117: Part 1/8: Janelle's Evolution from Catholic Monogamy to Solo Poly, D/s and Unicorn: How To Design a Relationship That Works Series

Holy shit, are you ready to have your relationship rulebook completely obliterated? In this season six premiere, Janelle pulls back the curtain on her unconventional love life that includes being solo poly, in a DOM/sub container, a unicorn, AND a comet relationship. From scheduled sex to sleeping solo to discovering she's actually happiest as the "second woman," Janelle's journey from Catholic-raised monogamy to radical self-permission is proof that designing your own relationship format isn't just possible—it's fucking liberating. This isn't about advocating for any particular setup; it's about giving yourself permission to unlearn everything you were taught and discover where you actually thrive. Spoiler alert: it might look nothing like what you imagined, and that's exactly the point. For more relationship format ideas, Janelle recommends Designer Relationships, by Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson. You'll hear:

-What enmeshment means and why it pertains to solo poly

-Unicorns are real… Janelle is a living example

-Scheduled sex > spontaneous sex

-How off-duty nights could save marriages

-When jealousy was Janelle's gateway drug to truth
