In this episode, Leon and Rashi discuss polyamory, getting to know yourself and prioritising compatibility in relationship. Leon describes what he finds attractive in partners and highlights open and honest communication as the hallmark of any healthy exploration.

TW: This episode is not a debate on polyamory vs. monogamy nor advocating for any one type of relationship structure. If you are inherently curious about ethical non monogamy then this is for you. If not, feel free to skip this one. I don't align with it at this time and will share more about my personal lessons down the line.
