Hey friends! We’re going on a journey with Nicoletta Heidegger, therapist, sexologist, and host of the "Sluts and Scholars" podcast, as we chat about the world of non-monogamy on my latest podcast episode. Nicoletta opened up about her 7-year exploration from monogamy to embracing a non-monogamous lifestyle, sharing the raw challenges she encountered along the way. From aligning with partners who share her vision to battling the need to feel "special" and dismantling a scarcity mindset, Nicoletta's story is both vulnerable and profoundly relatable.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Some of the joys and challenges of navigating non-monogamous relationships.
• Some Strategies for overcoming common hurdles in the transition to non-monogamy.
• The importance of building connections with seasoned individuals in the non-monogamous community.
• Techniques for nervous system regulation to achieve relationship harmony.
• The critical role of self-awareness in cultivating healthy and fulfilling relationships.
