50. Non-Monogamy Wasn't The Plan - But It Was The Portal

This is the story I never really told—until now.

Non-monogamy was never the plan. I didn’t set out to become a polyamorous coach or burn down my life. I was just trying to follow what felt true in my body. But one unexpected conversation cracked something open, and what followed was a years-long initiation—through heartbreak, miscarriage, miscommunication, travel, grief, desire, community, and finally, love.

In this 50th episode, I share the real story of how I got here—not as a coach or content creator, but as a human. The unraveling of monogamy. The ache that wouldn’t go away. The partners who couldn’t meet me. The ones who did. And the slow becoming of someone who lives love as devotion, not performance.

This episode is raw. Intimate. Honest. A little celebratory, a little bittersweet. And it marks both a closing—and a becoming.

🌿 I’ll be taking a short pause from the podcast until the fall as I reorient behind the scenes and prepare to bring in a new season with powerful guest voices and deeper conversations.
