Let's be honest—most of us really don't want to talk about envy. It's uncomfortable, it feels icky, and it brings up all sorts of emotions we'd rather not face. You know we love to talk about jealousy, but understanding envy, especially how it differs from jealousy, can also be incredibly valuable for relational and personal growth.In this episode, we talk about:— The difference between envy and jealousy, and why we often conflate them— How envy involves comparing ourselves to others and breaking people down into parts rather than seeing them as whole humans— The underlying sense of unfairness that fuels envy and how it can become destructive— Why envy can be both a powerful motivator and a path to self-destruction— How envy shows up specifically in non-monogamous relationships, especially when it appears alongside jealousy— The way envy can point us toward our genuine wants and desires if we're willing to examine it— How envy can be valuable individuation material that helps us understand our values and what we truly want— The destructive potential of envy in relationships and communities when left unexamined— Practical ways to work with envy when it arises, including using it as information rather than letting it control our actions— The importance of considering not just what we envy in others, but whether we're willing to do what it takes to achieve similar outcomesResources mentioned in this episode:— Cinderella and Her Sisters: The Envied and the Envying by Ann and Barry Ulanov— What is Compersion? by Marie Thouin— The Drama Triangle concept by Stephen KarpmanJOIN The Year of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

In this episode we sit down with Ava's new partner, Ramone, to explore his journey through non-monogamy. Ramone had always identified as strictly polyamorous, but meeting Ava introduced him to new experiences, including his first sex-positive event. We dive into Ramone's past relationships, his perspective on polyamory before Ava, and how stepping into a more open, play-oriented space challenged and excited him. Plus, we hear about his first impressions of finally meeting Anthony and Pinky in person. Join us for a candid conversation about evolving relationship styles, exploring new spaces, and what happens when love meets adventure.

When you take pleasure in your partner’s pleasure or happiness, this is known as compersion. It’s a form of positive empathy that many people in non-monogamous relationships experience. However, some people seem to have an easier time feeling compersion than others. So can it be learned? And should compersion always be a goal in non-monogamy? Let’s talk about it! My guest is Marie Thouin, PhD, a dating and relationship coach and author of the new book: What Is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships. Marie is the founder of Love InSight, a mindful dating and relationship coaching practice where she supports people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives. Some of the topics we cover in this episode include: Why does compersion seem to come easier to some people? Does our ability to experience compersion change with age? Can you learn how to feel compersion if you’ve never felt it before? What are some different approaches to learning compersion? You can check out Marie’s website to learn more about her work.

We talk about compersion a lot (duh, it's awesome!!). But compersion is more than an emotion, and it's more than the opposite of jealousy. Luckily, Marie Thouin (one of our podcast BFFs) returns to PWF to discuss her new book, What Is Compersion?, which dives into the complexities of compersion as a value system that does not have to be restricted to romantic relationships. In fact, we all have benefitted greatly from expanding the way that we understand and practice compersion to our platonic and professional relationships! If compersion hasn't clicked for you in the past, if you struggle with feelings of jealousy in your platonic, romantic, or professional relationships, or if you just want to nerd out with us about compersion, you don't wanna skip this one! We draw on our personal experiences, academic research, and insights from coaching hundreds of people in the non-monogamy community. In this episode, we talk about: — Why compersion is more than just an emotion — Compersion as a value vs. compersion as an escape — Compersion myths, including the misconception that it can eliminate jealousy entirely — The power of applying the concept of compersion to non-romantic relationships, and how that can be a huge opportunity for personal growth — Compersion vs. jealousy vs. envy — Addressing personal challenges in feeling compersion, particularly in friendships, and overcoming envy and competitiveness — Discussing practical ways to cultivate compersion in daily life and relationships — Why compersion doesn't mean the absence of jealousy, as emotions are fluid and contextual — Integrating academic research, coaching, and personal experience to better understand and teach compersion Resources mentioned in this episode: — Marie Thouin's new book "What is Compersion" is available for pre-order! — Check out Marie's website whatiscompersion.com for information about her research, blogs, and a list of resources on compersion — Follow Marie's Instagram account @loveinsightdating — Book a FREE 30-minute introductory coaching call with Marie Join the global Week of Visibility for Non-monogamy – July 15-21.

In this enriching episode of our lifestyle podcast, we explore the nuanced concept of compersion – the joy derived from witnessing the joy of others. Although a vital component of healthy relationships, compersion remains a predominantly understudied and under-discussed phenomenon. The focus of this episode is primarily on couples who practice ethical non-monogamy or swinging, yet the insights gleaned are universally applicable. With discussions ranging from breaking down misconceptions about jealousy, to the significance of shared linguistics in our lifestyle community, we delve deep into a multitude of fascinating themes. Our exploration spans the realm of language and emotions, emphasizing the influence of words in crafting our identities and enhancing our shared experiences. We weave our way through the intricate connection between ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and swinging that intersect with compersion. This episode transcends sexual contexts and serves as a reminder that compersion can be experienced in a variety of joyful situations, such as rejoicing in your child's achievements or your partner's accomplishments. We delve into jealousy's evolutionary roots, the transformative capacity we have to transmute it into compersion and how this greater awareness and application can foster stronger communal ties. We explore the triggers of jealousy in a swinging environment and guide listeners on reacting constructively. Further, the episode addresses scenarios where individuals do not experience compersion or jealousy and assures them that they are still valid in their experiences. We wrap up the episode by drawing parallels between the emotions of compersion in swinging and polyamorous relationships, reinforcing that compersion serves as a common linguistic link that can bolster growth within the community. With instructive, reassuring, and elevating content throughout, this episode is a comprehensive guide to navigating complex emotions within swinging lifestyle communities.
