It's time for another episode of The Convo - and this month we have Felicia Castillo Powers of Sunday Assembly Nashvile! Felicia was so kind to sit down with us to discuss her work with Sunday Assembly (both in Nashville and nationwide). We discuss Felicia's personal non-monogamy journey, the purpose of Sunday Assembly and how it came to be, and how community can make a real difference in people's lives, no matter why they get together.

We're talking metas this month with our panelists, which include Nick and Millie from the wildly-popular content creators of Decolonizing Love! We were so thrilled to have each of them give us their takes on your questions about how to deal with metas that don't want to meet you, metas you can't stand and don't know how to interact with, whether someone is being coercive or manipulative about having you begin a friendship with a common partner, and a whole bunch more meta talk (incluidng a couple of minutes of meta talk about talking  about metas.)

(Can we say "meta" more? Probably not.)

If you found us from following Decolonizing Love, thanks for checking us out! We update every two weeks and alternate between episodes of The Panel and our sister show, The Convo, where we do short interviews with people from all walks of life that are connected to the non-monogamy world. If you have some questions you'd like answered on a future episode of The Panel, please head over to our annoymous form on our website (www.mixnash.co/ask) and send them in ! :D Your questions literally are what makes our show happen,  and we appreciate every single one you send in! (And if you really want to be our best friend, leave us a review wherever you're listening to this? We'd be ever so appreciative.)

This month, we’re speaking to Marla Renee Stewart and tia marie, co-founders of Sex Down South, a “sexual health and wellness conference created for BIPOC and LGBTQIA people” founded in 2015. Since their inception, Sex Down South has become an “influential platform that has brought together thousands of attendees from the U.S. and beyond to explore sexuality as a tool for self-liberation.” tia and Marla are fantastic guests, and we have some great discussions about why they thought starting a convention (with all its work) was a good idea, how they keep going when the going gets tough, and how their desire to attend a convention where more people like them were given the mic lead to their strong diversity and inclusion of as many different communities as possible at their con.

It's time for part two of our Consent & Non-Monoagmy, with more of our panelists Diana, Araña/Jes, Russ & D! This round of questions invovles how consesual non-consent play works, how to handle negotiating with a 3rd party about play you want to do with someone (likely in a D/s dynamic), consent you receive from anchor partners, as well as some great other questions we hope you find informative and enjoy!

As we mentioned at the top of the show, we're going to be taking a break from recording The Panel in front of a live audience - mostly so we can get you better recording quality in our podcasts, in addition to hopefully adding a video stream in the near future!

This episode turned out excellent, even if we do say so ourselves - great topics, great questions, and a great group of panelists - so great, we had to break the episode into two parts! In Part One, we'll be introducing our Panelists, talking about how to ask for consent in a sexy and fun way (and consent is sexy, in case you didn't know), how to balance autonomy with the needs of a partner, as well as how to recover from having a (minor) boundary breach and how intoxicants affect consent in play spaces. Our panelists Diana, Araña/Jes, Russ & D have some real insights from their personal experiences on all these topics - and, as we mentioned, you'll have to tune in next month for Part 2 where we'll discuss even more fantastic questions y'all sent to us!

We mention it at the top of the show, but stay tuned: we're going to be making some pretty significant changes to how we record the podcast in 2025, and we realy appreciate every one of you for being a listener and sending us your questions. And, just a reminder, if you have some questions you'd like answered on a future show, you can ask them (as well as anything else on your mind) using our anonymous online form (www.mixnash.co/ask)! :D And please - if you like the podcast, leave us a review and rating wherever you're listening - it really helps us reach others and grow! :D Be kind, and stay open!

This month, we’re speaking to Roy Graff of Open Relating. Roy is both a peer support coach and a licensed therapist in the UK, where they reside and practice. In addition to providing clinical therapy services, Roy creates content on Instagram and Threads discussing the challenges non-monogamists face, and providing practical solutions and tips for nagvating those challenges. We ask Roy about a interesting type of workshop he offers on "play fighting", how he got into the field of therapy and coaching work, as well as what brought him to our community.

Roy references some non-white creators both on Insta and in the ENM space who he thinks everyone should be following, but wanted to provide a list for the notes - and here is that list!

We discuss a lot of stuff this episode - why we're all non-monogamous, why we should maybe use ethical non-monogamous instead of non-monogamous when we talk about our community, how quickly you introduce new potential partners to established partners, and a few other things along the way from our audience-submitted question pool!

