Kites & Strings: Relationship Roles and Dynamics in Non-Monogamy
It's said that in successful relationships, there's always a kite and a string. Which are you?
You may have heard of this metaphor which is often used to describe dynamics in monogamous couples, but does it apply to the world of non-monogamy as well?
Join us for a brand newLet’s Talk Polyamory podcast: Kites & Strings: Relationship Roles and Dynamics in Non-Monogamy
We’ll explore what it means to be a kite or a string, how these roles may shift when we interact with other kites and strings, and the dynamics of pairing with different types of partners.
We’ll also discuss how someone might yearn to step into a different role than they usually occupy—like a married person with kids and family responsibilities who gets to feel the exhilarating freedom of being the kite when with another partner and perhaps wants their spouse to be the string more often!
Watch this insightful conversation at 11AM Eastern on our page, Instagram and on YouTube or stream later on your favourite podcasting platform - Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio and YouTube Podcasts!

How Much Do I Want To Know: From DADT to All the Juicy Details
How much do you want to know about your partners' activities?
In this week’s podcast we are talking Relationship styles in non-monogamy, in particular how much to share with your partners!
Watch the live video broadcast Monday, August 5 at 11AM Eastern or listen to it on your favourite podcasting platform - Apple, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music or iHeart Radio!
This is one of the big questions that people often struggle with (and are often at odds with) in non-monogamous relationships. How much do I want to know? And how much should I know?
Some prefer the Don’t ask, don’t tell model where everything is unsaid. It’s a … I’d rather not know because what I don’t know won’t hurt me? But is that true?
As I said to a client recently, when we avoid hearing from our partners about their experiences, at least the part where they share how they feel about them, our brains do this thing I like to call “fill in the blanks” or “choose your own adventure” and that filling in of the story is often much worse then knowing the true things.
There’s also the matter of when others all involved that their privacy also matters, even though they may share a partner with us.

Pardon Me But You're Stepping on My Boundaries
Personal boundaries… they’re the imaginary lines we can draw around ourselves to maintain balance and protect our bodies, minds, emotions, and time for ourselves and from the behaviour or demands of others.
Our boundaries are most effective when we are first clear about them ourselves and then when we communicate them to others.
If you find it hard to share your boundaries, you are not alone.
Even when someone crosses our boundaries (intentionally or unintentionally), common worries are that we are asking for too much, being too difficult or if we say something, they might not like us.
This week on the podcast which we are releasing LIVE at 11AM Eastern we are our topic is Pardon Me But You’re Stepping on My Boundaries.
In this episode you’ll learn:
� What personal boundaries are vs. agreements or rules we might have with our partner(s);
� Why boundaries are important (hint: it’s about you)
� How to set your boundaries; and
� How to communicate them (and why people want to know your boundaries)
And stay to the end as we have a great worksheet to share with you so you can set your boundaries and have them stick!
If you'd like it to feel EASIER to communicate your boundaries and feel SECURE in your open or polyamorous relationship, we can help! Book a complimentary call where we can speak confidentially about your personal circumstances and how we can work together - https://go.taraandandre.com/book-with-us or jump right into our Poly Newbies Digital Course (now at a special price for our community) which has a proven system that will provide you with a foundation for success - https://courses.letstalkpolyamory.com/polynewbiesspecialoffer

Relationship Rules by the Numbers: 1-1-1 to 69!
You’ve probably seen the various “rules” out there that attempt to be clever by using numbers to describe what you should or shouldn’t do in a relationship or in dating.
Some of this stuff is really bad… like trying to learn how to be a great lover by watching porn. And just for the record, porn for porn sake is cool… it’s just not an ideal education tool!
In this coming week’s brand new Let’s Talk Polyamory Podcast - Relationship Rules by the Numbers: 1-1-1 to 69 - we take an informative and humorous look at these relationship rules, debunk many of them and provide solid advice on what things you'll want to consider to have secure, successful and sexy polyamorous relationships!
Watch the LIVE video broadcast at 11AM Eastern on Monday, July 22 on our Let’s Talk Polyamory Podcast page, Youtube or Instagram.

Accidental Polyamory: Now What?

This is what some call those unexpected journeys that lead individuals and couples into exploring polyamory dynamics either as a willing participant or with some fear or resistance.
Watch the LIVE broadcast of the episode "Accidental Polyamory: Now What?" at 11AM Eastern on the Let's Talk Polyamory Podcast page, YouTube or on Instagram or streaming on your favourite podcasting platform a little later in the day!
We’ll cover various unexpected scenarios one can find themselves in.
Imagine you're in a monogamous relationship, and suddenly, one partner expresses a desire to explore consensual non-monogamy or open the relationship. How do you navigate those conversations and potential changes?
Or, picture this: you're single and enjoying the dating scene when you meet someone amazing, only to find out they are polyamorous. How do you handle being with someone with multiple partners,and determine if this is a relationship style that suits you?
Maybe you’re already non-monogamous - like a swinger or in an open relationship - and then you or your partner start developing deeper emotional connections and want to shift to a more polyamorous model. How do you handle this significant change?
We’ll also share other definitions and terms you might come across in these situations like cowboy/cowgirl and poly-bombing.
Join us as we share real stories, expert insights, and practical advice for anyone finding themselves unexpectedly on the path to polyamory.
Whether you’re curious about polyamory, already practicing some form of non-monogamy or simply interested in the diverse ways people love and connect, this episode is for you!
