Jamie and Christian are a polyamorous couple. Together, they share what polyamory means to them and confront common misconceptions about their relationship. They discuss defining their rules according to what makes them happy as a couple, rather than conforming to cultural norms.  And, they describe ways in which polyamorous relationships require the same core elements of communication, respect, and foundational trust as successful monogamous relationships—perhaps even more so since they involve more than one person.  The story in this episode provides a model for giving yourself permission to define or redefine your family according to your own true north. Listen as Jamie and Christian explain how they navigate jealousy and build trust, practice naming and identifying their emotions, and what they believe are the essential ingredients for creating any lasting relationship.
