DISIRability ALT

I am excited to be interviewing my first guest! My co-host today is my friend Allie Phelan who is the Polyamorous Librarian! I have known Allie for several years since I started going to poly meetups. I started off thinking this would be Poly 101 discussion but listening to Allie, I learned some new things that I had never considered. Allie talked about shared language, words and their meanings, the importance of community, jealousy and compersion and coming out as polyamorous. Enjoy this episode!

Allie mentions this book in the episode:  “It’s called Polyamory. Coming Out About Your Non-Monogamous Relationships” by Tamara Pincus and Rebecca Hiles, Thorntree Press. Avaiable on Amazon. 

You can find Allie's wordpress site here: https://polyamorouslibrarian.wordpress.com/. You can also connect with her on Facebook or  @HelloLibrarian on Twitter.
