Normalizing Non-Monogamy - Personal Stories of Polyamory, Swinging, and Beyond
Emma and Fin
Hi! We’re your hosts Emma and Fin! We’re a married couple in our late thirties and we’ve been exploring non-monogamy in different ways since nearly the beginning of our relationship more than twenty years ago. But, this podcast isn’t about us…
We strongly believe there isn’t a “right way” to be non-monogamous or even that non-monogamy is better or more evolved than monogamy or any other relationship style. Every week we interview people from across the spectrums of gender, sexuality, and relationship style to learn from their incredible and powerful personal stories.
Each episode is a unique perspective and personal story… Pick one that sounds interesting and give it a listen!
We hope that by sharing the amazing journeys of those who are redefining and pushing the limits of what’s possible in relationships that we can show people that they’re not alone and inspire us all to embrace our true selves so that, together, we can open minds and live authentically without shame.

They are just starting to explore non-monogamy but have already made it to the elusive "full swap." Since then, they have started to reconsider what they want out of it and are finding their way.

Ep 50 - Taytum + Rachel
Rachel and Taytum are two college students in their early twenties who are exploring their sexualities and different relationship styles together. Fairly early in their relationship Taytum confessed she is interested in exploring what it's like to be with other people. However, she has no interest in breaking up with Rachel. After lots of hard discussions Rachel found our podcast and learned all of the different ways people make these types of relationships work. They are still figuring it out but they were anxious to come on the show and share their progress with us. This is an amazing and heartwarming conversation between two people are still in the middle of finding their way.

Our guess is, you'll love it.
