In a throuple, the strength of each 1-on-1 relationship (aka, “dyad”) will make or break the relationship. We are Char, Josh, and Liv, a throuple that lives together and is raising kids together. In this episode, we share how we have learned to make space for the individual dyads within our polyamorous triad. From discussing the practical logistics of how we make time for each relationship (arranging childcare, sharing calendars, etc.) to how we address challenges such as jealousy and FOMO, we hope this conversation is helpful for any poly family that wants to make sure each relationship thrives and experiences more fulfillment, support, and compersion!

coming soon

Tyler, Crystal, and Robin are a polyamorous “V” MFM triad with Crystal as the hinge partner, who all live and raise children together. Listen in to hear how their relationship dynamic works so well for each of them and why, knowing what they know now, none of them would choose a different family structure. Their beautiful story of deep, abiding love, coupled with resilience and commitment to personal growth, is sure to be an inspiration.

Regardless of whether you ever personally believed the restrictions and stigmas that purity culture and other toxic ideologies have used to shame our sexuality, these faulty beliefs have far-reaching negative impacts on our lives and relationships. In this episode, Dr. Danielle Kramer, a certified sex therapist and board-certified clinical sexologist, joins Char, Josh, and Liv to discuss the ways these damaging teachings are influencing our relationships, regardless of our personal beliefs.

Char, Josh, and Liv are a throuple that lives and raises their children together in Texas. Through open and honest conversations they aim to change societal relationship norms by proving that monogamy is not the only healthy relationship structure.

Dr. Danielle Kramer (she/they) is a certified sex therapist and board-certified clinical sexologist who splits their time between clinical practice, research, and consulting. In clinical practice, Dr. Kramer specializes in the care of LGBTQ+ folks and women’s/AFAB (assigned female at birth) sexual health. Dr. Kramer was raised in purity culture and devotes a significant amount of their practice to working with religious and sexual trauma, as well as being the only certified sex therapist in the Florida Panhandle providing gender-affirming care. In research, Dr. Kramer focuses on misogyny in the US, abortion care and access, and AFAB sexual health. Dr. Kramer also consults at the local, state, and national levels on the politics and policy of abortion care and access. Dr. Kramer is a member of American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (ASSECT); The American Alternative Sexualities Health Research Alliance (TASHRA); and the Sexual Health Alliance.
