I’m new to polyamory and recently came out to my husband of 20 years about this after having an affair. It has not been my first affair to be transparent. It has been a struggle but we are managing to communicate our feelings with each other peacefully for the first time in all these years. He doesn’t feel the same as I do, but is trying to understand. Amicable divorce and coparenting is an option on the table. But he is open to learning and I’m hoping he will change his mind over time. Your podcast was recommended in a Facebook forum I’m in, and I couldn’t be more grateful that I’ve found it. So far, it has really helped me understand the different dynamics that can happen in polyamory. Also in figuring out why polyamory resonates with me and being able to effectively articulate that with my husband. As someone raised in a religious conservative family, my feelings, thoughts, and ideas would not be received well and I learned growing up not to talk about things that went against this narrative. I’m an artist and have always had friends in the LGBTQ+ community, and while I’ve always been an out of the box type of thinker, I never really understood the trials and struggles related to them “coming out” to family and friends as I am not queer. I have a much better understanding of that now…and greater empathy. What I really appreciate about your podcast is the kindness and love you demonstrate when addressing difficult topics such as using polyamory to fix a relationship, and trying to push something too fast, as I have really been ready to jump right in, while my husband is trying to heal and mourn the loss of something he thought he had. I have gained a lot of insight into my own motives and what I feel would really be authentic for me in my life, being carefully honest and forthright, while being there for my partner, listening to him, and leaning into each other. The way you address topics in such a way shows me that you really care about your audience and want to see the transitions and choices they make go as smoothly as possible. It answers a lot of questions I’ve had on polyamory and has me thinking a lot about what that might look like for my family, how it could affect the things that I do hold dear and important in my life. I still have not figured all this out, and have a tendency to idealize relationships, but through these messages I have been able to kinda step back and realize that it is all fluid and not to try to force something that needs to work out organically, but to also be proactive in areas that do need attention, including reconciliation, healing, and communicating my needs and distinguishing them from my wants, and being my authentic self, loving and forgiving myself for knowing now what I didn’t know then. Can’t really thank you enough for what you do! Just listening everyday to learn more, and open myself up to possibilities, whether good or bad, and preparing myself for both.

We have been in the lifestyle for a couple of years, but recently stumbled in to something that may be more. I was feeling confused and a bit lost and decided to look for something to help me navigate how I’ve been feeling. This podcast has been immensely helpful both in the strategies and hearing the experiences of others which has made me feel less alone in the journey. I can’t say thank you enough.

This podcast is relevant for anyone wanting to improve at doing relationships: to get better at readiness, at dating, and at maintaining and growing lifelong connections. Very little in here is specific to polyamory, and that makes it perfect for anyone looking to improve their interpersonal skills in any kind of family. The creator’s voice (literal and figurative) and the thoughtful organization and careful phrasing package the subject matter in a palatable and digestible format. It’s definitely worth a listen. I’m hooked.

I'm new to polyamory, and my partner and I have been sharing episodes of this fantastic show, and it has been so helpful in navigating our journey. Libby is so knowledgeable, articulate, warm and supportive, and the show is the perfect length to stop and absorb and inspire some thought-provoking conversations.

FINALLY this addresses the feelings and emotions around navigating open relationships or the changes in relationships around emerging levels of intimacy in couples and more

I stumbled across this podcast and it’s been such a wonderful gem. Libby is so thoughtful and caring in how she works through the problems and challenges (and joys!) of relationships. The open and honest (yet gentle) way she provides insight is so refreshing. I’ve learned so much about myself and my relationships and have found the tools and techniques that Libby provides to be very useful. I absolutely recommend this if you want to learn more about what makes relationships work well.

Libby is insightful and intentional with her episodes, speaking with such heart-centered thoughtfulness. I have listened to her episode “For Your Mom” five times, and cried every time. This episode helped me come out to my family with as much grace as possible. Thank you, Libby!

…but it is really a focus on actionable ways to be present in our nontraditional relationships. We loved the podcast, Libby‘s perspective and expertise so much that we signed up for her private coaching. Our lives have been completely changed by the work that we are doing with her and will forever be grateful for having the algorithm and search word gods help us find this podcast! We listen in the car most often and have not yet once found an episode that did not start a meaningful conversation that has led us to better understanding and deeper connection.

Great podcast with lots of in depth details about non monogamous relationships!

I love the way Libby approaches and explains things. She goes into detail and explains how to approach a problem instead of giving black and white rules. Much of what the advice applicable to healthy monogamous relationships too not just polyamory.

One of the best Poly podcasts out there. I was hooked after the first episode.

I can’t review every episode, I haven’t heard them all, but I really like the emphasis on truth, compassion and transparency

As someone who has consumed A LOT of polyamorous content, I really appreciate this podcast because it goes beyond all the intro poly topics that have been talked about to death & really digs into the complexities of relationships & how to make them work. It’s always practical & straightforward, with great examples. I think people of any relationship style, intimate or otherwise, monogamous or otherwise, will find it useful. Also, as a Black, queer person, this podcast does not necessarily cater to me, but I also don’t feel excluded or alienated or othered by the content. I think it tries to acknowledge & address power dynamics and the isms, without being overbearing.

