    What Ethical Non-Monogamy Can Teach Us About ALL Healthy Relationships

    Send us a text Join Marc Almodovar, Founder of the Men's ADHD Support Group, and Kyrus Westcott of The Vibe with Ky as they explore what some think is a taboo subject: Ethical Non-Monogamy. But here's the thing, this isn't a talk about whether you should practice ethical non-monogamy. It's about what ENM can teach us about communication, boundaries, consent, and intentional relationship design, skills that make every relationship healthier, regardless of structure. When you can't rely on default relationship scripts, you have to talk about everything. You have to get clear on what you want, what you need, and what your boundaries actually are. That clarity? It's valuable for everyone. In this conversation, Marc and Kyrus explore: Why clear communication beats assumptions every timeHow to identify and communicate your actual needs (not just what you think you're supposed to want)The difference between agreements and expectationsWhy boundaries are about you, not controlling someone elseHow to design relationships that actually work for the people in themYou don't need to be interested in ENM to benefit from this. You don't need to agree with it. You're here to learn, not to commit to anything. Take what fits your life and leave the rest. This is a safe conversation. You're allowed to be curious. You're allowed to feel uncomfortable, excited, confused, or skeptical. All of it belongs here. Whether you're in a traditional relationship, single, or exploring other options, the relationship skills discussed apply. Because healthy relationships—of any structure—are built on the same foundation: honesty, communication, and intentional choice.
