He has seven years of personal experience in ethical non-monogamy. Andre offers a unique perspective on navigating alternative lifestyles. "If we lived in a society where non-monogamy or polyamory was the norm, people would do that. Humans need connection and more than one connection," Andre explains. He highlights the natural human desire for diverse relationships.

As loneliness grows among men, Andre's work at Connected Roots fosters authentic connections. His efforts are part of a broader movement. This aims to address growing social challenges. His practice supports individuals in non-monogamous, LGBTQ+, kink, and polyamorous communities. He wants to help people navigate these diverse lifestyles. It has become a beacon for those seeking to explore relationships beyond traditional boundaries. "The percentage of people that I work with at this point that open up their marriage. Or they engage in kink or BDSM to kind of save a relationship is pretty high," Andre notes. He emphasizes both the opportunities and challenges that come with exploring alternative lifestyles. His work shows how polyamory and ethical non-monogamy can build deeper connections. He also addresses the emotional and practical challenges that come with these choices. He highlights the potential benefits of non-traditional relationship structures.
