna. The Exit Strategy: 5 practical ways to raise your standards publicly and reconnect with your sensuality. The Confession Booth: Answering your most pressing dilemmas. The next version of you is a little less apologetic and a lot more expressive. 🔥 Hit ‘Follow’ and subscribe 🔗 Connect with the community:  TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - 02:03 - Intro + Catch Up02:04 - 04:54 - An intro being a good girl04:55 - 06:36 - What makes a good girl?06:37 - 11:00 - Celebrity girls gone bad11:01 - 12:55 - "You've changed"12:56 - 14:25 - Why you need to end your good girl era14:26 - 20:04 - Actionable steps20:05 - 25:08 - Confession booth dilemmas
