🎙For the first time ever, we’ve invited guests onto the pod—and it’s a juicy one. Our dear friends Chloe and Michel join us to share their 12-year polyamorous journey: from almost breaking up on date one to building a family, a business, and a deeply secure open relationship. Chloe (a relationship coach) opens up about what changed when she stopped playing small, while Michel shares the unexpected gift that came from facing his jealousy head-on. 💥

We talk real intimacy, evolving desires, healing through open love, and the difference between feeling “owned” vs. feeling claimed. 💫 Plus—how opening their marriage actually made their partnership stronger than ever. Whether you’re just curious or years into non-monogamy, this one’s full of truth bombs and heart. ❤️

In this long-promised episode, Aiden interviews Anna about her 20-year experience on the birth control pill—and the profound changes she experienced when she finally stopped them. From libido and attraction, mood and metabolism, nothing was untouched... and no one had warned her.

This isn’t an anti-pill debate—it’s a conversation about informed choice, full of jaw-dropping research, real-life lab data, and one woman’s journey back to herself. If you or someone you love is on hormonal birth control, don’t miss this one. 💥

Note: Anna is a functional medicine health coach, not a doctor. She’s sharing her personal experience and research for educational purposes only, to help listeners feel informed, curious, and empowered to have deeper conversations with their own providers. 💛

🎙️ In this episode, we’re riding high on the glow of a dreamy, disco-fueled night—roller skates 🛼, glitter, and all. After weeks of talking through every possible scenario (same-room? separate play? group energy?), the night unfolded in a way we never quite expected… and it changed something between us.

From Aiden’s euphoric modern disco DJ set to an unexpected intimate moment in a pile of pillows with Superman and Wonder Woman (you’ll see), this night reminded us why we do this—and what we’re really looking for underneath all the exploration.

We dive into what makes these parties feel so expansive, pressure-free, and honestly… kind of healing. Whether you’re cuddling over tea, giggling through a flirt, or witnessing a beautiful group scene (👀 yes, that happened too!) this episode is a love letter to curiosity, safety, and connection.

Wondering how a lifestyle event like this one might unlock new layers of connection and curiosity with your partner? This episode will take you there. 💛

🎙️ Hey guys! In episode 33, we continue to peel back the layers of the onion as we revisit our feelings around separate play—especially rules vs. no rules. Our conversation dives into how our understanding of ethical non-monogamy keeps evolving—not just as a lifestyle, but as a powerful relationship lab where radical honesty deepens intimacy.

We ask: Is wanting to witness each other’s separate play 👀about being aroused? Or does it just feel more safe? 🛟 Does giving someone total freedom make the giver feel more loved—or more replaceable? From the hotwife dynamic to jealousy-as-turn-on, to the tough question“What if my partner starts wanting more from a play partner?” 😳

As a bonus, Anna shares her revealing post-processing thoughts in an addendum at the end of the episode.

We also, talk about what different types of orgasms can mean with full-time partners vs. play partners 😳, and explore whether “no rules” is a radical form of love? Or just clever emotional armor?

In this episode we also share a preview of our Nicaragua retreat for ENM newbies! See the FB group for deatails.

If you’re in the swirl of learning what's next, this one’s for you. 💥

🎙️ We’re back with Part 2 of our messy, honest unpacking of our recent separate play experience—because after sleeping on it, we definitely had more to say. 😅 We talk through everything from compersion to comparison, fairness in play, and what happens when that “good girl” programming meets a slutty experiment gone sideways. We get real about jealousy, 'justice', triggers from past relationships, and what it means to truly support your partner and yourself in ethical non-monogamy.

