Is Polyamory Right for You? Let's Talk About It! with Joyelle Nicole Johnson & Melissa Fulgieri| Ask a Matchmaker Podcast with Matchmaker Maria

How do you open the conversation about polyamory with your partner, without blowing things up? On this week's episode of Ask a Matchmaker, Matchmaker Maria is joined by co-host Joyelle Nicole Johnson and NYC-based relationship therapist and professor Melissa Fulgieri to explore the nuances of ethical non-monogamy. From setting ground rules to navigating emotional triggers, Melissa shares expert insights on how to communicate openly, define boundaries, and check in regularly in polyamorous relationships. The trio also dives into how attachment styles can impact relationship dynamics and how to approach these conversations with empathy and honesty, especially early on. Whether you're curious about polyamory or just want to strengthen your communication, this episode is a must-listen.
