Hi everyone, there are conversations that challenge you loudly and then there are the ones that quietly rearrange how you think.

This episode belongs to the second kind. Sitting down with Ari, what began as a conversation about monogamy slowly unfolded into something much deeper: a reflection on queerness, intimacy, chosen structures, and the invisible rules we’re taught to follow when it comes to love. Not because they fit us, but because they’re familiar.

We talk about monogamy not as a default, but as a choice. About queerness not as a category, but as a lens. About relationships not as something to label, but something to experience honestly. This episode isn’t here to give answers or define what love should look like. It’s here to sit in the questions, the uncomfortable ones, the tender ones, the ones we don’t always say out loud.

If you’ve ever felt like the traditional relationship narrative didn’t quite fit, or if you’ve found yourself curious about what intimacy could look like beyond expectation, this conversation invites you to listen, slowly, openly, and without needing to decide anything at all. Enjoy listening to this episode and stay tuned for a new episode next week!
