24. Polyamory and Non-Monogamy with Leon Feingold - Part 1
This episode is all about polyamory and non-monogamous relationships. Our fantastic guest the Tedx speaker, polyamory advocate and House of Good Deeds Co-Founder, Leon Feingold takes us on a deep dive into the world of alternative relationship structures and answers all the questions you have but may have not been able to ask about this often misunderstood and stereotyped topic.
I also open up about my own relationship with my partner Neil, as we have been exploring non-monogamy together for the last three years.
In a very open and honest conversation, Leon and I share some of our personal stories and experiences on those wonderful things that make us human including jealousy, fear, dating, sex and kindness.
My aim is not to promote a particular relationship style but rather to encourage you to explore the societal expectations that may constrain us in ways that we don’t realise and possibly have never questioned.
Please note the subject matter may not be suitable for more sensitive ears.
Episode highlights
- What is polyamory and how does it work?
- How to understand, deal with and unlearn jealousy
- Minimising grey areas through boundaries, rules and agreements
- Dating differences between genders and the man buffet
- Becoming a poly-Rambo and why adding new relationship tools to your arsenal can help everyone
- Why you need to figure out if what you have learned is knowledge or baggage
- The costly mistake you might make if you don’t know the difference between mature relationship energy and new relationship energy
- What do you do next after you experience the worst thing that could ever happen in a relationship?
- And of course, Leon sets his personal environmental challenge in line with his values
