Welcome back, Evita!

Evita Sawyers was last on the show for episode 310: Polyamory Reminders, and has rejoined us today to talk about her new book, A Polyamory Devotional: 365 Daily Reflections for the Consensually Nonmonogamous. During this episode, she elaborates on the following topics:

• Her divorce and current polyamorous journey.

• The process of writing her book and the choice to call it a devotional.

• Moving past old hurts and pain.

• Benefits of polyamory beyond having multiple partners.

• Feeling a shift in all relationships and what that experience has been like for her.

She also was kind enough to answer some of our listeners’ questions:

1. “How do you navigate the murkiness of having to talk about your own relationships in your book when your words could affect people you’ve been in relationships with? How in particular do you navigate this when you’ve got to be accountable for times when you may have hurt others, where writing about this publicly might be tricky? And what do you do when other people’s experiences don’t line up with what you’ve written about?”

2. “How is monogamy and the colonization of spirituality interconnected?”

3. “Did she see her polyam journey in the start going in the direction it is today? What's been the biggest surprise as she continued down this journey? Has she ever wished she wasn't polyamorous and could close Pandora's box and undo it all?”
