<p>This week on the <em>Big Sister Hotline</em>, Clem explores the tender chaos of desire and identity. Our listener writes from the crossroads of marriage and a queer awakening - torn between devotion to her husband and the magnetic pull of a woman who stirs something long-buried. Clem unpacks what it means to honour your truth inside systems that were never built for it, the grief of boundaries that clash with longing, and why self-discovery isn’t betrayal... it’s liberation.</p><br><p>If you would like to submit a question for a future episode, please email <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><br><p>Sources mentioned in this episode:</p><p><a href="https://www.booktopia.com.au/polysecure-jessica-fern/book/9781944934989.html?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=22008020799&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw9obIBhCAARIsAGHm1mSrj5vUlvhgaRHkdjy960QkgYt3fWBaotYo6lQZfa_bKaihog7O4R4aAl2_EALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Polysecure</em> by Jessica Fern </a></p><p><a href="https://metropolisbookshop.com.au/p/the-self-the-ethical-slut-a-practical-guide-to-polyamory-open-relationships-and-other-freedoms-in-sex-and-love" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Ethical Slut </em>by Janet W.