This month's guest is Olivia Hill, a trans woman and activist who also became the first trans person to be elected to public office in the State of Tennessee, which she accomplished with her election as an At-Large Councilperson for Metro Nashville in 2023. Olivia and I had a really great and inspiring conversation about her experiences both as a trans woman and running for office in a very "red" state, as well as about how running for office as your authentic self can do good for the world, regardless of whether you win or lose.

This month we dive into the nuts and bolts of cohabitating with your non-monogamous partners with Laura Boyle! Laura is an author and the wonderful mind behind the blog, Instagram account, TikTok channel and other platforms of “Ready For Polyamory”, and has published her newest book, “Monogamy? In This Economy?” (out now – order here! ) She just so happened to be in town when we were recording, so we took advantage of the kismet of her being in town to have her on as our special guest expert this month! Along with Diana, Gaines, Roxi and Harvey, we tackled all sorts of fun topics about the positives (and negatives) of living in a multi-partner household!

This month’s guest is Brett Chamberlin, the founder and current executive director of the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non Monogamy, or OPEN. (Open-Love.org) OPEN states in their mission as being dedicated "to normalizing and empowering non-monogamous individuals, relationships, and communities. More than that, we’re a movement of people working toward a future where romantic and intimate relationships between consenting adults are accepted and protected regardless of relationship structure, gender identity, or sexual orientation."

This is a bonus-length episode! OPEN is doing some amazing work on behalf of our community at large, and our conversation touches topics like how OPEN is creating change in cities around the United States, increasing the visibility of all cultures and ethnicities in non-monogamy, non-monogamy's portrayal in popular culture, and how we in the community can work to secure rights and protections for all of us now and in the future.

This month is all about how people parent while being non-monogamous - instead of having a guest expert, all of the panelists (other than childless-by-choice Harvey) are parents who are actively in the middle of raising children while also being in our community. They answer some pretty great questions - from how you handle discipline with multiple partners, to comeing out to your kids and extended family, these panelists aren't holding back as they share their experiences and (hopefully) help you feel better about some of your own struggles and concerns. We have eight people on the mics this time, so lots of perspectives - hope you enjoy!

Our next recording is our next episode of The Blender - come out to The Mark on October 21st, 2024 and experience the show live! The Blender is a more "in the moment" type of community roundtable where every question we answer is asked by someone attending the recording that evening - so if you have something on your mind you need help with, come out and ask us!

This month's guest is Evita "LaVitaLoca" Sawyers, author of "A Polyamory Devotional: 365 Daily Reflections for the Consensually Nonmonogamous" (available here on Amazon) and a content creator active on Instagram (@lavitaloca34) and TikTok (@lavitalocasawyers). Evita and I had a great and wide ranging conversation about how not everyone has a great experience at the start of their journey to non-monogamy (and why that can be a good thing), why comparison doesn't always have to be the thief of joy, as well as how the non-monogamy community can make itself more welcoming to people of minority cultures and backgrounds.

MashUp is a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit headquartered in the Nashville Metro area that focuses on providing queer folx of color a comprehensive, person-centered approach to health and well-being. Jerry was so kind to find time to talk to us about MashUp, his own personal non-monogamy journey, the similarities between the LGBTQI+ and non-monogamy communities, and how we all of us can increase the visibility of interesectional cultures within the larger marginalized cultures around us.

This was a great episode, even if we do say so ourselves.

This month's guest is Tom Brand, who creates content under the name Discovery Polyamory on Instagram (@discoveryingpolyamory) and their website (https://www.discoveringpolyamory.com). The content of Discoverying Polyamory, as the name might suggest, focuses on the crucial time period we all go through when we're just starting to explore whether non-mongamy is the right choice for someone. We discuss the concept of green flags, why lying to your date about being polyamorous (or, some would argue, just not being fully transparent about your non-monogamy) is a bad idea, and why having good information available and easy to find out there is good for our community as a whole.

This month's Panel focuses on those of us - a lot of us - who maybe don't see the world exactly the same as the "average" person does (whatever that means). The umbrealla of "neurodivergence" is quite large and encompasses many different types of neurological variances, and with the help of our guest expert Mal (a licensed behavioral analyst with 20 years experience helping the neurodivergent population) and our other panelists Diana, Vex and Jes/Arana, we take on listener questions like how neurodivergence helps (and sometimes hinders) non-monogamy, what rejection sensitivity is and how it might manifest in others, and how to approach the topic of neurodivergence with a partner who may or may not be neurodivergent themselves (and might not even be aware of it). We really had a great time recording this episode, and we hope y'all find it as helpful and educational as we did making it, no matter if you're someone who marchest to their own drummer, or just someone who loves someone who does everything their own way.

