In this episode we'll dive into a subject that touches many people: the role of parental influence on our partner choices, especially during adulthood. While parents provide a unique perspective, everyone should find a balance between valuing that input and asserting their own feelings and opinions. Join us as we explore the delicate balance between honoring the invaluable insights of our parents and embracing our own opinions and desires.

There are many different types of relationships, some are monogamous, and others are not. Ethical non-monogamy, or ENM, refers to a relationship where one or both partners are allowed to have multiple partners. Although we have never had a client looking for this type of relationship, we have had clients who have asked if they can see two women at the same time. It is important to communicate what you are looking for so you don’t get hurt. If you want an exclusive, monogamous relationship, communicate that! If you’re open to trying ethical non-monogamy, or you are single and on dating apps but never knew what ENM meant in someone’s profile, we’ve got you covered.
