Chloe and Drew were such amazing guests that we decided to have them back a second time! It's not critical that you listen to their first episode (Ep 89) before listening to this one but it will provide some context. Their first episode resulted in a handful of listener emails concerned for Drew's wellbeing in the relationship. In this episode they address those concerns and talk about the incredible amount of growth they have both experienced in the last year. We also have a few laughs and maybe a tear or two... Enjoy!

Her and her partner decided to give it a try as a last ditch effort to save the relationship but it ended up not working out quite like that.

Emily and Matt both thought they were broken and not meant to be loved like everyone else. Then they met and together decided to openly explore their sexualities and non-monogamy and everything changed for them. It has been an amazing journey but definitely not one without some bumps along the way. In fact, they describe their first experience as a "trial by fire" and it is full of learning opportunities for everyone. They are amazing people who have grown so much together and we can't thank them enough for their vulnerability and willingness to share their story.   See photos and more details of all our guests by checking out the Show Notes!

Rachael shares with us a powerful and beautiful story of self-discovery. She married at a young age and realized years later that she had never had the time to find who she was. At age 32 she had zero sex drive but figured that was just normal because she was "getting old..." Then she went to see the movie Wolverine and saw Hugh Jackman with his shirt off and it hit her that she needed to make some changes. Since then, she has separated from her high school sweetheart, learned a ton about herself, gotten involved in various polyamory and kink organizations, and even started her own publication on Medium called Polyamory Today. This interview covers so much ground and is super inspiring.
