Summary

What happens when you trade “the one” for the many? This week, Reed is joined by sex educator, writer, and all-round babe Alice Lovegood to unpack the messy, magical, and oh-so-human shift from monogamy to polyamory. We’re talking first steps, jealousy wobbles, compersion (yep, that’s a thing), and the realities behind the fantasy of “having it all.” Alice opens up about their own journey - from monogamous beginnings to thriving in poly love - with all the juicy highs and awkward lows along the way. Expect real talk on navigating boundaries, building trust, and finding freedom in choosing a relationship style that actually fits. Whether you’re poly-curious, monogam-ish, or still side-eyeing anyone who has more than one toothbrush in their bathroom, this one’s for you, curious f**kers. Rate & ReviewIf we’ve ever made you laugh, squirm, or rethink your relationship labels — smash that five star, baby.Want more?
