The very first episode of Normalizing Non-Monogamy! We updated this episode in November 2019.

However, it is also now in an interview format like the rest of our episodes! A.J. Bond, the host of Discomfortable, a podcast about shame, interviewed us about our experience with non-monogamy and we thought it was too good not to share on our channel too. This episode aired on his show in October 2019...

These two have an incredibly heartwarming story and a very deep love and admiration for one another. They're learning to navigate a whole lot of new things together and have been discovering that while it's not always easy, they wouldn't change a thing about it.
