You’re not broken. You just never learned how to say the hard thing without burning everything down.
In this episode, I’m sharing how to actually talk about the uncomfortable stuff in non-monogamy—without losing your shit or starting a relationship wildfire.
Whether you're afraid of hurting someone, scared to be misunderstood, or just tired of swallowing your truth, this is your starting point for braver, clearer communication.
What you’ll learn:
→ How to understand your silence survival pattern
→ The exact steps to prep for hard conversations
→ Why blurting is not the same as honesty
→ The “truth sandwich” that isn’t manipulative
→ How to handle defensiveness and emotional shutdowns
→ What to say when it all goes sideways (and why repair = magic)
You deserve relationships where the truth can live—and still be loved.
