Can Psychedelics Make You Better at Non-Monogamy? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can psychedelics actually make you better at non-monogamy? Jealousy. Fear. Defensiveness. Insecurity. The urge to control what your partner does so you don’t have to feel something uncomfortable. These are some of the hardest parts of opening a relationship, and in this episode, Scott sits down with Dr. Chandra Khalifian and Dr. Kayla Knopp, co-founders of Enamory, to explore whether psychedelic-assisted therapy can help us respond to those challenges differently. Chandra and Kayla work at the i
Special Episode: Men Need Male Relationships (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when a bunch of men who aren’t particularly interested in going to a men’s retreat actually spend a weekend together? Apparently, something none of us expected. When Mancation Mountain was created, the plan was pretty simple: get a group of guys together in an incredible Smoky Mountain mansion, eat great food, play poker and pickleball, drink, laugh, hang out, and squeeze in about 90 minutes a day talking about relationships.

Jealousy in Non-Monogamy: Invisible Contracts & Unspoken Expectations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when you really click with another person or couple, maybe even have great sex, and then find yourself hurt or jealous when they connect with someone else? In Episode 83, April and Scott talk about the invisible agreements we sometimes create in non-monogamy without ever discussing them. Maybe you’ve played together before and assumed it would happen again. Maybe you went to an event together expecting to spend the night together. Maybe you felt close to someone and were surprised b
Menopause Unfiltered: Pelvic Health, Better Sex & the Power of Women’s Community (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than your cycle—they can reshape your sleep, strength, confidence, sexuality, and relationships. In this candid episode, April and co-host Catherine of Expansive Connection explore how women can move through this transition feeling informed, empowered, and fully connected to their bodies. Pelvic-floor specialist Cara explains why common symptoms shouldn’t simply be dismissed as “normal,” how breathing and mobility support pelvic health, and why the
