    Is Polyamory Right For You?

    This week on Trying To Figure It Out we are diving into all things polyamory. Poly therapist and expert Dr. Manijeh Badiee is here to answer all your questions and share her own experiences in polyamorous relationships. Dr. Badiee lays out all the basics of what polyamory is, and then explains what configurations polyamory can take and what you need to consider before entering a poly relationship. How do you deal with feelings of jealousy? What's the difference between non-monogamy, polyamory, and an open relationship? What boundaries or rules should you set in a poly relationship? Dr. Badiee shares what has worked for her and her two life partners over the years and also brings her wisdom as a therapist working with poly individuals and couples. There is so much to learn.

    COZY SATURDAY: Cooking Comfort Food and Getting Real With You

    Get ready to make some comfort food because I'm taking you into my kitchen for this week's solo episode. I walk you through how to make my grandma's famous eggplant parm while I get real with you about how I've been doing lately. My childhood home is for sale, which has unleashed so many realizations for me about getting older and growing up. Does anyone really know what they're doing in their mid-twenties? To put the cherry on top, my twenty-sixth birthday is coming up and I don't feel like celebrating at all.

    All that more this week on Trying To Figure It Out. Enjoy your eggplant parm!
