Greg and Leanne delve into what we can do in our Poly/CNM relationships - OR any relationship structure - to address the very foundational need to feel special. There are things we can request, advocate for and create for our relationships to foster and recognize our unique connection with each person in our lives.

Trigger warning.  

In this episode, coaches Leanne and Greg talk about what consent is, what it isn't, who can give consent and what red flags to look for in case someone isn't capable of speaking up when they are uncomfortable. They share their own experiences and hope to inspire others to be able to seek enthusiastic consent in their relationships always.  This episode uses some graphic sexual terms, profanity and refers to sexual assault.

Greg and Leanne Million, coaches in Personal Development and Relationships, offer tips on using tools instead of creating rules within relationships. If you or someone you know tries to control the behaviour of others by establishing rules, Greg and Leanne show how this is ineffective and what can be done instead. By changing the focus to communication, and by recognizing the other person's autonomy over their own decisions, the tools they share help create a safe space in which everyone's needs are considered.   To connect with Greg or Leanne or learn more about the coaching services they offer visit them at: https://www.gregmillion.com/   or   https://www.leannemillion.com/
