Summary

In today's episode, I am joined by Morgan—a Queer Polyamory Mentor and the creator of Chillpolyamory. She’s been consensually non-monogamous since 2012, and coaching others on their journeys since 2018. We discuss the western narrative surrounding monogamy, exploring polyamory, the negative connotations of jealousy, how Evan and I’s communication has improved since opening our relationship, cheating in polyamory relationships, hierarchal constructions of monogamous relationships, and more!

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:07.5	Hey, this is Alexis Haines and welcome to Recovering from Reality,
0:11.6	where I illuminate the messy and magical path of coming home to yourself.
0:16.1	Whether you're on the road to recovery, seeking self-care techniques for surviving the
0:20.5	capitalist machine, or just need a moment to remember that you're not alone in your loneliness,
0:26.2	we're serving up the ultimate truth. Your challenges don't define you, how you deal with them does.
0:33.0	So are you ready to recover from reality?
0:39.9	I don't shame serial monogamy either because we're different people at different stages of our life,
0:45.2	but I do push back like you're saying on the being baffled at our ability to love multiple
0:52.2	people in our lifetime. Sometimes that happens one after the other, sometimes they overlap.

1:44.4	fucking clue what I was doing. I know that a lot of you guys are curious too. I thought to myself,
1:53.1	I should just have an expert on to sit down and talk about the different dynamics and what
1:58.8	non-monogamy actually looks like and how it's really in a lot of ways like calling back our own
2:04.5	autonomy and stepping into and figuring out what our desires are and sharing space with beautiful
2:14.0	humans and evolving together and exploring our sexuality further. I know that she's a wealth of
