info_outlineIn this episode you’ll hear me coach Jennifer Kaylo Ruscin, a polyamorous woman with a podcast focused on polyamory, swinging, and all things related. I was scheduled to be a guest on her show, The Jennifer Kaylo Ruscin Podcast, but instead of a typical interview I ended up giving her a coaching session instead!
A week before we spoke, Jennifer faced a major challenge in her relationship. She told her partner that she was interested in dating a couple she knows. Her partner is typically ok with flirting and fun sexy socializing but he did not take well to this idea at all. He immediately rejected it and said he would move out rather than stand by her moving forward with this plan.
Jennifer was faced with three choices: move forward without his permission, leave her partner, or dial down and disconnect from her desires. She chose the third option.
That’s where our conversation begins.
In this unique episode you’ll hear:
- How I coached Jennifer and reframed her views on compromise
- The ways Jennifer communicated her desire for polyamorous experiences to her partner
- My advice to Jennifer to communicate using curiosity and openness
…plus much more.
The way I coach Jennifer will show you how to feel more connection, more emotional intimacy, and more erotic gratification in your relationship, whether you are in a strictly monogamous relationship, or not.
