Queer & Poly Podcast

Okay, so this is not going to be a step-by-step process on how to find partners...but, we will go over what actually works in connecting with people that are actually aligned for you and what you want! This is based on what we have experienced personally in the poly dating space, as well as what we have seen with the clients we coach.On this episode, we dive into the pitfalls and limiting beliefs that we see come up when people ask, "but, WHERE do I actually find polyamorous people to date??". We scope out a bit more broadly to navigate answering this question, but then hone right back into the important pieces that will actually help you create the dating experience you truly want. P.S.
