In this episode of Nope! We’re Not Monogamous, relationship coach Ellecia Paine dives into the emotional cost of silence in open relationships and polyamory.
If you’ve ever swallowed your truth to keep the peace, or stayed quiet because you were scared of rocking the boat, this conversation will help you find the courage to speak up with honesty and compassion.
You’ll learn how to:
→ Recognize when you’re betraying yourself by staying quiet
→ Understand the fears that keep you silent in non-monogamy (rejection, loss, shame)
→ Speak your truth without exploding or shutting down
→ Create emotional safety for hard conversations with partners or metamours
→ Reconnect to your own inner honesty and nervous system safety
Because pretending your desires don’t exist won’t protect your relationship, it’ll rot it from the inside.
Your truth might hurt for a moment, but hiding it will hurt forever.
