In this week's episode, Lauren Hayes, an author, podcast host, and swinging lifestyle coach, joins host G to share her vibrant journey in the swinging and ethical non-monogamy (ENM) world. From her start as a coach to her book For Better or Even Better (cue the drinking game every time G says “book”!), Lauren dishes on spicy moments like a poly friend’s flirtation, navigating “vibes,” and flaky Vegas connections. They also dive into newbie dynamics, the evolution of bedroom talk, and the bold ENM questions she fields on her website.

The conversation gets deep as Lauren discusses swingers falling in love, the poly community’s reactions, and whether love can be controlled. From unexpected bar run-ins to announcing when you’re not playing, Lauren’s stories highlight the humor, heart, and challenges of the lifestyle. The episode wraps with a teaser for next week’s coaching focus, leaving listeners hooked on her candid insights and wild tales.
