For too long, conversations about polyamory have centered on younger people. But what happens to open relationships as we get older? Kathy Labriola, author of many groundbreaking titles including The Jealousy Workbook, joins us to explain why age doesn't have to mean the end of polyamory. In fact, non-monogamy can actually become more valuable as we age. It is so important for our community to have access to non-monogamous representation and stories. As someone who has been a polyamorist for 50 years, Kathy is a wealth of knowledge, inspiration, and stories. In this episode, we talk about: — Why polyamory can be an especially resilient model for aging — How having multiple partners can provide emotional and practical support in later years — The unique perspective of poly elders who've been practicing consensual non-monogamy for decades — Why some people discover and embrace polyamory later in life — Common concerns for older folks exploring non-monogamy (like family reactions and healthcare) — The evolution of resources and support for the polyam community — How relationship needs and desires naturally shift with age — Why traditional models of coupling may become less appealing in later years — The wisdom poly elders have gained from decades of experience — Ways that disability and changing abilities impact relationships — The importance of having multiple support systems as we age Resources mentioned in this episode: — Polyamorous Elders: Aging in Open Relationships by Kathy Labriola — Kathy Labriola's website — Kathy's other books including The Polyamory Breakup Book, Love in Abundance, and The Jealousy Workbook JOIN The Year of Opening community for a full year of learning & support.

Continuing on a similar theme as the baby decision episodes, I wanted to have a conversation about what aging while child-free (and/or unmarried, and/or nonmonogamous, and/or without a stable job) might look like. I'm joined again by the counselor and author Kathy Labriola, who you might recognize from last season's episode, Help Dealing With Jealousy in Relationships & Career, as well as from my book, Open.  Not only does Kathy have an excellent new book out about aging while nonmonogamous, Polyamorous Elders, but she is herself a badass example of aging while unconventional. She is queer, child-free, and has multiple partners-- but is married to none.  In this super practical conversation, we talk about many different things to consider when aging outside the box, including: --Differences in civil rights granted in a domestic partnership versus marriage --Different things even younger people need to do, like filling out advanced care directives, writing a will, and thinking about long-term care insurance --Thinking about housing long-term, and how to pay for it if you're not rich --Why having a child is not a guarantee or even good insurance that you will be taken care of in old age --How she has set up her life and practice to operate outside of traditional capitalist structures And much more! I am always inspired by Kathy, and I know this conversation gave me a long list of things to do and think about. I hope it helps you too! -- Help Existing is listener supported.

This week I'm talking with one of my very favorite people in the world: counselor and author Kathy Labriola. If you've read my book Open, you'll recognize her as my counselor/real-life fairy godmother. She's also an expert on jealousy in relationships, which she writes about in books like The Jealousy Workbook and Love In Abundance. I wanted to have a conversation with Kathy about jealousy and envy that was inclusive of non-monogamous, monogamous, and even professional relationships. How can we deal with jealousy in a way that's constructive, but also allows for the possibility that it can be a wise emotion? What is the difference between jealousy and envy, anyway? How does jealousy show up differently in non-monogamous versus monogamous relationships? What about career envy? We covered this and much more in this episode. As always, I hope it's helpful.

"So, you know, I have to watch out for standard bad coping mechanisms like drinking too much and getting under someone to get over someone, AND poly dominoes." This week, Laura discusses the ways polyamorous breakups share traits with and differ from monogamous ones, both from her own perspective and using the framework laid out by Kathy Labriola in The Polyamory Breakup Book: Causes, Prevention, and Survival. Spoilers: most breakups are caused by the same basic reasons as monogamous relationship breakups, but there are some addendums and caveats, and we'll go through them here.

Polyamory - one version of consensual non-monogamy. There are certainly plenty of people that choose an open relationship of one sort or another. Even though they're committed to each other, but by agreement, they are non-monogamous. Often what we're referring to is people that have been committed and decide to change the arrangement and include other people in one way or another. What is polyamory? So today's topic is specifically polyamory, which is one way of consensual non-monogamy and in general, it's it's sort of considered having more than one committed relationship. It implies sexual involvement, but also emotional involvement with more than one partner. There are a lot of ways to do this, but what we're talking about today as opposed to something like swinging which is more about sexual experiences. And sometimes those are shared with your partner or just an open relationship where everybody does what they want. There aren't really many rules. My guest today, Tamara Powell, is really a specialist in this. She runs the Arya Therapy Services and she provides holistic health and healing to what she says is a global market of nonconformists. Upsides and downsides to polyamory? We discuss the details on what it takes to make this a win-win situation for relationships along with covering some of the common problems it may generate. Who is it for or not for? What kind of agreements and conversations do you need to have what set you up for success? What should you be thinking about if this is an idea that you're considering for your relationship? Kids, jealousy, and more. This can be a complex situation and Tamara and I try to cover all the bases during this wonderful conversation. Hope you enjoy. About Tamara Powell Tamara Powell, LMHC is a licensed therapist, university psychology instructor, and spiritual empowerment coach who believes life should be lived as a journey that is “anything but ordinary.” She opened Arya Therapy Services as a way to provide holistic health and healing to a global market of non-conformists.

Polyamory - one version of consensual non-monogamy.There are certainly plenty of people that choose an open relationship of one sort or another. Even though they're committed to each other, but by agreement, they are non-monogamous.Often what we're referring to is people that have been committed and decide to change the arrangement and include other people in one way or another.What is polyamory?So today's topic is specifically polyamory, which is one way of consensual non-monogamy and in general, it's it's sort of considered having more than one committed relationship.It implies sexual involvement, but also emotional involvement with more than one partner. There are a lot of ways to do this, but what we're talking about today as opposed to something like swinging which is more about sexual experiences.And sometimes those are shared with your partner or just an open relationship where everybody does what they want. There aren't really many rules.My guest today, Tamara Powell, is really a specialist in this. She runs the Arya Therapy Services and she provides holistic health and healing to what she says is a global market of nonconformists.Upsides and downsides to polyamory?We discuss the details on what it takes to make this a win-win situation for relationships along with covering some of the common problems it may generate.Who is it for or not for? What kind of agreements and conversations do you need to have what set you up for success? What should you be thinking about if this is an idea that you're considering for your relationship? Kids, jealousy, and more.This can be a complex situation and Tamara and I try to cover all the bases during this wonderful conversation.

It's dangerous to go alone...take this! It's the Triforce of Communication!What is that, you ask? The Triforce of Communication, other than being a nerdy title, are the three primary goals of communication in any given conversation or interaction with a partner. Communication breakdowns often occur when you and your partner have mismatched goals. If your partner thinks you are seeking support or acknowledgment when you are actually seeking problem-solving advice, disappointment and frustration can show up faster than you know it. In this episode, we talk about these three different goals, and how you can use the knowledge of these goals to make your communication more effective.Kathy Labriola's original video on communication goals can be found here: https://youtu.be/CzA5UBDaQccIf this show is helpful to you, consider joining our amazing community of like-minded listeners at patreon.com/Multiamory.
