Ep. 35: Evita "Lavitaloca" Sawyers
A fabulous time was had with the incredible Evita "Lavitaloca Sawyers" - as we discussed her journey as a black, queer, femme person into the worlds of non-monogamy, polyamory and kink! She shared with us her insights, wisdom and we enjoyed every minute!

Ep. 34: Sex After Childbirth with Special Guest Anne Chronnell
Disclaimer: This episode focuses on vaginal birth only and may contain triggering information for some listeners. The term "normal" birth is used ironically and in the video version on YouTube you can see that Anne uses quotation marks.
If you or your partner has recently given birth, here's a podcast for you! In this episode, we welcome our special guest counsellor Anne Chronnell who specializes in helping us navigate major life events such as childbirth and parenting.
We chat about what the body goes through and needs to heal from, expectations we/our partners/or society places upon the birther, ways to build intimacy with your partner, and how to support someone who's given birth.
Note: we recognize not all birthing parents identify as female and may use terminology other than "mother" to describe themselves.
Find out more about Anne and her work at https://redtentcounselling.ca or reach her directly at her email: info@redtentcounselling.ca
Anne is hosting an in-person workshop for new birthers with babies 0-6 months old in January 2024 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.

Ep. 33: Comparison in Non-Monogamy
Comparison is the thief of joy! You may have heard that, recognize its importance and STILL suffer with comparison.
We chat in this episode about our experiences with comparison, how it's shown up in our relationships and what we can do to help manage or reframe comparison to make it more helpful!
While we focused in this episode on the differences in relationships to highlight their uniqueness, it is also worth noting that you may find yourself comparing similarities - which can lead to feeling "replaceable". Again, refocusing on what makes you special and unique as a human will help with those feelings. Also asking for reassurances from your partner(s).
Books recommended: "Polywise" by Jessica Fern and David Cooley, and "The Body is Not an Apology" by Sonya Renee Taylor as well as the Workbook "Your Body is Not an Apology" by the same author.
Error: Around 2:20 Leanne said "I'm comparing myself to my partner" but what she meant was "comparing myself to my meta" - although it also points out that you may feel competitive with your partner as well!

Ep 32: Polywise with Jessica Fern & David Cooley
We were super jazzed to have psychotherapist and author of "Polysecure", Jessica Fern, return with her co-author David Cooley to chat about their new book, "Polywise" which is an amazing resource on healthy relating. We discuss restorative relationship conversations, parts work, codependency, ambiamory and how Eastern philosophy helped shaped their journey, as well as we dive into their own relationship history. Eye-opening and genuine conversation with two awesome humans! We had a blast!
NOTE: Outtakes at the end!
