  • Balanced, wise and full of compassion

    I love this podcast. Libby is one of the most compassionate and balanced voices I have found in the polyamory podcast world. She is intelligent, clear and has a gift for viewing relationships through a wider lens than most. While she clearly has a perspective rooted in a particular social-political positioning, she makes that visible and doesn’t judge other beliefs or ways of practising polyamory.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I'm Having Dating Success, but my Partner Isn't
Q: What should a man in a monogamy-influenced dynamic focus on to repair his relationship as they open up?
He should start with an internal orientation: track his own feelings and bodily sensations, build self-awareness, and practice self-soothing and somatic regulation before attending to external dating logistics, so the relationship can move toward safety and genuine connection rather than reactive fixes.
Polyamory and Cohabiting with Laura Boyle
Q: What are some of the big challenges that show up for people who are in transitional moments?
The same problems monogamous folks have, but larger due to multiple people; money management is a significant issue.
Is this okay?
Q: Can you only date people who are already polyamorous?
It's valid to voice discomfort with a partner dating monogamous people, advocating for mutual agreements that respect both partners' needs.
Is this okay?
Q: What do you want our listeners to know?
Mia shared their holistic journey learning about consent connected with their health issues and emphasized the importance of listening to one's own boundaries and cues.