We also hash out next steps for our upcoming play party—Can separate play ever feel fair? Can Aiden handle DJ'ing while I play with someone else on the mattress in front of him? (Spoiler: maybe 😳) Can we create space for both of us to follow our bliss without losing each other in the process? This one’s full of emotion, laughter, horny hypotheticals, and surprisingly useful bathroom epiphanies. 💭🛁👀

This week, we accidentally-on-purpose found ourselves back at the mic after a wild ride of separate play, compersion, confusion, and emotional curveballs. What started as a sexy conference fantasy between Anna and Aiden quickly turned into real-life challenges involving a surprise hotel hookup, sexting gone feral, and a lesson in how one spicy message can unravel (or ignite) a night. Think: cheating kinks, hotel bars, almost-revenge sex, and way too many emojis.

We dig into what it’s like navigating fairness in play, why “do what you want” can sometimes mask deeper feelings, and how emotional honesty (even when it’s messy) is key to keeping it hot and healthy. We talk compersion vs. cuck, why texting during separate play can derail the vibe, and how we repaired a potential disaster with curiosity, good communication, and late-night honesty. Buckle up, babes—it’s vulnerable, raw, and very us. Fire emoji not optional.

Listen now—and bring your feels. xoxo, Anna & Aiden

🎧 Join us as we kick off Season 2 with a celebration of how far we've come—into deeper love, more freedom, and whole new levels of compersion (that warm feeling of being genuinely happy when your partner is happy—even when it’s with someone else 🥰). We share what it was like attending a spontaneous, sexy strip-club wedding (yes, really), where I found myself locking lips with Superman while Aiden was happily smooching Wonder Woman. It was a moment that showcased the true freedom of our relationship—no expectations, just pure trust, love, and FUN.

I also discuss about the joy of exploring my more dominant, teasing side with other men 😏 and how we’re both learning to lean into new friendships—platonic and otherwise—without tension or fear. There's even a heartwarming moment where I make a new male friend while on vacation, proving that platonic connections can be just as meaningful.

Of course next week I'm sure I'll be back to jealous mate-guarding 🤣😭, but for now we're in a really happy spot, ready for the next challenge to spur on new conversations!💫 xoxo Anna

While Aiden was out of town, I found myself on an unexpected solo adventure—one that turned into a surprising lesson in compersion, communication, and just how much freedom turns us on. What started as an innocent night out with a lifestyle friend quickly had me questioning: was this a casual hangout or something more? Meanwhile, Aiden was miles away, glued to Find My, spiraling into a mix of jealousy and excitement—what we now call jealous-ited—where the uncertainty of my night made him want me even more. 😈🔥

But the real twist? The more we let go of rules, the more intimate and free we feel—with each other and with those we choose to explore with. By the end of the night, I had a whole new level of clarity on what I want, and Aiden? Let’s just say when he got home, he definitely made me pay for being such a naughty little tease. 😏💥

Tune in for the full story of how trust, compersion, and a little bit of jealousy are making our love (and sex life) hotter than ever. 🚀💋.

xoxo, Anna & Aiden

What happens when you really let go of rules about relationships, masculinity, and desire? In this episode, Aiden opens up about his journey from traditional monogamy to non-monogamy—what surprised and challenged him, and how the lifestyle has transformed his confidence in ways he never expected. 👀💪

We break down the unspoken pressure men feel in social settings to protect or assert ownership over "their women" , how seeing your partner flirting can go from a threat to a turn-on, and the unexpected ways open relationships actually strengthen trust.

If you’ve ever wondered what the lifestyle is like from the male perspective, this episode is for you. 🎧🔥

What happens when you realize the label you’ve been using might not fit anymore? In this episode, we take a hard look at where we really belong in the ENM world—are we swingers, open, monogamish, or something in between? Where might you fall? 🤔💭

From redefining our play style to unpacking hidden fantasies (like Anna's cheating kink 👀🔥), this conversation is raw and real. If you’ve ever questioned your desires, struggled to speak up in the moment, or found yourself re-evaluating what you really want from non-monogamy, you won’t want to miss this one! 🎙️💡

Thank you for listening!

❤️ Anna & Aiden
