Kat is a delightful and bubbly human whose journey takes us to multiple continents and is full of self-discovery and growth. She grew up very religious and was engaged at a young age before setting off on a trip to study in Argentina where her world opened up. She shares with us how she went from super religious, to engaged, to single, joined a band, got married, separated from her husband, and is now exploring solo polyamory along with dabbling a bit in some other forms of ethical non-monogamy. It's a fantastic story!

Amanda and Thomas are in their very early thirties and have been exploring non-monogamy since the beginning of their relationship over five years ago. They have a fluid approach and keep things independent from one another (except for when the threesomes happen), yet, they don't hide things either. They share with us how they are able to find this balance, keep lines of communication open, and how they have been adjusting to spending a lot more time together since the pandemic showed up. It's a fantastic and lighthearted episode that we know you will enjoy!

Jhen is a 30ish year old, hilarious, pansexual woman from Jamaica who has been exploring non-monogamy since she first shared a boyfriend with her best friend when she was six! In all seriousness, monogamy really isn't her thing and pretty much all of her adult-life relationships have been non-monogamous in some fashion. She shares a journey with us which spans multiple cultures and includes a fair amount of laughs!
She is also one of the co-creators and hosts of
The Monogamish Pod podcast which focuses on ethical non-monogamy through the Black Caribbean lens.

Kate and Chris are right at the start of their journey...Sort of. They have been discussing ethical and consensual non-monogamy for the last couple of months but have been forced to just keep talking about it due to COVID-19. The conversation came up after Kate asked Chris for a divorce because after her third emotional affair she concluded that she must not love him anymore since she was interested in someone else. Chris wasn't about to throw away 20 years of marriage that easily and after some long nights of talking it turns out that neither of them wanted to get divorced. Gasp! These two share the incredible journey they have been on together so far and have kindly volunteered to let us track the entire thing in a multiple part series over the next, well, hopefully 40+ years!

We're honored to welcome Ruby Johnson, co-founder of Poly Dallas Millennium, to moderate our first panel discussion. As she mentions, this is not a race 101 discussion. While it is targeted towards the Black community, it is an invaluable resource for anyone who finds it. The amazing and accomplished panelists discuss difficult topics, share vulnerable stories, and do it all while weaving in humor and laughter. It's a very real conversation with four powerful friends.
Thank you again to Ruby Johnson, Charita Marie, Dr. Justin Clardy, and of course Jhen for sharing their voices and experiences with us.

Mrs. and Mr. Jones from the We Gotta Thing podcast join us this week to share their story. "But can't I just go listen to their story on their podcast?" you might be asking yourself... You could. But rumor has it that we have never-before-discussed top secret material. These are of course just rumors. However, what we do have is a fantastic discussion that goes much deeper than their story. Our recommendation is you listen to this episode AND go listen to their podcast. Everybody wins, especially you.

Starting to explore swinging and polyamory exposed some underlying issues that they each needed to work on individually.
