G is for Grief & Gratitude
What do we do when love breaks our hearts and fills them at the same time? When grief sits beside gratitude — both insisting on being felt?
In this episode of The ABCs of Polyamirite, Chelle explores the quiet relationship between two truths that shape every polyamorous life: love changes, and love remains.
Grief arrives when a relationship ends, when compersion doesn’t land, when metamours drift, when imagined futures dissolve. Gratitude arrives when, despite all that, something inside you still whispers thank you for what was, and what still is.
In non-monogamy, we’re told to focus on abundance and joy, but grief and gratitude are part of that abundance too. They’re the pulse of love in motion, the reminder that endings and beginnings share the same breath.
What if grief isn’t an interruption of love, but its continuation?
And what if gratitude isn’t the denial of pain, but the way we stay connected to what’s real?
Through honest reflection, stories, and body-based practices, Chelle invites listeners to see grief and gratitude as co-conspirators in healing… two lenses that help us keep our hearts open, even when they ache.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Recognize the many faces of grief in polyamorous relationships — from major losses to daily micro-griefs
✅ Discover how gratitude can soften grief without erasing it
✅ Map your gratitude network and honor the people who shape your polyamorous journey
✅ Reframe difficult emotions through appreciation and perspective
✅ Express gratitude creatively and physically — beyond words
✅ Practice holding both grief and gratitude in the same breath
✅ Understand how grief reshapes love, and how gratitude helps it keep flowing
Grief is love transformed. Gratitude is that love, still glowing.

F is for Fear
What happens when our hearts race, our stomachs drop, and our minds spin stories that keep us awake at night? In this episode of The ABCs of Polyamirite, Chelle unpacks one of the most primal, misunderstood, and unavoidable parts of nonmonogamous life: fear.
Fear isn’t just panic or terror. In relationships, it can be the quiet hum beneath jealousy, the sharp edge behind anger, or the silence after a missed check-in. It can keep us small, reactive, and guarded — or, if we learn how to work with it, it can become one of our greatest teachers.
But in the vulnerable, sometimes high-stakes arena of polyamory, fear doesn’t just disappear because we want to be “secure” or “enlightened.” In fact, opening our relationships can turn the volume up on every old wound, every cultural script, every “what if” we’ve ever carried.
What do we do when fear starts to run the show?
What if our fear is rooted in past trauma?
What if it leads us to set rules, pick fights, or pull away from the people we love?
This episode is a compassionate guide to navigating fear in non-monogamous relationships… not by pretending it isn’t there, but by getting curious about what it’s trying to protect.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Understand fear as a survival response — and why it gets louder in polyamory
✅ Spot the hidden ways fear disguises itself as jealousy, anger, or disinterest
✅ Recognize how fear shapes behavior — from controlling rules to withdrawal
✅ Reframe fear as information instead of an enemy
✅ Build emotional regulation skills to work through fear before reacting
✅ Communicate fears in a way that invites connection instead of blame
✅ Discern when fear is telling you to pause versus when it’s inviting you to grow
✅ Use fear as a compass to clarify your values, boundaries, and desires
Fear isn’t a sign you’re failing at polyamory. It’s a sign you’re human — and you’re stretching beyond what’s familiar.
