Summary
This episode was triggering for me and I’m SO glad I had it! Aubrey, NYT best-selling author, is in a very public open-relationship with his fiancé Whitney and is courageous enough to share it with all of us. In this episode we discuss his new book, daily routine what I believe his Dosha is (can you guess) and of course—his open relationship.
I asked him questions that were on my mind, such as “Who’s idea was it? Are your other partners mutual friends? Is it a don’t ask, don’t’ tell policy? What are you going to do when you have kids? What if you both fall in love with someone else?” and he answered from a grounded, mature and wise place. It really opened my mind to see someone so vocal and comfortable about the uncertainty of his relationship and though polyamory is NOT for me, it definitely allowed me to understand the perspective much better.

| 0:00.0 | I'm recording the intro to this episode. |
| 0:26.7 | This episode has definitely been the one that has ruffled my feathers in a good way. |
| 0:33.4 | The most of any of the episodes I've done because it's really caused me to question |
| 0:38.7 | my own life and the way that I've looked at things. |
| 0:41.8 | Not that I'm going to be probably immersed now, guys, but sitting with Aubrey Marcus, talking |
| 0:47.1 | about open relationships as well as his book, which is amazing, was something that definitely |
| 0:52.4 | pressed my buttons. |
| 0:54.3 | So I don't want to get too into it. |
| 0:56.0 | I'll describe more about how I was feeling at the end of the episode because I really |
| 1:00.3 | want to allow him to speak from his perspective without my narrative in your head. |
| 1:05.8 | But just as a precursor, Aubrey Marcus is an author. |
| 1:09.6 | He just wrote this best-selling book, Own Your Day, which we talk about at the beginning |
| 1:13.5 | of this episode. |
| 1:15.0 | And he's also really well known for being in an open relationship with his fiance, Whitney. |
| 1:20.0 | We've been together for five years, which he's going to tell us about in this episode. |
| 1:24.0 | And about three years ago, decided that they want to open it up, which means that they |
| 1:27.4 | want to romantically and sexually see other people. |
| 1:30.3 | And he talks about the hardships and what that meant and where they're at now. |
| 1:35.1 | And of course, with any type of relationship, things are always changing, let alone open |
| 1:39.2 | relationships. |
| 1:40.2 | But shortly after this episode, actually about two days after we did this interview, Aubrey |
| 1:45.4 | got into a really horrible car accident. |