Hello and welcome back to The Convo - this month, we're talking to Rob, one of the owners of Red Room, a swing club located in the Metro Nashville area. Rob was a great conversational partner - we cover a lot of topics about swing clubs that we think people who are "on the fence" about making their first trip out will enjoy, from what to expect your first time out, who exactly goes to swing clubs, what to do if you run into someone you know from your "vanilla" connections (e.g. work, social groups, etc.), and the benefits of going to a swing club with your significant other - even if all you do is watch from the sidelines. We really appreciate Rob taking the time to talk to us, and if you're considering taking the dive and going out to your local swing club, we hope this helps calm your nerves enough to make the leap and see what its all about!

It's a banner episode of The Panel this month; why, might you ask? We have not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR experts on this episode - and all of them have some keen insights and experiences with sex toys. And we're not talking just vibrators - from Jack, our resident deep-BDSM sub, to Tiff, our former sex-toy saleswoman, to Mark, an OT who also builds sex furniture, to Kenton, the owner and "fucksmith" of Funkit Toys, we have tons and tons of information about how sex toys can enhance and entertain. We talk about favorite group sex toys, what the experts use to clean their toys, the best brand of pervertable shock collars to buy on Amazon, and a whole lot of other fun information in between.

Welcome to another episode of The Convo! This month, our guests are Doug & Telisha Williams of the band Wild Ponies. Doug & Telisha, who are based in Nashville, were so gracious to talk to us about their lives as musicians and as members of the non-monogamy community. Their most recent album, Dreamers, focuses on exploring what exists beyond the traditional nuclear family, and details the joys and heartbreaks they’ve experienced as part of a queer, polyamorous family undergoing fertility treatments and becoming foster parents in the state of Tennessee. I had an absolute blast talking to them both about things like how being non-monogamous has affected their careers, what inspired the lyrics for the album's title track, and a few other fun topics that we hope you enjoy.

This month's Panel is all about everything to do with being long-distance while also being non-monogamous. Our guest expert, CJ, is a certified life and sex coach who helps her clients realize their desires and the lives they've always wanted but never could actualize. CJ, in addition to her practice, also has some great personal experience with being in a long-term, very long distance relationship for many years, and her insights are fantastic into the questions we answered. Accompanied by our other panelists Diana, D and Roxi, our panelists take on questions about how to equitabily divide the costs of travel, how to be a gracious meta while your partner's long-distance partner is in town, and how to know if its time to bring that long-distance partner a little closer to you (or to move a little closer to them!)

We really appreciate every listener who tunes in - and especially those of you who send us questions like the excellent ones we had from our audience on this month's episode.

This month, we’re speaking to Cooper S. Beckett. Cooper is a long-time influencer and thought leader in the non-monogamy and swing spaces of the internet, and has released seven books so far in his writing career - three in the world of non-monogamy and swing (his memoir, Life On the Swingset, as well as two fictional works, A Life Less Monogamous and Approaching the Swingularity), and four in the genre of horror (the Spectral Inspetor series). Cooper and Harvey have a wide ranging conversation about the state of community in non-monogamy at large (where Cooper asks you to read and review Harvey's book - Campfire: Creating Ethically Non-Monogamous Communities to Change the World), as well as the evolution of non-monogamy that's occurred during the time that Harvey and Cooper have been around (because, you know, they're old dudes in their 40s, so what else do they do when put in front of mics? ;) )

Hello, hello, hello from the new recording studios for MIX Nashville! As we said in our last release, we're going to be recording The Panel from a set location moving forward; not only does it save us on having to move our equipment to record in a location where people can attend, but it should allow us to have on more guests like the one we have this month, Sonia Lehner! Sonia is the founder of The Obsidian Advocacy Project, which does work focusing on  bridging the gap between healthcare providers and those of us in alternative lifestyles. Our Panelists Sara, Sam and Harvey talk to Sonia about topics such as how to find healthcare providers who are accepting of those practicing non-monogamous lifestyles and what you can do if you feel you've been discriminated against because of your partners. Add a dash of irreverence and storytelling, and you've got what we think is a really informative and interesting episode of The Panel!
