Happy New Year to you all! For our first episode of the new year, we bring you a remastered version of an older episode from back in 2016 about five mistakes newbies make in polyamory.

Our initial list of newbie mistakes focused more on structural things, while responses from listeners on our recent Instagram story showed a deeper emphasis on internal work, communication nuances, and the psychological aspects of polyamory.

Based on this input, we've put together a new list of newbie mistakes, grouped into categories to cover both new and old ones, and we also discuss how we can all do better in our non-monogamous practices.
