In this episode of 'The Only One in the Room,' Laura Cathcart Robbins and Scott Slaughter interview Ally Iseman, a relationship coach specializing in non-monogamy. Ally shares her personal journey from a disastrous attempt to open up a monogamous relationship to becoming a prominent figure in the sex-positive community, hosting educational events, and coaching couples on how to navigate non-monogamy successfully. The conversation explores different forms of non-monogamous relationships, the importance of communication, and the necessity of having a solid foundational relationship before opening up. Ally also highlights the societal stigma around non-monogamy and the risks involved in being public about it. The discussion aims to demystify non-monogamy, offering insights and guidance for those curious about exploring different relationship dynamics.Thanks for supporting today’s show sponsor:Mercedes Cusick Trauma Specialist Course Website: https://recoverhealbloom.com/ - Use promo code ONLYONE (All Caps) to receive 10% offAlly Iseman:Contact:  hello@passport2pleasure.comWebsite: www.passport2pleasure.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@passport2pleasureSubstack: https://allyiseman.substack.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/passport2pleasure, https://www.instagram.com/allyisemanTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@passport2pleasureFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554151163099LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/passport2pleasure, www.linkedin.com/in/allyisemanOnly One In The Room:Email: cathcartrobbins@gmail.comWebsite: http://www.theonlyonepod.com/ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2P3sYOA iTunes: https://apple.co/2UUZ04Y  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOnlyOneintheRoomPodcast Instagram: instagram.com/theonlyoneintheroom  X: https://x.com/TheOnlyOnePodc1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheOnlyOneInTheRoomPodcast/ TikTok: tiktok.com/@theonlyoneintheroomPatreon: patreon.com/theonlyonepodcast Recover Heal Bloom Online CoursesMercedes Cusick, LMFT, is an EMDR Certified and Advanced Trained Trauma Specialist and the creator of Trauma Unlocked: Understanding Your Childhood Trauma and Healing Your Nervous System to Restore Balance. She specializes in helping people recover from trauma, including childhood trauma, addiction, sexual trauma, narcissistic abuse, and more.Course Website: www.recoverhealbloom.comUse promo code: ONLYONE (all caps) to receive 10% off Trauma UnlockedTherapy Website: www.mercedescusick.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/recoverhealbloomTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@recoverhealbloomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/recoverhealbloomYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@recoverhealbloomLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/recoverhealbloomLearn more about your ad choices.
