In this episode, I chat with Irene Morning about the healing power of non-monogamous relationships, why nervous system care is REQUIRED for exploring non-monogamy, and how to use pleasure to expand your capacity. Together we explore:
What are consensual non-monogamy and polyamory relationships
Why people may be interested in exploring these types of relationships
The importance of communication skills and understanding your nervous system capacity in relationships
How to begin exploring non-monagamy so you don't overwhelm your nervous system and actually set yourself up for success
Combining somatic skills and relational skills to support healthy non-monogamy
How differentiating between jealousy and envy can lead to more clarity
Moving at the pace of the 'slowest' person in opening up a relationship
What the relationship escalator is and why it can be better for your relationship to do it your way, like living separately, instead of following social norms
Expanding the notion of pleasure with Irene’s framework of four realms of pleasure
The role of pleasure in healing from trauma and expanding nervous system capacity
Using pleasure as a guide for making relationship decisions and setting boundaries
Irene guides us in a five senses somatic body scan that explores pleasure through the senses

Dr. Hazel-Grace Yates (they/them): In their 13 years as a sex and relationship coach, Hazel-Grace discovered that many couples who wanted better sex were in fact blocked by unresolved emotional hurts. The quality of their communication was the real roadblock. The skills that helped the couples resolve and heal these communication gaps transformed their capacity for intimacy, in and out of the bedroom.
Their innovative, fun, and educational style of sex and intimacy coaching is born out of their deep commitment to creating a more compassionate, loving and safe world.
As an evolutionary educator, they bring a unique blend of professional know-how, playful curiosity, authentic communication and personal vulnerability to their practice.
Qualifications: Phd in Human Sexuality, Trauma-Informed Somatic Sex Educator, Certified Sex Coach, Sexological Bodywork Practitioner, Certified Circling Facilitator, Shadow EFT Practitioner in Training and a Queer Competency Certification.

Rachel, also known as Rae, is a seasoned somatic trauma resolution practitioner whose work currently focuses on sexual healing, codependency, and sovereignty. She often works with coaches, healers and leaders who’ve done all “the work” and yet still sense there are unseen life-degenerating patterns dictating their reality. Her work goes far beyond the typical somatic experiencing principles and enters into the nature and energetic or mystical realms of the unseen. She currently lives in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, the original home of the Tiwa, also known as Taos, New Mexico.
