Our relationships are just a unique as we are. We're joined by best-selling author, Relationship Diversity advocate and host of the Relationship Diversity Podcast, Carrie Jeroslow, to discuss how to design our relationships to reflect who we are.

We talk about how to bring intentionality into intimate relationships by shedding the programming of what relationships 'should' look like and asking ourselves what we want. Carrie opens up about her journey in and out of non-monogamy and how she opened her marriage after years of monogamy.

Carrie tells us about the need to understand ourselves before we design our relationships, how to check-in with ourselves and our partners and how to discuss relationship orientation with kids.

First, Siobhan updates Rich on the Australia Census story (and it's a good update, yay) and Rich shares a recent article about kids growing up with polyamorous parents (also a positive story, double yay!)

You can find Carrie and all her offerings, including her podcast, at her website. She's the best-selling author of Why Do They Always Break Up With Me? You can also find Carrie on Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube.

You can hear us on the Relationship Diversity Podcast, too.
