Reframing Jealousy as a Powerful Tool in Open Relationships with Dr. Emma Smith
Description
Navigating non-monogamy can stir up some BIG emotions—especially jealousy. But what if jealousy wasn’t something to fight against... but a tool for deeper connection?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Emma Smith, licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist, to talk about:
✨ How to create emotional safety plans when opening a relationship
✨ The difference between healthy boundaries and rigid rules
✨ Why jealousy isn’t the enemy—and how it can guide your growth
✨ Tips for crafting relationship agreements that actually work for you
"Boundaries are about care, they're about safety. They are about being grounded in your love and respect for another person." — Dr. Emma Smith
If you're exploring non-monogamy (or just want stronger, healthier connections), this conversation is packed with real talk and practical strategies you’ll want to come back to.
