Jamie’s story is beyond powerful. They are incredibly vulnerable with us about the adversity they have overcome and continue to work through around transitioning, being autistic, surviving a stroke, poverty, and being in a relationship they don’t really have words to describe. While powerful and moving, Jamie also brings levity and humor to their story which is amazing. This isn’t one to skip… We hope you enjoy it.    Check out the full show notes here.

Phillip grew up in an extremely conservative household which influenced much of how he approached love, sexuality, relationships, and life. Since coming out in high school he has been pushing back and finding what works for him and the life he wants to live. Two years ago his boyfriend presented him with the idea/ultimatum of polyamory, something Phillip had no interest in. Rather than give up on the relationship he dove in and did a ton of research and work on himself to understand how it works and how he could approach it with his boyfriend. Today, Phillip is no longer with his boyfriend but he's continued to practice solo polyamory and is even about to launch a new podcast called Dear Poly! This is a super powerful discussion on so many levels and we hope you enjoy it.   Check out the full show notes here. Click here to join our June 23 Virtual Meet and Greet!
