  • Amory 59 | The Paradox of Love

    Can you feel love without feeling pain? What happens when you discuss changes in the relationship BEFORE they happen? Can you create a sense of safety as you step into the unknown? Kyle and Megan open up vulnerably about possible changes in their relationship, based on unmet needs. AND, they get closer in the process.

  • Amory 58 | Finding Self-Worth: Megan’s Story

    Kyle interviewed me in mid-November while we were on a two week trip together. It was emotional for me to be asked these questions - Kyle knows me so well so he really went into the heart of a few issues around motherhood while practicing polyamory, self-worth and my vision of the future. I invite you to consider how you would answer these questions for yourself!!!

    • Amory 57 | Coffee Cup Relationship Mistakes

      Lots of laughs in this one as Kyle and I describe coffee cup relationship mistakes...aka: the desire to be right. It shows up everywhere - in our intimate relationships, in our workplaces, and society at large. So, what do we do with this desire to be right? How do we navigate through it in a healthy way that actually supports our growth, individually and collectively? We hope you get a good laugh with us on this one!

      • Amory 54 | Marty's Last Amory episode

        Yes, this is Marty's last Amory episode. Yes, he deleted his IG account. No, we didn't break up. We have a loving partnership, we're still living together and raising kids together. AND...I have mixed feelings of ending a beautiful chapter of Marty, Kyle and I sharing our polyamorous journey. I am very excited to be continuing Amory with Kyle and so excited for all of the topics we'll be exploring with you. So...happy, sad, grateful, nostalgic, excited...everything at once. More details in the podcast episode, of course.
