EP450 – Monogamish: Exploring Intimacy and Freedom

EP450 – Monogamish: Exploring Intimacy and Freedom

Author: Dr. Nazanin Moali, Ph.D, Psychology of Sex | Couple Therapy | Sex Education August 5, 2025 Duration: 41:11

Welcome to Episode 450 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I’m excited to be joined by Carrie Jeroslow who speaks to me about exploring monogamish relationships, communication, and relationship diversity.


In this conversation, Carrie unpacks the term “Monogamish,” originally coined to describe a space between strict monogamy and fully open relationships, and shares how transparency, not secrecy, became the cornerstone of her own early experiences with non‑monogamy. We talk through the realities behind the “ish”: clunky starts, learning curves, aftercare, and the deep inner work that jealousy often invites.


International Best-Selling Author and Relationship Diversity Advocate, Carrie Jeroslow, is passionate about bringing intentionality into intimate relationships by releasing the programming of what we’re taught relationships SHOULD be and shifting to what we really WANT them to be. This highly personal process requires getting to know one's ever-evolving self as intimately as possible. She believes that when we learn and accept who we truly are, we can be more authentic in our relationships with others, which brings an unparalleled sense of joyfulness and fulfillment to our lives as a whole.


In this episode, you will hear:


·      Defining Monogamish

·      Honesty Over Secrecy

·      Aftercare And Debriefs

·      Becoming Intimate With Jealousy

·      Updating Inherited Beliefs

·      Boundaries You Can Revisit

·      Move At The Slowest Partner’s Pace

·      Culture, Labels, And Flexibility

·      Communication As A Core Skill
