Intimacy, Attachment, and Relationship Anarchy (Season 2 | Episode 74)

Intimacy, Attachment, and Relationship Anarchy

with Josh and Tammy

(Season 2 | Episode 74)

You Already Know Josh and Tammy

Really. Yes. You Do.

For our devoted listeners, you will remember one of our most popular episodes, Eroticize Your Jealousy. At the time they used pseudonyms, Thea and Curt. The content they shared sizzled just a bit too much for them to use their real names. A good idea: go back and listen to this sexy episode then come back here to see where this fascinating relationship has moved to a year + later. What a trip we are on with Josh and Tammy. Life has changed so much for them since the last episode, yet their careful and smart (and highly intellectual) approach to relationships still shines through.

As open and intimate as this second episode with these remarkable people is, maybe the biggest joy for Amir and I is that we are all along for the ride on the emotions, changes and now, the new term relationship anarchy, that fills the lives of these two. Yes, there are children who now know about Josh and Tammy’s polyamory. Yes, there are other partners involved. If anarchy sounds bad, scary, or painful… think again. Relationship Anarchy defines what it is that Josh and Tammy “do for a living.”
