    [Part 2] Open Relating: When is it good and when is it bad?

    DOWNLOAD "THE POWER OF TOO MUCH," our FREE modern-day grimoire that helps you reclaim your intensity, your magic, and your voice: https://babephilosophy.com 📚 Summary Open Relating: When It's All Fire and When It's a Total Fiasco In this sizzling episode of Babe Philosophy, Liv and Meli dive headfirst into the stormy seas of open relating and polyamory. They kick off with a fiery discussion on the importance of trust—not just between partners, but in oneself. Trust, they argue, is the bedrock that ensures you can navigate the inevitable challenges of an ever-evolving relationship dynamic. But don't worry, it’s not all heavy stuff! There's a fun segue featuring Meli’s artistically 'juicy' fruit paintings that add a touch of sexy, artsy flair to the conversation. As they move deeper, Liv and Meli dissect what makes open relating a euphoric experience versus a catastrophic one.  They stress that communication is key, but it should come from a place of true self-trust and not as a mere tool for avoidance. They also delve into the intricacies of balancing personal boundaries against the ebb and flow of relational dynamics. Liv candidly shares her journey of moving from an outright 'hell no' to a curious 'maybe,' revealing the inner work and trust-building that has facilitated her cautious exploration. Meli, on the other hand, provides a grounded perspective on why some people might be amenable to open relating while others might find it a risky venture better left untried.  They conclude by contemplating the role of avoiding darkness and the negative impact of pursuing open relating for the wrong reasons. Throw in some spicy anecdotes, insightful analogies, and a sprinkle of sass, and you’ve got one hell of a conversation on your hands. Whether you're firmly monogamous, curiously open, or somewhere in the middle, this episode has something juicy for everyone. 🥂✨ ⌛ Chapters 00:00 The Foundation of Trust in Open Relationships 01:11 Welcome to Babe Philosophy with Liv and Meli 02:19 Diving into Open Relating: Good vs. Bad 03:23 Personal Experiences and Disclaimers 04:45 The Importance of Communication in Open Relationships 07:32 Positive Scenarios for Open Relating 10:34 Avoidance and Communication Challenges 14:17 Constant Recalibration in Open Relationships 17:33 Trust as the Cornerstone of Open Relating 20:47 Self-Trust and Relationship Fortification 26:27 Navigating 'No' in Open Relationships 26:53 Deepening Intimacy Through Open Relating 27:28 Avoiding Distraction and External Focus 28:48 Misconceptions and Realities of Open Relating 29:44 The Risks and Rewards of Open Relating 32:10 The Fire Analogy: Managing Multiple Partners 35:44 Communication and Trust in Open Relationships 37:24 When Open Relating Isn't Right for You 41:40 Listener Engagement and Final Thoughts 💖 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/babe.philosophy/  🔗 Website - https://babephilosophy.com 🤑 Free month of Spiritual Investor Club (use code BABE) - https://the-spiritual-investor.mn.co/plans/1538847?bundle_token=9f767ec3bbb60e6cf2327fbcd7112b8f&utm_source=manual  #babephilosophy #podcast #perspectiveshift #mindsetreset (Show notes and captions are AI-assisted.

Through honest, shame-free conversations with badass experts (and a whole lot of TMI), we strive to give our listeners the tools to build their dream life, in and outside of the bedroom.
