À propos de cet audio

Welcome to The ENM DNM, the podcast where we have deep and meaningful (DNM) conversations about ethical non-monogamy (ENM).

Whether you're curious, practising, or deep in the trenches of polyamorous life, this show holds space for all the messy, joyful, complex realities of ENM.


Each episode dives into different themes, from getting started, to communication struggles, identity, dating stories, and how ENM intersects with the wider (often mononormative) world. You’ll hear honest stories, personal experiences, and the occasional bit of swearing, laughter, or tea-spilling.
This isn’t a how-to guide. It’s not prescriptive. It’s a space to reflect, connect, and hear how others are navigating ENM in all its forms. We're queer-run, community-focused, and proud of the diversity of voices we platform.

  • Episode 4: Coming Out… or Not: ENM and the People We Love
    Jul 16 2025
    Episode 4: Families, Friends, and the (Mono) World

    World What happens when you’re living ethically non-monogamous — but your friends, family, or workplace aren’t? In this episode, we unpack the messy, beautiful, and often awkward moments of coming out in a monogamous world. We talk about the choices we make around who to tell, how we tell them, and why some of us don’t tell anyone at all. From religious upbringings and conservative families to tricky friendship dynamics and professional boundaries, this episode dives into the real-life impact of being ENM in spaces that might not understand it. Whether you’re fully out, quietly navigating disclosure, or somewhere in between, this conversation holds space for it all — with vulnerability, reflection, and a little bit of sass. What We Talk About:
    • Coming out as ethically non-monogamous to friends, family, and colleagues
    • Navigating disclosure in conservative or religious families
    • Balancing identity, safety, and authenticity in the workplace
    • Friendship shifts, chosen family, and community support
    • How queer identity, culture, and values shape ENM disclosure
    • The emotional labour of educating others about ethical non-monogamy

  • Episode 3: Intersectionality and ENM

    Episode 3: Intersectionality and ENM

    What happens when your queerness, culture, neurodivergence, and upbringing all collide with ethical non-monogamy? We’re talking about the beautiful mess that is intersectionality. In this episode, we explore how identity shapes the way we show up in ethical non-monogamy (ENM). From growing up in religious households or navigating white privilege to being queer, neurodivergent, or culturally “othered,” we get real about how our histories affect our desires, relationships, and sense of belonging in polyamorous and open relationship spaces. This is one for anyone who's ever wondered, "Am I doing this right?" or "Is it just me?" (Spoiler: it’s not.)

    What We Talk About:
    • How race, culture, gender, and queerness influence our experiences in ENM
    • The impact of religious and conservative upbringings on identity and relationships
    • Shame, internalised norms, and how we begin to unlearn them
    • The role of gender identity and sexuality in open relationships
    • Navigating ENM while feeling “not queer enough” or “too much”
    • Relationship structures beyond the mainstream
    • Friendship, intimacy, and redefining what connection means
    • Vulnerability, self-discovery, and making space for change
