E.87 - All the Ways Polyamory Changed My Life with James Sias

E.87 - All the Ways Polyamory Changed My Life with James Sias

The topic didn't change, but the guest did! I was expecting to have this conversation with someone else, but I ended up talking about this myself.

I've shared my origin story before, so I spent more time talking about the lessons I've learned over the years. I share my journey of being an obsessive, possessive person in my younger years and how, often to my own detriment, I held too tightly to my relationships and how that affected my early polyam experience.

I talk about my marriage and some of our early struggles, how and why I learned that I do in fact want polyamory to be part of my life, and how polyamory helped me break free of some of my other relationship bad habits (like playing the white knight).

Having multiple people to depend on instead of depending on just one person for everything is another huge lesson that I discuss, especially how much pressure I used to place on relationships by expecting to find "The One" person who could fulfill every role and be my everything.

I share some of my current situation, such as coming to terms with practicing Solo Polyamory, and how that's helped me overcome one of my biggest fears and demons: loneliness.

Hope you all enjoy this little monologue from me! Learn more at www.practicingpolyamory.com and follow me everywhere @practicingpolya!
