Polyamory – Daisy & Cory

Polyamory – Daisy & Cory

Daisy (with Cory for support) shares about her emotionally absent parents, Taiwanese culture, her anxiety, need to control, fear of making mistakes, struggling to find a sense of self and the imprint left on her by pleasing her emotionally withdrawn/critical mother at any cost. They share about the specifics of their polyamorous relationship and agreements/boundaries vs open ones and monogamous ones. Daisy talks about the struggle of being a jealous person in a poly partnership and her need for Cory’s validation sometimes being at odds with her desire to have freedom to explore love with other people.

    Just found this podcast, and dove into this episode since I am also a codependent polyamorous person.
    Just wanna say I commend Daisy for being so transparent about her process. I felt like she was telling my story at times. It’s a brave thing to hold yourself accountable for a goal you have, with a foundation built from fear and guilt.

    Guess I just want to say bravo because I can relate!
