Crowdsource Question: Learning

We’re back with a special bonus episode recorded on the road at Southwest Love Fest 2025! We asked SWLF attendees, speakers and staff what was one new thing they learned recently that changed the way they thought about relationships. As always, a HUGE thank you to everyone who lent us their time, voices, thoughts and personal stories that we are honored to share with you this week! In this episode Nova and Fox also share a bit about current plans for Season 3 of Mindful Poly. Consider this bonus episode a special in-between seasons treat. We would love to hear feedback about episodes, comments, criticisms, or anything else you would like to share! Write to us at podcast@mindfulpoly.com [podcast@mindfulpoly.com]

Philosophy : Facticity & Transcendence

Nova and Fox take a page from Sartre and explore the concepts of Facticity and Transcendence. What is true about me right now? Who am I on the path to becoming? How can I find the balance between my past actions, current circumstances, and my future potential? Thanks for joining us for Season 2! Mindful Poly will return for another season soon!

Milestones : Poly Breakups

Fox and Nova "break up" the tension in the room and dive into the deep end of relationship transitions, explore the ways breakups are felt and viewed by others, why we resist change and how can we honor the good reasons we might choose to end relationships.
