Open up Without Blowing Up with Ally Iseman

In this conversation, Susan Taylor and Ally Iseman explore the complexities of open relationships, discussing how they can be viewed as both a lifestyle choice and an orientation. Ally shares her personal journey with compersion, the joy derived from a partner's happiness with others, and how jealousy can be reframed as a tool for growth. They emphasize the importance of communication skills, the distinction between boundaries, rules, and agreements, and how these concepts apply to all types of relationships, not just non-monogamous ones. mismatched desires can be addressed.
