Episode 109.5:
Is Polyamory an Identity or a Lifestyle Choice? With Rich and Siobhan of The Poly (Pod) Cast
In this episode of the Relationship Diversity Podcast, I have an inspiring conversation with Rich and Siobhan, the hosts of The Poly (Pod) Cast, to talk about some big discussions present in non-monogamous communities.
We discuss the significant topic of whether non-monogamy and polyamory are lifestyle choices or identities and tackle common myths and judgments surrounding polyamorous relationships.
Rich and Siobhan share their personal journey from monogamy to polyamory, highlight challenges they’ve faced and provide insights on handling societal misconceptions.
Rich and Siobhan aim to normalize diverse relationship structures and dismantle the stigma around polyamory and bisexuality.
