Don't Worry It's Confidential

communication, polyamory and self-understanding


Listen Later

This week, we dive deep into the art of communication- what gets in the way, how to stay connected through discomfort, and why vulnerability is essential. My guest is a therapist who also practices polyamory, offering a unique lens on communication through the complexity of navigating multiple relationships.


We explore:


  • How trauma and triggers show up in communication
  • Why knowing what you need is key to expressing yourself
  • The journey of discovering that non-monogamy was right for her
  • The challenge of hard conversations and fears that come with being vulnerable
  • Letting go of mind reading and replacing it with clear, curious dialogue
  • The importance of curiosity, compassion, and self-awareness in building stronger relationships


This is a vulnerable, honest conversation between two people unpacking their own roadblocks and learnings - an invitation to reflect on your own communication habits and how they shape your relationships.
