  • We are continuing on with our celebration of Pride Month with this week's episode all on queer joy!

    What has queer joy looked and felt like for us over our own evolution? What are the simple moments of queer joy? The larger ones? What makes these moments so impactful and necessary?

    Queer joy can carry different meanings for each individual, but the common thread we hear is just that little spark you feel that brings something unique to your queer experience. We would love to hear what some moments of queer joy for you have been!

  • Ooooh happy PRIDE month y'all! For the month of June, we are going to be focusing on topics solely connected to being queer and celebrating those who are members of the alphabet mafia!

    This first episode of our Pride Month series is all about how our relational patterns often block us from our fullest queer expressions. We dive into the patterns that we both experience in this realm, and E has some breakthroughs of clarity for herself!

    Come and learn with us about the challenges we have faced, what has helped us to move through them (which includes having this podcast), and get curious around how this all plays out for you!

  • Unmet expectations in relationships are some of the biggest causes of upset.

    We have said that as part of a number of episodes, but in this week's episode, we are diving right into the heart of it. This is something we see in our work with clients ALL the time - getting lost in the expectations (whether made known or not), rather than being with the reality of the situation.

    And it is so often that resistance to being with the reality of a situation, person, relationship, experience, etc. that we create even more suffering for ourselves and our loved ones.

    So, how does this show up in queer and poly dynamics? Well, a lot of different ways and we go over some of the common ones that we see play out, as well as those that we have experienced ourselves. And don't worry, we don't leave you hanging without any actions you can take around this for yourself and your relationships!

    What have been some challenging expectations that you have had to release or address when they are not lining up with the reality of your relationships?

  • We have LOTS of lessons from therapy, both individual and couples therapy, but in this first round, we go over one of the lessons that clicked for E in a much more embodied way last year.

    So often we see with clients, and also know from personal experience, that we try with all our might to not impact our partners. We think about all the ways that we can avoid bringing up a tough topic or just "deal" with it when there is something that is bothering us in a relationship out of fear of upsetting the other person.

    In this episode, we talk about what this lesson has meant for us personally, and how we have seen it playing out with clients, as well as giving you practical points to consider and reflect on to better understand how this is playing out in your relationships!

  • Got a case of "comparisonitis"? Have no fear, the queer and poly coaches are here!

    But, seriously, let's talk about comparison in your poly relationships. We dive into what we have seen as common pitfalls in this area from working with our clients, as well as questions to ask yourself to help determined what insecurities may be most common in these types of experiences for you.

    What are some actions to take to help yourself? What conversations need to be had? What conversations don't need to be had? All this and plenty more in this episode on a very natural human phenomena in any style of relating.

  • Okay, so this is not going to be a step-by-step process on how to find partners...but, we will go over what actually works in connecting with people that are actually aligned for you and what you want! This is based on what we have experienced personally in the poly dating space, as well as what we have seen with the clients we coach.

    On this episode, we dive into the pitfalls and limiting beliefs that we see come up when people ask, "but, WHERE do I actually find polyamorous people to date??". We scope out a bit more broadly to navigate answering this question, but then hone right back into the important pieces that will actually help you create the dating experience you truly want.

  • You know it's a good one when there is a "should" in the title. In this episode, we take some inspiration from a question that came up from a client and explore the pros and cons of there being a definitive definition of polyamory.

    There are rants, lots of poly terms, and a trip to IKEA made to guide us along this conversation.

    What are your thoughts on the question that we pose in this episode?

  • Building from last week, here comes part 2! As you can tell, we could talk for hours on green flags and some of the components to look for in a compatible partner.

    We explore a little more on NRE, compatibility, the balance of structure and flow in a dynamic, and also have a little treat for you at the end!

  • That's right, this is just part 1! We talked on red flags in the last episode so it was only fitting to go right into green flags.

    Yes, we identify specific green flags to keep an eye out for in queer and poly relationships, but we also dive a little deeper in the nuances of dating different genders and the expectations that arise there.

    Li goes on a rant, E laughs, and it's just another day in the neighborhood of the shenanigans that ensue when two relationship nerds go into this requested topic. Stay tuned for even more on green flags in part 2 coming out next week!

  • A juicy topic that often brings up a lot of questions from people...red flags in relationships. What are some major red flags, as well as some that are more subtle? How do you address them?

    We could talk a lot more on this subject (and probably will in future episodes), but today we share about red flags that we have experiences, as well as some that we see from clients in their queer and poly relationships.

    What are some red flags that you would add to what we shared?

  • We are building from the last episode (so go check that out if you haven't!) and diving deeper in to the topic of self-expression in relationships.

    What does it even look like to create relationships that actually have the space to not only have you be fully self-expressed, but also the space for your continued growth and evolution in your self-expression?

    Come and join us as we share more on our own experiences, and what we have seen work successfully with clients in creating these relationship dynamics!

  • It can be one of the most courageous acts in a relationship...to be fully and completely self-expressed.

    You are a dynamic being, ever evolving and changing. Do your relationships allow for your expansion of self and is that celebrated?

    We dive deep into what it means to be fully self-expressed in relationships, as well as the consequences that come when you find that you are unable to. Through our own experiences and stories, we will share what has helped us to feel more self-expressed in relationships, and what we have learned from working with clients on this very important piece of relating.

  • Coming from the perspective of someone assigned female at birth and raised in the societal expectations for a woman, what happens when you become more masculine in your appearance, mannerisms, and place in society?

    We go into what it is to each of us and some of the misconceptions that surrounds this idea. And let's make it clear - unconditional love does not mean unconditional tolerance. Oh yes, we go into it.

    What does unconditional love mean to you? And what would some ways that you could express that to someone else?
