Irene shares a powerful and moving story with us this week. She has been exploring non-monogamy for a few years and initially got into it towards the end of an emotionally challenging relationship.

She also talks a bit about raising her son as a single mother and how she exposes him to love and openness in a healthy and appropriate way. We hope this story is as moving for you as it was for us.

Laura and David share an experience with us that has never been discussed on the show... Simply put, they had a baby together. It's definitely much more complicated than that. You'll see. They have now been exploring consensual non-monogamy together for about five years and have watched their dynamic evolve in many ways over that time. They are incredible people that we're honored to call friends and they have an amazing story. You won't be disappointed if you have a listen.

Michelle and Steve never really closed their relationship after they got together. Steve had explored non-monogamy in the past but this was Michelle's first time even hearing about it but it made so much sense to her that she was game to give it a try. After a few bumps, things smoothed out and they found their groove. Over the last few years they have been exploring various forms of swinging and polyamory all over Europe and have been having a blast.

Carrie and Jack started exploring non-monogamy, mainly of the hotwife variety, the day before we published our first podcast episode, exactly two years ago! Happy anniversary to them and to us! Over those two years they have had a LOT of fun! These two are an absolute blast and their sex-positivity and support for each other is incredible. They could easily have a spinoff show titled "The Adventures of Carrie" and it would be a smash hit.
