This is a space for stories, tools, and too-honest conversations about building relationships that actually fit. I’m in an open marriage. You might not be. I celebrate all forms of commitment and focus on what anyone in any relationship style can learn from being openly committed. I write about open love, parenting, travel, and the many ways we try, fail, and try again to live life on our own terms. I believe in the wild act of choosing freedom without abandoning commitment. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to love than the rules you were given, you’re in the right place.
Because great relationships are built, not found.
