In this episode of 'The Only One in the Room,' Laura Cathcart Robbins and Scott Slaughter interview Ally Iseman, a relationship coach specializing in non-monogamy. Ally shares her personal journey from a disastrous attempt to open up a monogamous relationship to becoming a prominent figure in the sex-positive community, hosting educational events, and coaching couples on how to navigate non-monogamy successfully. The conversation explores different forms of non-monogamous relationships, the importance of communication, and the necessity of having a solid foundational relationship before opening up. Ally also highlights the societal stigma around non-monogamy and the risks involved in being public about it. The discussion aims to demystify non-monogamy, offering insights and guidance for those curious about exploring different relationship dynamics.   Thanks for supporting today’s show sponsor:   Mercedes Cusick Trauma Specialist  Course Website: https://recoverhealbloom.com/ - Use promo code ONLYONE (All Caps) to receive 10% off    Ally Iseman: Contact:  hello@passport2pleasure.com Website: www.passport2pleasure.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@passport2pleasure Substack: https://allyiseman.substack.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passport2pleasure, https://www.instagram.com/allyiseman Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@passport2pleasure Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554151163099 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/passport2pleasure, www.linkedin.com/in/allyiseman   Only One In The Room: Email: cathcartrobbins@gmail.com Website: http://www.theonlyonepod.com/  Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2P3sYOA  iTunes: https://apple.co/2UUZ04Y   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOnlyOneintheRoomPodcast  Instagram: instagram.com/theonlyoneintheroom   X: https://x.com/TheOnlyOnePodc1  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheOnlyOneInTheRoomPodcast/ TikTok: tiktok.com/@theonlyoneintheroom Patreon: patreon.com/theonlyonepodcast    Recover Heal Bloom Online Courses Mercedes Cusick, LMFT, is an EMDR Certified and Advanced Trained Trauma Specialist and the creator of Trauma Unlocked: Understanding Your Childhood Trauma and Healing Your Nervous System to Restore Balance. She specializes in helping people recover from trauma, including childhood trauma, addiction, sexual trauma, narcissistic abuse, and more.   Course Website: www.recoverhealbloom.com Use promo code: ONLYONE (all caps) to receive 10% off Trauma Unlocked   Therapy Website: www.mercedescusick.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/recoverhealbloom TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@recoverhealbloom Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/recoverhealbloom YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@recoverhealbloom LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/recoverhealbloom Learn more about your ad choices.

Laura Cathcart Robbins hosts the thoughtful and necessary Only One In The Room. The podcast was born from a specific, shared human experience: that jarring, sometimes isolating moment of looking around and realizing you are singular in some defining way. For Laura, a writer and advocate, it was being the only Black woman at a prestigious writer's retreat. Writing about that experience created an unexpected wave of connection, with messages pouring in from people of all backgrounds who’d felt that same "only one" pang in boardrooms, classrooms, and social gatherings. This isn't a lecture series; it's a collection of conversations. Each episode delves into the nuanced reality of what it means to navigate spaces where you stand out, exploring the subtle microaggressions, the unexpected moments of grace, and the profound personal resilience that emerges from these situations. Laura guides discussions with empathy and sharp insight, creating a space where guests-from various walks of life-share their deeply personal stories. Listeners will find their own experiences reflected and gain a clearer understanding of others', making the podcast a unique tool for both self-discovery and societal education. It’s about the universal longing to be seen fully while feeling fundamentally different, and how those stories, when shared, can build bridges of genuine understanding.
