Testing the Waters of Polyamory

Polyamory is something that-- like many topics within sexuality-- can carry a lot of misconceptions, judgement, and shame. But it’s also one of many types of relationship structures that we as humans have access to, so it’s not as far removed from your sexuality as you might have thought up until now. 

If polyamory feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable to you, tune into this episode to dip a toe in the water. You’ll hear not only some tips and insights from whole-person life and relationship coach Alyssa Keegan, but also explore some of the ways polyamory intersects with the outdoors through the eyes of thru hiker and artist Alina Drufkova.

This insight-dense episode is the first of many conversations we’ll have on the show about polyamory, so join us and let’s learn together.