Absolutely love this podcast!

Usually podcasts help me in general over a period of time. Every episode so far in this podcast has had a direct application somewhere on my life. Not only in my poly world either. A lot of the advice translates to all my relationships.

This podcast is a gem. The insight is nuanced, to the point, and compassionately delivered. I am grateful for this show, and everything I have learned about myself and relationships by listening to it.

The timing couldn’t have been better for finding this podcast. Past trauma can make nonmonogamy really difficult at times, and I feel really validated when I listen. I’ve been able to use some the skills and I’m already feeling differences. I feel much more settled and regulated and I’ve only gotten through about half a dozen episodes. Thank you ❤️

I am fairly new to healthy polyamorous relationships. I am so glad that I was introduced to Libby Sinback's work. I have learned a lot from Libby's podcast, not only about building and maintaining healthy romantic/sexual relationships, but even my platonic ones. I have even learned from great useful trips on dealing with my trauma and maintaining my parasympathetic nervous system when I'm under stress instead of fawning or trying to fix everything. I'm not much of a podcast person and I have made sure to never miss an episode of this one. I think that it helps me be a better boyfriend,stepparent,friend and person. This one is worth a subscription.

There are far too many polyamory podcasts now, and they are by and large complete self-absorbed rubbish. Libby Sinback’s Making Polyamory Work is brilliant and one of only two or three polyamory podcasts worth listening to. Almost very other podcaster could learn from Libby’s humility and wisdom. I adore this podcast. It has helped me navigate so many things that have come up in many relationships. Libby is so smart and compassionate. I always find something useful in every episode.

I didn’t know how many topics I would need to engage with once I realized that I loved and wanted to share my life openly and honestly with two partners. I also didn’t even think about the nuances of if a partner came partnered and the delicacy of doing your best to make it work. This podcast has educated me, affirmed me, loved me and allowed me a safe space to navigate a plethora of feelings and emotions. Even as a black, masculine of center, queer woman, I was able to connect and really hear the message. I will continue to share it out with those I come across as a “so you’re ready to navigate ploy” resource. I’m so grateful for this project.

I came to this podcast wanting to hear from others in the poly life as my husband and I are new to it. This podcast offers so much other poly podcasts don’t. Libby teachers how to be better yourself as well and how to have nourishing relationships. Also I love that it’s relationship based and not sex based like many of the other poly podcasts I have came across!

This podcast addresses communication, boundaries, and self-care in a really easy, informal way!!! Great resource!!!!

As my wife and I are new to polyamory, we were looking for ways to get get helpful info to help on our journey. This podcast has been a truly inspiring and helpful source. Thanks Liby!

Libby gives solid, practical, clear and very thoughtful advice on polyamory and relationship practices in general. Give a listen!

I am new to this and love how Libby explains all of the challenges that come with this lifestyle. I also like how she references Beene Brown who I am also a fan of when it comes to being open and vulnerable with emotions. These podcasts are informative and I am learning so much.

I am loving this podcast! Third episode on disentanglement got me hooked. It hit home hard. Thank you, Libby, for making this podcast. ❤️

This podcast has taken my polyamorous marriage to the next level. I find myself applying Libby’s sage wisdom in treating all my partners better and loving myself more. She is gifted with the ability to make all poly struggles relatable and she finds the silver lining in challenges to turn them into growth opportunities. Her voice is Also soothing and I can easily listen to this podcast all day , in the car or while doing chores around the house .

I absolutely love Libby. Her coaching style is compassionate, kind and caring. Everything about the podcast meets every need I have when receiving advice and coaching. Libby’s delivery is pleasant from the cadence and tone of voice to her non-judgemental and sincere manner. She is intuitive, intelligent and continues to bring new and up to date information and research to the table. This has been one of my favorite tools for helping me to tap into my true self so that I can bring my best self to the table. Thank you Libby for all that you do.

Love this podcast it’s a great resource and entertaining too!

This is one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to on creating secure relationships and I listen to a lot. Whether you are interested in polyamory or not, everyone would benefit from this sound advice and thoughts. It’s easy to listen to as well

I love Libby’s style as well as the thought she puts into every episode. Right now, I feel like I have a much better shot at making polyamory work because of her.

Libby is clear, calm, and compassionate in how she approaches each topic. She has a friendly style and lovely voice. I think the topics she covers are perfect for any intimate relationship, whether one is poly or monogamous.

I love everything about this podcast. The length, her voice and most of all the applicable and intelligent topics. Keep them coming! Thank you 🙏

You are great! Love what you’re creating here. Thanks

I love this podcast, the information always seems clear and actionable. Every episode has had something really useful in it!
