Today’s episode is one I honestly wasn’t sure would or could ever happen.
If you’ve been around these parts for a while, you will know Rachel Wright not just as the incredible psychotherapist & sex educator, but as one of my dearest friends, collaborators & business partners.
From the moment we met in 2018, we instantly knew we were kindred spirits. Meant to meet. And we spent the next few years being partners in the truest form of the word.
Platonic partners, but partners. We were each others lifeline and person on all things coming out as bi/pan/queer, on all things non monogamy and, truly, just in everything in life.
What you don’t know is that we didn’t talk for almost an entire year.
And today, six months after we began the process of repairing our relationship, we sit down for an extended conversation about what really happened & where we are today — in our relationship, and in our individual selves as queer, non monogamous folks.
Things we talk about in todays episode:
The nitty gritty on the first time we met up after a year long, no contact break
The intense grief that comes with losing a friendship & the fear/anxiety around attempting to rekindle it
Codependency in platonic relationships
Where we are now in our relationship with each other
How Rach’s relationship with her three primary partners came to be
Where we both stand in our queer & non monogamous identities now
Queer crushes, butt plugs, polyamorous breakups, play parties, relationship anarchy & beyond
