Podcasts about ethical non monogamy

Are you stuck running relationship patterns you never consciously chose? In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I'm breaking down how to identify the default “rules” you inherited about love, sex, and partnership, and how to rewrite them so your relationships actually work for YOU.So many of us grew up believing myths like:“If you're really in love, you won't be attracted to anyone else.”“To be a good partner, you have to want everything your partner wants.”“Jealousy means love.”The problem? These defaults often create shame, confusion, and conflict in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.In this episode, you'll learn the 5 steps to rewriting your relationship code so you can experience real freedom:Identify the beliefs you inherited.Question what's actually true for YOU.Create new agreements with intention.Practice new habits until they stick.Celebrate every time you choose yourself.By the end, you'll see how rewriting your defaults allows you to show up with more confidence, clarity, and joy in every connection.What you'll take away from this episode:Why inherited relationship beliefs hold us back in non-monogamy.The surprising truths about love, attraction, and jealousy.Practical tools to create new agreements with your partners.How gratitude and celebration make new patterns stick.Why freedom is a daily practice, not a one-time decision.Send us a textSupport the show

Have you ever thought, “If my partner can't meet all my needs, maybe another partner will”? In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I break down why that belief is one of the biggest traps in polyamory and open relationships.We hear it all the time in the ENM community: “No one person can meet all your needs.” That's true, but when we take it as a free pass to collect partners to fill every emotional gap, it backfires. Instead of feeling fulfilled, we multiply our insecurities, create pressure on new relationships, and leave our existing partners feeling like they're not enough.

Most people think the toughest part of polyamory is jealousy. But according to Richie, it's actually… logistics. Yep, the calendar.After a life-changing cancer journey with his partner, Richie realized that the hardest part of opening their relationship wasn't emotions, it was managing schedules, consent, and privacy across multiple partners. With his background in software product management, he decided to do something about it, and created PYE, a scheduling and consent management app designed specifically for the polyamorous community.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, Richie and I dig into:Why scheduling is considered an “unsolvable math problem” (and why we need more self-compassion when we feel polyunsaturated).How misunderstandings about dates, boundaries, and consent are quietly breaking relationships.The creative ways poly folks use calendars as safety tools.Why color coding, structure, and intentional planning actually free us up for more intimacy and fun.Richie's vision for cutting down burnout and building more trusting, joyful relationships with better tools.If you've ever juggled multiple Google Calendars, forgotten to communicate a boundary, or lost a relationship to logistics overwhelm — this one's for you.
