Dear listener, consider this your trigger warning. This episode is not a debate on polyamory vs. monogamy nor advocating for any one type of relationship structure. If you are inherently curious about ethical non monogamy then this is for you. If not, feel free to skip this one. I don't align with it at this time and will share more about my personal lessons down the line.
