Episode Synopsis

Lauren Hayes (she/her) is a relationship coach in Salt Lake City, Utah, specializing in supporting ethically non-monogomous couples, including swingers, and the ENM-curious. Lauren shares about her own experience, opening her marriage six years ago, and how this inspired her to begin helping others wanting to do the same. 

Lauren and I discussed the things we need to have healthy, successful relationships - trust, commitment, and open communication, and reflected on how those are actually quite similar across both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships. Lauren helps us to understand where some of the stigma towards ethical non-monogamy may come from and as always, we discover that the way to avoid letting bias and judgement guide us, is to stay curious. 

Lauren’s book, For Better or Worse: 7 Essential Life & Love Lessons from a Non-Monogamist is available for purchase! Find out more about her coaching, resources, and upcoming book at the website below.
