040: Elethë Monk on the audacity of relationships - familial, non-monogamous and platonic

Trigger warning: Child sexual abuse

Welcome Elethë to the final episode of Season Two!! From non-monogamy, fluid sexuality, great platonic loves and familial loves it does not surprise me that Elly's audacious experiences are so deeply rooted in her relationships.

We discussed familial co-dependency and how unraveling the complexities of this relationship in particular allowed it to strengthen and is now the leading dynamic in Elly's life. I'm in actual awe of Elly's ability to set boundaries even with the people she loves the most.

We chewed the fat of her relationships with mother, lover and everyone else that comes into Elly's orbit. You can't ignore El's energy. And her pensive awareness of humanity on the micro and macro.

She's 5 years younger than me and yet has been one of the greatest teachers of my life thus far. I return the favour with life experiences but her outlook and uncompromising ethical system has inspired me for a long time.

It has been an honour to bring you this second season. I've interviewed people I admire, I aspire to emulate, I know and I love. All of the conversations have left me thinking and learning. It's been a dream to host this podcast and I thank you for each and every download and share. It means the world. More will be coming... I also have a newsletter and an upcoming YouTube.
