  • Ep 57: Chemistry With Someone New: When Connection Threatens Stability 🧪💥🫦
    Feb 17 2026

    In this episode, we face our biggest test yet: what happens when chemistry with someone new starts to shake the foundation of everything we’ve built? ⚡💔

    In this brutally honest episode (edit: don't worry guys, we're fine!), Anna opens up about her fears around a woman who may be crossing boundaries, while Aiden finds himself fumbling through coffee dates, phone calls, and the emotional tightrope of trying to stay connected to everyone involved in this unfolding dynamic. What starts as an opportunity for Aiden (at last!) quickly turns into something much more complicated. ☕📱🫦

    We dive into the hard questions:

    • Are we accidentally drifting toward polyamory? 🤯
    • How do you handle jealousy without turning into the relationship police? 🚨
    • When does attraction stop being exciting and start feeling like a threat? 🔥➡️😬

    In attempt to understand, we dive in to the poly books (spoiler: we’re still not poly), talk about why rigid rules often lead to secrecy, and get painfully real about what comes up when freedom and fear collide. 📚💭

    Topics include: radical honesty vs. emotional protection, swinging vs. polyamory, codependence vs. healthy interdependence, and how to voice insecurity without controlling your partner. 🧠❤️‍🩹

    This episode is messy, vulnerable, and deeply human… a front-row seat to what happens when someone new becomes a potential game changer. 🎙️💥

  • Ep 55: Our Relationship Constitution 📝❤️ & A Very Sexy NYE 🎉💦
    Feb 1 2026

    After weeks of messy feelings, deep dives, and sexting slip-ups, we finally sat down to co-create our Relationship Constitution—or at least, what we think we want it to be (for now!). From rules around emotional support and separate play to a surprising agreement about one last solo date with Jasmine for Aiden, we get real about what safety, fairness, and connection look like in an open marriage.

    We also spill the juicy details from our wild New Year’s Eve party—including a successful Trimix comeback (no ER visits this time!).✨ Whether you're figuring out your own boundaries or just here for the voyeurism, this episode is packed with big feels, honest renegotiations, and a whole lot of sexy fun.

  • Ep 54: Taking the Governor Off 🚦💬 Sexy Texts, Separate Play, and Surrendering Control
    Jan 24 2026

    Ep 54: Taking the Governor Off 🚦💬 Sexy Texts, Separate Play, and Surrendering Control

    What happens when Anna’s working through her own insecurities and growing pains--but still wants to give Aiden the green light to connect and date separately? In this episode, we open up about our processing after Aiden’s solo coffee meetup with Jasmine—and the unexpected emotional fallout it triggered.

    From guilt and arousal to fear and freedom, we walk through the intimate conversations that led us to a big new step: taking the governor off our texts with others. That’s right—flirty, sexy, transparent one-on-one texting is officially on the table (for both of us), and we’re seeing what it stirs up.

    We explore what it means to support your partner’s desires even when they scare you, why transparency matters more than ever, and how arousal and anxiety can surprisingly coexist in open relationships. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance eroticism with emotional safety—or just want a peek into how couples actually navigate these moments—you’re gonna want to hear this one. 💌🔥
