<p><em>Alternative episode title: Famous Last Words</em></p>
<p>In this episode, The Daylovers (Jes, Joe, and Ash) talk about: </p>
<p>*what Datty is learning in polyamory (fear of trying and failing at finding compatible partners),</p>
<p>*what Ash is learning about parenthood and co-parenting (letting go of attachment, not trying to immediately nip things in the bud or cast judgment, learning to pause...),</p>
<p>*what Jes is learning in polyamory, which she breaks down to what she is learning through each of her partners:</p>
<p> >>with Joe: are we "just" gay best friends? </p>
<p> >>with Dr. M: learning to lean into my fear of my partner's expansion, which is really just fear of my own,</p>
<p> >>with Loverboy: (GASP. WHO IS LOVERBOY?? Find out inside this episode!)</p>
<p>Most heatedly, they talk about the dreadful art of "Downplaying" after Joe accuses Jes of downplaying her connection with Loverboy. Downplaying in polyamory can be a really contentious topic. Downplaying can be: <strong>pretending that new connections don’t have a sexual or romantic vibe when they actually do, dampening one's excitement or hope about a new connection, dampening how you actually feel about a new connection, downplaying the possibilities of what may come, etc...</strong></p>
<p><strong>This convo gets real and honest as fuck, and we're excited to bring y'all into the room with us and how we work through conflict/call each other out on our bullshit.</strong></p>
