Welcome to the Relationship Diversity Podcast, where we celebrate, question and explore all aspects of relationship structure diversity from soloamory to monogamy to polyamory, and everything in between because every relationship is as unique as you are.

Episode 004:
Letting Go of Relationship Expectations to Find the Gold

In this episode, I will explore how diversity in intimate relationships can be developed.

I look at this in the context of:

1. Timing

2. Structure

We are continually evolving and expanding. To stay stagnant is to resist our human nature. When we hold on to something so tightly because we fear change, we choke what is good and fulfilling out our relationships.

How do we let go of expectations, embrace the fluidity of self-growth and evolve to the best, most fulfilling versions of ourselves and our relationships?

We give ourselves the space to create our unique relationships from the unique people involved in them.

This is Relationships Reimagined.

Join me to be a part of this new paradigm of conscious, intentional, and diverse relationships.
