Hello, Loving Without Boundaries (LWB) community!

I am absolutely thrilled to share my latest podcast interview with the amazing Jen Gerardy, parenting consultant and founder of Polyam Parenting. I had the opportunity to meet and personally get to know Jen when our mutual friend and colleague, Dr. Elisabeth Sheff (Eli), introduced us when we were all co-presenters at Polytopia this past September 2026 in Portland, Oregon. Oh, what fun we had! I felt on top of the world hob-nobbing with other fine, wicked smaaahhhttt presenters before, during, and after the event. Jen is an absolute delight, and just oozes compassion and caring for those she serves in our community, helping them be the best polyamorous parents they can possibly be. We also enjoyed the finer things in life, such as dining out for Peruvian food accompanied by live music, and then Eli had the wonderful inspiration to take us all to a fantastically hilarious arcade as well, where we all attempted to look like we knew how to play pinball and I got to show off my Ms. Pacman chops from the 80s. Yay! Jen, I am so honored to know you, and I have no doubt we will meet again while we are presenting at conferences – whether it’s my coast or yours, or the midwest as well. Keep doing your spectacular work supporting our beloved community! You rock!

Here is her Bio:

Jen is a parenting consultant and the founder of Polyam Parenting, the comprehensive resource for raising children within non-monogamous families.

Some topics we discuss in this highly interesting, informative, and thought-provoking interview:

• Work that centers on bringing people together around parenting, relationships, and community needs.

• Legal protection gap for non-monogamous people.

• Efforts to improve rights and health-care access for consensually non-monogamous people.

• Recognizing during childhood that monogamy did not make sense.

• How parenting became a path back toward living more fully and authentically.

• Rebuilding authentic relationships.

• The concept that gender identity and presentation can take many forms.

• Tune in to listen to this fantastic podcast episode!
