In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Joli Hamilton, the relationship coach for people who color outside the lines, as she shares valuable insights on the necessary actions and paradigm shifts that need to take place in order to successfully transition from monogamy to a plural relationship.

Dr. Hamilton has spent the past two decades studying and reimagining what love can be if we open our imaginations to possibility. She helps people create non-monogamous partnerships that are custom-built for their authentic selves, no more shrinking, pretending, or hiding required. Her 1-year course, The Year of Opening, coaches and supports couples through the first year of transitioning out of a monogamous relationship.

Joli also co-hosts the Playing with Fire podcast with her anchor partner, Ken. Check it out on
