It's said that in successful relationships, there's always a KITE and a STRING. Which are you?
You may have heard of this metaphor which is often used to describe dynamics in monogamous couples, however in this episode: Kites & Strings: Relationship Roles and Dynamics in Non-Monogamy, we take a polyamory spin on it and talk about how it may apply to the world of non-monogamous relationships as well!
We explore what it means to be a kite or a string, how these roles may shift when we interact with other kites and strings either in a dating or lifestyle/swinging situation, and the dynamics of pairing with different types of partners.
We also discuss how someone might yearn to step into a different role than they usually occupyâlike someone with kids and family responsibilities who gets to feel the exhilarating freedom of being the kite when with another partner and how they might secretly want their other partner to offer them this opportunity as well!
We give specific examples of how you can be a âswitchâ and bring excitement into your relationships and how this might offset resentments around always having to be one thing!
And it wouldnât be a podcast without some playful fun and teasing about our own tendencies to be the kite and string in our relationship!

While we all know that open and honest communication is the key to relationships success, a recent University of California study found that thereâs plenty of people would rather not know certain details about what their partner is up to!
This is one of the big questions that people often struggle with, and are often at odds with, in non-monogamous relationships.
Some prefer the DADT - donât ask, donât tell - model where everything is unsaid. Itâs a ⊠Iâd rather not know because what I donât know wonât hurt me? However, as we said to a coaching client recently and talk about in this episode, when we avoid hearing from our partners about their experiences completely, our brains âfill in the blanksâ and that story is often much worse than knowing the truth.
There's others that LOVE to share all the details about their encounters with others and those that want to hear everything, but there's the matter of privacy of others to consider.
And some people are ok with some details but want certain things left out.
We cover all these things and more in this exciting episode - How Much Do I Want To Know: From DADT to ALL the Juicy Details!
And if you're newly navigating non-monogamy or facing some bumpy territory, we've got you! Our Poly Newbies Digital Course https://courses.letstalkpolyamory.com/polynewbiesspecialoffer - has a proven system that will provide you with a foundation for success!

Personal boundaries⊠theyâre the imaginary lines we can draw around ourselves to maintain balance and protect our bodies, minds, emotions, and time for ourselves and from the behaviour or demands of others.
Our boundaries are most effective when we are first clear about them ourselves and then when we communicate them to others.
If you find it hard to share your boundaries, you are not alone.
Even when someone crosses our boundaries (intentionally or unintentionally), common worries are that we are asking for too much, being too difficult or if we say something, they might not like us.
In this episode youâll learn:
â What personal boundaries are vs. agreements or rules we might have with our partner(s);
â Why boundaries are important (hint: itâs about you)
â How to set your boundaries;
â How to communicate them; and
â Why people want to know your boundaries
Download our Building and Communicating My Personal Boundaries FREE WORKSHEET which will guide you in setting your boundaries and having them stick!
If you'd like it to feel EASIER to communicate your boundaries and feel SECURE in your open or polyamorous relationship, we can help! Book a complimentary call where we can speak confidentially about your personal circumstances and how we can work together OR jump right into our Poly Newbies Digital Course or Open Relationship and Polyamory Mastery coaching program which have proven systems that will provide you with a foundation for success!

Youâve probably seen the various ârulesâ out there that attempt to cleverly use numbers to describe what you should or shouldnât do in a relationship or when dating.
Having rules and guidelines to follow to lead you to a desired outcome can be helpful and even comforting.
Like the 2-2-2 one that suggests that couples should go on a date once every two weeks, spend a weekend away every two months and take a week-long vacation every two years.
Others are just plain awful.
There's the 6-6-6-6 rule that women with "high standards" should only look for men who are 6 feet tall, with a 6 inch đ, six figure salary and a six-pack!
In this episode we take an informative and humorous look at these relationship rules, debunk the myths and as always provide expert solid advice on what things you might want to consider to have secure, successful and sexy polyamorous relationships!
There's even some food talk in there to keep you entertained with references to yams, sausages and oysters!
We would love to hear your take on these numerical rules, what your favorites were and any that we missed (good advice or otherwise). If youâre listening on Spotify you can now add comments to each episode!
We want to continue to keep this podcast free and reach as many people as possible so it would help us a lot of you hit the like button, subscribe, share with your friends and write a review!

Have you heard the term ACCIDENTAL POLYAMORY?
This is what some call those unexpected journeys that lead individuals and couples into exploring polyamory dynamics either as a willing participant or with some fear or resistance.
In this episode, Accidental Polyamory: Now What? we cover 3 different unexpected scenarios one can find themselves in.
Imagine you're in a monogamous relationship, and suddenly, one partner expresses a desire to explore consensual non-monogamy or open the relationship. How do you navigate those conversations and potential changes?
Or, picture this: you're single and enjoying the dating scene when you meet someone amazing, only to find out they are polyamorous. How do you handle being with someone with multiple partners, and determine if this is a relationship style that suits you?
Maybe youâre already non-monogamous - like a swinger or in an open relationship - and then you or your partner start developing deeper emotional connections and want to shift to a more polyamorous model. How do you handle this significant change?
We share other definitions and terms you might come across in these situations like cowboy/cowgirl and poly-bombing.
Join us as we share real stories, expert insights, and practical advice for anyone finding themselves unexpectedly on the path to polyamory.
Whether youâre curious about polyamory, already practicing some form of non-monogamy or simply interested in the diverse ways people love and connect, this episode is for you!

