Irene is a somatic coach, pleasure witch, intimacy educator and bestselling author of The Polyamory Paradox: Finding Your Confidence in Consensual Non-monogamy.

Through her coaching, workshops, writing, and in-person sex-positive events, she guides others in creating relationships that fulfill their unique needs and desires, while nurturing their own pleasure and emotional liberation along the way. Her coaching work supports clients in untangling how cultural contexts and oppressive systems have worked their way into our beliefs and bodies in ways that keep us disconnected from ourselves and from each other.

Both Irene’s work and personal life revolve around the belief that centering our own pleasure is not only healing on an individual level, but also in service of interdependence and collective well being.

If you’ve ever wondered why opening your relationship feels exciting and like your nervous system is staging a coup… this episode is your new best friend.

In this conversation, I sit down with somatic coach, pleasure witch, and bestselling author Irene Morning, whose book The Polyamory Paradox finally names the body-based realities of non-monogamy that most people tiptoe around.

We talk about:
• how your body reacts to big relationship transitions
• why “thinking it through” only gets you so far
• jealousy, conflict, and co-triggering… and what to do when it all goes sideways
• the difference between what someone says and what you hear
• listening to your body when you’ve spent years overriding it
• micro-practices for regulation, repair, and pleasure
• permission to be poly, permission to be monogamous… permission to be YOU

Irene brings humor, nuance, lived experience, and the kind of grounded wisdom that makes everything feel less overwhelming and more possible. Whether you’re polyamorous, poly-curious, monogamous, or still deciding… this episode gives you real tools for real relationships, rooted in body awareness and compassion.
