Listen Later

Summary

Jess is passionate about helping others in taking steps to design and embrace their relationship(S) dreams! She shares her knowledge and personal stories through the lens of a trained clinician, in hopes that others can reach relationship success.


In this episode, you’ll learn about:

  • How grief can show up as part of your CNM journey

  • How couples can navigate differences in their desires for non-monogamy when one partner is more interested than the other

  • How starting the opening up conversation with your "why" rather than "what" will lead you to better understanding

  • What steps can a newbie take after having the initial conversation with their partner about non-monogamy

  • How couples can address disagreements or differing opinions when it comes to setting boundaries

  • Jess is a licensed therapist, clinical social worker, and ethical non-monogamy relationship coach. After opening her previously monogamous relationship of six years, Jess quickly learned just how little information there was out there from professionals on how to navigate non-monogamy.


    Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

    "Humans evolve and change, and we don't want them to be stagnant because that would be hella boring."

    “Don't start engaging with people talking with people putting it out there that you're until you've at least had that initial relationship agreement and boundary conversation because it's just, it's just not gonna go well.”
