Are open relationships really about avoiding commitment, or is there more to the story? In today’s episode, Michael is joined by Dr. Israel Martinez to unpack the common misconceptions around consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and explore how commitment and connection can flourish in open relationships.

We’ll be discussing:

  • Common misconceptions about CNM and monogamy
  • How to determine your ideal relationship style
  • What is a relationship anchor and how to find it
  • The role of trust, communication, and emotional intimacy in CNM
  • Social conditioning around monogamy as the only valid type of relationship

Dr. Martinez also offers self-reflection questions and takes Michael through an exercise to determine his own relationship style and anchor, giving you a practical tool to use in your own exploration.

Whether you’re curious about exploring CNM or already practicing it, this episode will give you the tools and insights to foster strong, lasting connections outside of monogamy.
