179: She's Poly. Her Fiance is Monogamous. Can a Mono-Poly Relationship Actually Work? | Feat. Fernanda of Polycurious

This week, Elle and Vee sit down with relationship coach and Polycurious host Fernanda Fabian to unpack one of the most misunderstood relationship dynamics: mono-poly relationships. Fernanda shares how she and her monogamous fiancé built a thriving partnership by moving painfully slow, prioritizing trust, and creating predictable check-ins that made difficult conversations feel safe. Together they explore jealousy, reassurance, boundaries, and why most couples sabotage openness by rushing past their nervous system's capacity. If you've ever wondered whether love can survive radically different relationship needs, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know.
