Krista and Brendan are a couple of 30 somethings who met at band camp in high school and have pretty much been together ever since. Early on in their relationship they began having conversations about non-monogamy and even had an occasional serendipitous threesome along the way. A few years back they dove in a little deeper and started having the conversation again which led them to exploring a variety of dynamics including swinging and friends with benefits before arriving at "kitchen table poly." Find out what exactly that means to them, how to build an incredible polycule, and much more in this amazing conversation.   If you love what these two have to say as much as we did you're definitely going to want to check out their blog over at https://www.polyinplace.com/ ! It's amazing work and a beautiful website as well!   Check out the full show notes here.   Please leave us a voicemail with your blooper or best part of 2020!!

Kristen and Austin started exploring swinging early on in their relationship after they got pregnant and she lost interest in sex. Her solution was to outsource the task. Since then, they have leaned on non-monogamy to help them navigate their mismatched libidos, which have persisted even after the pregnancy. Over the years their dynamic has moved fluidly across the spectrum of non-monogamy and at times completely back to monogamy. They are currently in a triad with a woman named Lindsey in which all three of them have independent relationships with one another. It's a beautiful story and we hope you enjoy it!   Check out the full show notes here.   Please leave us a voicemail with your blooper or best part of 2020!!

Chloe and Drew were such amazing guests that we decided to have them back a second time! It's not critical that you listen to their first episode (Ep 89) before listening to this one but it will provide some context. Their first episode resulted in a handful of listener emails concerned for Drew's wellbeing in the relationship. In this episode they address those concerns and talk about the incredible amount of growth they have both experienced in the last year. We also have a few laughs and maybe a tear or two... Enjoy!

Mariana and Rob are a young couple from Brazil who share their amazing story with us and prove that if you can communicate there is nothing you can't accomplish together.

Emily and Matt both thought they were broken and not meant to be loved like everyone else. Then they met and together decided to openly explore their sexualities and non-monogamy and everything changed for them. It has been an amazing journey but definitely not one without some bumps along the way. In fact, they describe their first experience as a "trial by fire" and it is full of learning opportunities for everyone. They are amazing people who have grown so much together and we can't thank them enough for their vulnerability and willingness to share their story.   See photos and more details of all our guests by checking out the Show Notes!
