(ENG): COURTNEY BOYER: I asked my husband for an open
marriage after 17 years.
Courtney Boyer joins me for a deeply honest, sometimes
uncomfortable conversation about desire, shame, and what happens
when you stop living your life for approval.
We talk about growing up in purity culture, marrying young, and
building a life that looked “right” from the outside but didn’t
fully feel like hers. After 17 years of marriage, she asked for
something that would change everything and we get into what
actually happens after a moment like that. Not the fantasy, but
the conversations, the fear, the tension, and the growth that
follows.
We also explore navigating non-monogamy in a monogamous
partnership, the emotional reality behind opening a relationship,
and why so many women feel disconnected from their own needs in
the first place.
This isn’t a guide or a blueprint. It’s a real conversation about
self-abandonment, reclaiming pleasure, and learning to choose
yourself even when it’s messy, complicated, and doesn’t fit into
neat labels.
