#22 - Fear is an inevitable part of life and the lifestyle, so what can we do to fight fear in our relationships? It's a pretty simple solution, but takes a bit to pinpoint exactly what you're afraid of before you can go about tackling it, which is what we're going to walk/talk you through today!

#21 - We're at the end of the series and by now you've set your boundaries before going out, went on your date or to your party/club, and now it's all over. Or is it? What do you do now before you go rinse and repeat your rules and boundaries? This is actually one of Jackie's favorite parts of the night putting the cherry on top, so listen in!

#18 - Hopefully by now in our Rules & Boundaries series that you have some created together with your partner. But what do you do if/when your boundaries get pushed or broken by a couple you're playing with or even by your own partner? How do you let the other person know? Why is it important that you let the other person know? Let's talk about that in today's episode!

#17 - One of THE MOST IMPORTANT places to start if you're considering an open relationship is going over the rules and boundaries with your partner. If you don't, you're going to inevitably encounter unnecessary drama, problems, and headaches (and no one's got time for that)! Start your lifestyle right with creating (or revisiting) rules and boundaries that work for you and your partner(s).
