Long before Dr. Joy became a groundbreaking relationship expert, she gleaned harmful messages about sëxuality. Her journey into ethical non-monogamy and polyamory shed light on important truths, while invited lesson-rich challenges and benefits she continues to cherish.

 

Today Joy helps others cultivate authentic, pleasure-rich lives and relationships, no matter the style. And her work continues to reveal myths so many of us learn about intimacy, ways they damage (supposedly) ethical non-monogamous relationships, and the wonderfulness that can unfold when we unlearn them. 

 

In addition to Joy’s personal journey into non-traditional partnerships, you’ll learn:

 

Myths about ENM, involving cheating and jealousy

How new relationship energy (NRE) can play out for poly folks

A practice she recommends for determining your own best relationships style
