In this episode, we're joined by Jon Simons, a certified life coach who works with people within the gender, sexual, and romantic minority communities. Their dad also came out as poly when they were 11-years-old.
Jon shares their personal experiences of growing up with a poly parent, what it was like knowing non-monogamy was an option at such a young age and how this impacted their understanding of their own sexuality and orientation. We also discuss BDSM relationships and the limitations of seeing the end of a relationship as a 'failure'. To round out, we play Poly Quest with Jon.
But first up, Rich and Siobhan discuss some exciting poly news out of California.
A massive thanks to Jon for coming on the show. You can find them and their offerings at their website.
