Poly-Parenting: How Non-traditional Relationship Models Work Around Kids- with Roy Graff

M.I.L.F School with Julia Kotziamani

Nov 23 2021 • 40 mins

When you find yourself a single parent, it can be a really exciting time to forge a new path for you and your family.  Lots of us find ourselves questioning our long-held beliefs about love, sex, and romance, and it can be a great time to make big changes. You may want to explore different types of relationship like polyamory or other forms of non-monogamy/multi-gamy...but how do you start? and will your kids be ok?

I talk to the relationship coach and expert in all things challenging mono-normative mindsets, Roy Graff, on some of the taboos and fears single mums face when they consider opening up to the non-exclusive.
-What is non-monogamy and how can it work?
-What can you expect when you first start challenging your previous value systems?
-How do go about "coming out" to friends, family and co-parents?
-Is it safe and healthy for kids to be around?

This was such a wonderful conversation to have, and I can't thank Roy enough for coming and sharing his wisdom. If you are in a non-monogamous dynamic, are thinking it might be something to explore, or even if you are just curious about how it might work around parenting, this one is for you.
