Is jealousy actually good for your relationship? Foster and Cesar sit down with relationship coach and non-monogamy educator Ally Iseman, for a candid conversation about opening their relationship and the practice of ethical non-monogamy (ENM) or consensual non-monogamy (CNM) – wait, what’s the difference?? Turns out there’s a skill set behind building conscious partnerships. Ally offers a compassionate framework that challenges the inherited scripts most of us never questioned. Whether you're polyamorous, monogamous, or simply curious about what healthy relationships can look like, this conversation is a masterclass in emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the courage it takes to truly know yourself.

In this episode they explore: 

• Is jealousy actually good for your relationship?
• The one question to ask before you open your relationship
• How to stay emotionally connected to your partner while exploring non-monogamy
• The four types of jealousy and what each one is trying to tell you
