The Exchange Episode 9 - The PolyWred Exchange

The Exchange Episode 9 - The PolyWred Exchange
Dear Listeners, Viewers, and Participants of Exchanges; Its been a LONG time, but with summer sneaking around the corner the opportunities for exchanges grows ever so vastly. This Exchange has been sitting in the vault for a long time (MONTHS) ready to be released for wandering souls to take heed. After popular demand for more talks on the idea of Polyamory this Exchange is coming in at full force with newcomer Wred. I first learned about Wred from the Podcast - Terrible Dates and Then Some - Hosted by fellow affiliate, podcast partner, and inspiration Pooh. Wred has many stories that you can find in his talks with Pooh, but for this episode he opens up about his experience with Polyamory, his pursuit to develop relationships, learning about personal growth, and his history of sexual identity. We break down some ideas, misunderstandings, and the mistakes about stepping into the world as individuals of polyamory- Wred even schools me a bit about using love languages wrong which was an eye opener for yours truly. But this is the exchange, and if we can't openly discuss viewpoints and ideas respectfully, how are we going to grow as individuals. This definitely gave me some insight and come check it out! Have the Day You Deserve - Exchange P.S. - if you could advise your friends, lovers, and partners to listen to the Exchange on Spotify and if you could share this using Spotify specifically that would be most appreciated. I'm going to try to be more active and your voice, suggestions, and efforts to share these stories of advice help me stay motivated to do just that.

The Exchange Episode 8 Part 2 - Toxic Love Hurts (Trauma Bonding)

The Exchange Episode 8 Part 2 - Toxic Love Hurts (Trauma Bonding)
*Please listen on Spotify if possible* This is PART 2 to our first ever 2 PARTER episode. WELCOME to the Exchange, I am joined by newcomer Night. In part 1 Night came to me on the phone talking about his ongoing relationship with his girlfriend and the issues he has been having about how he's being treated, the comments she has been saying, and the overall confusing vibes of the relationship. After speaking with him for a bit he agreed to turn his situation into an episode and I was able to grab POOH once again, to give him a fresh set of eyes and a fresh set of ideas on what's going. Pooh took over for a bit cause speaking to someone for an hour and speaking to them again about the same thing for another hour and some change is very tiring. We learn a little bit about Night and his relationship with his girlfriend. We learn about his various quirks and we learn about how hard this boy is willing to love, almost to the point that it hurts. What's a guy to do when he truly loves someone? In Part 2 we come to the dramatic conclusion of Night's story and realizations. Pooh takes an in-depth look into his trauma bonding research and learns that the things that were happening in Night's relationship were tactics used to emotionally and mentally manipulate him. Talk about toxic.  Poll is still open from part 1 on whether he should leave; but now that we've hit part 2 what do you think he should do now that you have all the information?  Should he leave? Should he stay?  Participate in our spotify poll to answer those questions and if you don't have access to spotify and would like to participate email us at 4the1exchange@gmail.com so you can get your two cents in.