At some point in your journey towards non-monogamy someone you know has likely said to you "I could never do that. I'm too jealous!"
Maybe you've even wondered this about yourself or have been afraid that you aren't cut out for non-monogamy given some of the strong feelings you've felt.
While jealousy is one of the main things that people are challenged with when opening a relationship or experiencing polyamory for the first time, and it can be intense and feel all consuming, there are ways of understanding your jealousy and finding of ways to work through these feelings so that you can shift to being neutral or even experiencing compersion! đ Pinky swear!
And... a little myth busting... the reality is that most non-monogamous people experience jealousy or insecurity under certain circumstances from time to time. The key is to learn how to be less impacted by it.
In this episode of the Letâs Talk Polyamory Podcast we dive into this topic and share with you the 6 things you can do starting now to feel more secure in your relationships!

New Relationship Energy, or NRE, sometimes gets a bad rap in polyamory as while one person may be experiencing the highs of being with someone new, others that they are in relationships may feel left behind, or jealous or find it threatening to the security of that connection... hence the "awful"
But itâs not all about putting out forest fires.
Thereâs nothing wrong with new relationship energy in itself, and in fact it can be an "awesome" experience for all involved.
One of the amazing things about polyamory is that it allows people to experience all the magic of new love without destroying long-term, stable relationships in the process - and may even breathe new energy and pleasure into them!
There are always considerations or things to navigate whether youâre the person experiencing the NRE with someone new, the new person or the people they are in relationships with.
We talk about all of these things and more in this podcast episode!
We want to encourage and support spreading the word of polyamory and normalize it as a valid relational identity - one which can be secure and long-lasting!

In this episode of the Let's Talk Polyamory Podcast we are open up our polyamory dictionary and cover a ton of common definitions and terms you may come across as you navigate consensual non-monogamy:
Metamour Kitchen, Parallel and Garden Party Polyamory Solo Polyamory Polycules V (Vee) Relationships and being a Hinge Primary, Satellite and Comet Partners Unicorns, Bulls and Rhinos Unicorn Hunting Coupleâs Privilege Threesomes, Triads and Throuples Relationship Anarchy Jelalousy and CompersionWe cover common myths you might hear (like that you MUST get to know and like your metamours) and how terms and labels such as these are useful to help identify yourself and why you still need to ask someone what their definitions are so you are on the same page in understanding.
And of course it wouldn't be our podcast if we didn't share some of our personal stories including how our relationship fits into multiple "styles" and how being with others who are different than each other doesnât take away from our relationship, but instead is one of the things that enhances our relationship and why polyamory is such a great fit for us!

It's a question we often get asked... Can opening my relationship (or monogamous LTR) save my marriage?
Conventional wisdom, and perhaps even our own advice in the past, would warn against opening up a relationship as a fix or solution.
BUT... the more accurate answer is YES, it could help in some cases.
In this episode we explore the possibility of opening your relationship and the many benefits you can gain such as deeper connection, trust, variety, sexual and emotional stimulation and personal growth to name a few.
All while enjoying the rewards, security and benefits of being married or in a LTR that you desire.
We also share the very unique circumstances and conditions that need to either be in place before you open or that you need to build your âqualificationsâ in such as fantastic communication, understanding your jealousy, secure attachment and more.
If youâd like to open a relationship and are unsure if it will work for you, or if youâve already opened and feel that perhaps you werenât quite ready for it, we can help via individual and couples coaching or one of our programs! Book a confidential call to talk with Tara at https://go.taraandandre.com/relationshiprescue to find out what would be best for you!

đŠUnicorns⊠mythical creatures or real?
In this episode we talk about UNICORNS in the context of consensual non-monogamy and if if UNICORN HUNTING can be done in a way that defies this stereotype so that itâs ethical, consensual and feels good for all parties involved!
The term unicorn-hunting typically describes the practice of an established couple searching for a third person to engage in either threesomes or triads. You may have seen such couples stating they are âlooking for a thirdâ.
Often this is a heterosexual couple looking to add a bisexual woman to their relationship who is equally attracted to both of them and interested in whatever arrangement that couple has in mind.
Where this can end up being a less than favourable arrangement, in particular for the unicorn, and why searching for a third gets a bad rap is because of the unequal power dynamic that can exist in some cases.
Having said this, there are those that LOVE being a unicorn when the conditions are right.
We talk about this and the results of a survey we did of our Letâs Talk Polyamory community members on this controversial topic. We have left this survey open for those who wish to share their views as well - https://forms.gle/4jL3JhYVANRmFo1c9 which we can use for a follow-up episode.

What gets you hot and bothered in the bedroom?
In this episode we are continuing our discussion of the 5 Ways to Reignite the đ„Fire in Long Term Relationships with #4...
Increasing sexual and erotic energy!
So how exactly do you do that?
Maybe itâs being touched somewhere unusual where youâre not normally touched, or that you donât normally think of as an erogenous zone? Like the side of your ankle which AndrĂ© shares a story about.
Or maybe it is something that allows you to prepare and get warmed up for intimacy which Tara shares.

When we are in longer-term relationships we can have so many amazing things - security, safety, familiarity and predictability and a safe haven.
However, these things we love can be the very things that can dampen the mystery, intrigue, excitement and longing that are strong foundations for desire and eroticism.
Hence why it is so important to find ways of keeping the excitement alive in our relationship.
In Part 1 of The 5 Ways to Reignite the Fire in Long-Term Relationships we spoke of the first two things:
â Having some distance and spending time apart
â Being present which includes being physically, emotionally and sexually present with our partners
In this episode we continue with the 3rd thing you can do:
â Interrupting Patterns and Routines

On the one hand, we need security, safety, familiarity and predictability and a safe haven and secure base.
But we also need adventure, unpredictability, mystery and surprise which is what âœïžfuels sexual energy!
