Rachel Krantz is the author of Open: An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-Monogamy. She is also one of the founding co-editors of Bustle, and a recipeint of the Peabody Award. Rachel and I discuss the complicated and overwhelming process of finding safety and authenticity within the world of unconventional relationships. While being careful not to dismiss non-monogamy outright, we do our best to lend some much needed nuance to the topic. We discuss power dynamics, discernment, abuse, safety, trust and intuition, among many other things. Rachel's book is incredibly courageous, vulnerable and nuanced, and I was honored to discuss it with her in this conversation.
