Podcast Season 5 Episode 2: Polyamory Advice is Relationship Advice

Writer's picture: Laura BoyleLaura Boyle

"I'm relationship style agnostic - I don't think there's one right way to do relationships, but gosh are there a lot of really crappy ways to do relationships."


On today's episode, Laura and Dr. Joli Hamilton, a certified sex educator and jealousy researcher whose writing focuses on couples for whom non-monogamy works for some phases of their lives but not all phases, discuss what lessons non-monogamy can teach people who decide to intentionally pursue monogamy instead. This is the episode you can share with your sister, cousin, or monogamous friend who wants to "get it" but isn't sure they do - it's about how the personal growth and lessons of being non-monogamous (forever or temporarily) can improve our interpersonal connections with friends as well as a partner.





They chat about communication, gender roles and scheduling, discovering how many cultural scripts you've bought into, trauma and co-regulation, and the joys and challenges of building poorly defined and unlabeled relationships with non-romantic partners.


Find Dr. Joli Hamilton at @drjoli_hamilton on Instagram or www.listentojoli.com, or read more about her on the guest page on the podcast's website.


Coming up later in April, join Laura for a class on Polyamory and Parenting running live on April 23 at 3 pm Eastern, or with a second live q&a on April 30 at 11:30 pm Eastern following a week of the class recording being available to purchasers; tickets are available at https://ko-fi.com/readyforpolyamory/shop.

Polyamory and relationship advice often overlap, as the fundamentals of communication and boundaries are key in any relationship. This podcast episode touches on the importance of understanding different relationship dynamics and the challenges that come with them. I guess platforms like afroromance offer a way to connect with others interested in non-traditional relationships. It's interesting to see how polyamory advice can be applied to all kinds of partnerships, not just polyamorous ones. Healthy relationships, no matter the structure, always require mutual respect and understanding.
