What happens when you fall in love with someone else… while you’re married?
In this wildly honest and eye-opening episode, Andrea sits down with returning guest Dr. Joli Hamilton to unpack a real-life story that sounds like a movie… but it’s very real.
From a spontaneous moment on the dance floor…to blowing up her marriage…to living in a triad with her best friend…to eventually marrying the man she fell for…
This conversation goes way beyond curiosity. It’s about truth, communication, jealousy, and what relationships actually require, whether you’re monogamous or not.
⚠️ This is not your typical conversation about polyamory.

This episode isn’t about convincing you to be non-monogamous. It’s about asking better questions:
- What do I actually want in a relationship?
- Am I communicating honestly?
- Am I choosing my partner… or just staying comfortable?
Because whether you’re monogamous or not… the real work is the same.
