Today I am talking with Delphine Lumen. Delphine is someone who has a passion for learning about what makes happy, healthy relationships and has spent the last year or so creating social events like coffee socials, speed dating, and friending events for non monogamous folks. She creates spaces where genuine curiosity is welcome and heteronormativity, cis normativity, and mono-normativity are challenged. 

We talk about her story from growing up in a non-traditional household to spending seven years intentionally celibate before then starting to date and engage in polyamorous relationships. She talks about how people in polyamorous relationships deal with their jealousy and the challenges that are involved in untangling your genuine feelings from societal programming so that you can be authentically yourself in relationships.

💨 TLDR;

• What does it mean to be polyamorous?
• What it was like to start dating again as a polyamorous person
• The challenges of being non-monogamous
• Jealousy and non-monogamous conditioning
• The spectrum of non-monogamy
• Coffee socials, speed dating, and friending events
• Being authentically you
