📚 Summary

Open Relating: When It's All Fire and When It's a Total Fiasco

In this sizzling episode of Babe Philosophy, Liv and Meli dive headfirst into the stormy seas of open relating and polyamory. They kick off with a fiery discussion on the importance of trust—not just between partners, but in oneself. Trust, they argue, is the bedrock that ensures you can navigate the inevitable challenges of an ever-evolving relationship dynamic. But don't worry, it’s not all heavy stuff! There's a fun segue featuring Meli’s artistically 'juicy' fruit paintings that add a touch of sexy, artsy flair to the conversation. As they move deeper, Liv and Meli dissect what makes open relating a euphoric experience versus a catastrophic one.

They stress that communication is key, but it should come from a place of true self-trust and not as a mere tool for avoidance. They also delve into the intricacies of balancing personal boundaries against the ebb and flow of relational dynamics. Liv candidly shares her journey of moving from an outright 'hell no' to a curious 'maybe,' revealing the inner work and trust-building that has facilitated her cautious exploration. Meli, on the other hand, provides a grounded perspective on why some people might be amenable to open relating while others might find it a risky venture better left untried.

They conclude by contemplating the role of avoiding darkness and the negative impact of pursuing open relating for the wrong reasons. Throw in some spicy anecdotes, insightful analogies, and a sprinkle of sass, and you’ve got one hell of a conversation on your hands. Whether you're firmly monogamous, curiously open, or somewhere in the middle, this episode has something juicy for everyone. 🥂✨
