Poly Break-Ups ft. Poly Pages

Today, Cami and Niki welcome, once again, Claire Louise Travers, who runs the podcast, research hubs, and events for Poly Pages - an academic non-monogamous podcast and platform, focused on the texts which have shaped polyamorous community and culture.

 

In the first season, Claire talked about rich and insightful resources about the poly world. Today, we dive into poly breakups. We get to look at how non-monogamous and polyamorous people deal with multiple breakups and failed relationships, what can be learned from them, and why we all need a good set of friends who can view poly breakups as a new beginning. AND, it’s okay to be with yourself from time to time when you need to heal and recuperate, ‘hoe’ phase included of course! Just keep it healthy!
