Queering Compersion with @lifewflo and @polyamoryinpractice

Compersion, the feeling of joy/happiness at seeing your partner with other people, is often touted as the Holy Grail of polyamory: a milestone you reach once you have achieved complete security within yourself, fully embracing the abundance mindset, and having a complete lack of jealousy. In reality, it's a lot more complicated than that. In this episode, Flo (@lifewflo), Alexa (@polyamoryinpractice) and I discuss:

- deconstructing the binary of compersion/jealousy

- queering the timeline from high jealousy to high compersion on one's polyamorous journey

- our different experiences of compersion and how it is a mixed bag of feelings rather than a sensation of pure joy

- how to navigate different experiences of compersion and jealousy with partners and metamours

and much more.
