My guest Christina Dynamite and I  are chatting about  our intimate journeys through non-monogamy and polyamory as we share personal experiences, challenges, and triumphs in navigating their unconventional relationships. We dive deep into relationships, sexuality, and even STIs, offering practical advice and invaluable resources for listeners. Christina B. Dynamite (she/her) is a vibrant Mental Wellness Coach, Educator, Nurse, and Artist who fiercely believes that being authentically yourself and chasing your passions are non-negotiable needs for a meaningful life. Dynamite is a human perpetually seeking growth and recovery from trauma, ADHD, addiction, and societal programming including white privilege. She is a bisexual polyamorous kinky queer who rides motorcycles, scuba dives, occasionally performs music & cabaret, and also serves on the board of the Oregon Holistic Nurses Association. She is deeply grateful for the encouragement, support, and love from her wife, 5 cats, 3 dogs, many mentors, muses, and friends. 💨 TLDR; Journey to Non-MonogamyBuilding a Non-Monogamous RelationshipIntroducing MetamoursDestigmatizing STIs and Getting the Right TestingDefining Sex and Being SafeRecognizing Your Needs and Patterns Making Time for ConnectionDealing with JealousyMeeting Your Basic NeedsFinding Your CommunityThe Benefits of TherapyThe Importance of Practicing and Using Communication Tools❤️ Enjoying the show?
