Not A Unicorn Michelle DesRosiers

In this episode, we break from the traditional format of the podcast so  far and invited Jacki and Gord to discuss the nuances of couple  privilege.
The discussion lends perspectives from a solo polyam lens as well as a  nesting couple; in hopes to share experiences and knowledge on how  couple privilege is identified and how the effects can be mitigated

Why are romantic / sexual relationship consider superior to friendships? What exactly makes friendships different than partnerships? In this weeks episode, we will take a deeper look at perceptions, attitudes and language surrounding friendships and how we can shift from friendships as a supportive role in life to ones that are fully enriching on their own. As usual, tips and homework!

In this episode, we will examine how behaviour manifests itself in various relationship structures but most notably, in romantic and sexual configurations. We will focus on how proponents of "healthy" hierarchy comes from the perspective of a core couple and rather takes into account those who benefit the least. And some helpful exercises to help shift language, labels and entanglement! It's a short one but well worth a listen!

In this episode, we unpack the many ways that our language and actions centre other people and/or relationship configurations over ourselves. It's important to see that centring yourself isn't selfishbut rather has us honouring our space while holding that space for others.

BONUS: There is also some tips and exercises on how to bring it all back to YOU.
