Summary

WE MADE IT TO PRIDE MONTH, Y'ALL! For our first episode of the *actual* happiest season (sorry, KStew), we're rejoined by comedian and podcaster extraordinaire, Carolyn Bergier, who was first on the pod all the way back in Pride of 2019! When we last spoke with Carolyn, she was two years into her second marriage, and described herself as a "serial monogamist." Well, suffice to say there's been a big change to the latter half of that sentence, because two years ago, Carolyn and her wife Cecilia opened up their marriage! Carolyn shares how feeling safer and more secure in a relationship than she ever had before had unexpected results, and discusses the challenges and joys of navigating "non-monogamy 101." She also describes the differences between dating women on her own versus dating them with her wife, and we have an incredibly candid conversation about alllllllll the pros and cons of having children. Happy listening, and HAPPY PRIDE!

Follow Carolyn on Instagram (and encourage her on TikTok!) at @tgicarolyn. And if you're in the New York area, lucky you: you can go see Carolyn's live queer dating show "Love's A Pitch" on June 20th at C'mon Everybody in Brooklyn!
