Welcome to Episode 17! How would you label your relationship? Is it Open? Are you Swingers? Do you think you have a more Poly bent? Do you have a problem with labels? Would you categorize your relationship in another way? Sometimes labels can limit the idea of something, but labels can also give us some idea of what we mean. In today's episode Monet will take a deeper dive into what some of these labels mean and how they help us define what our situation might be. Listen in as Monet and her special guest share their experiences with these labels and the best practices to use them (according to her journey). Would you agree or disagree with these? And are there others that you have heard?

Here is the US March is primary season, meaning everyone is trying to pick their top political candidate to elect.

In the LS or ENM world, Primary means our Nesting partner/spousal/primary relationship while seeing other "candidates" (see what we did there?).

Monet and D will share some scenarios, experiences, and (hopefully) some solutions for you as to how to make sure you and your "elected official" don't make like Congress and fall into a scandal (ok, enough political puns....but that was punny, huh?). Join them on this journey that hopefully will help make your relationship(s) grow in a healthy and fulfilling manner.
