• How couples and throuples can use these tools to prepare for polyamory or ENM

• Tips for bringing up psychedelics with a partner

• Legal considerations and how to access this kind of therapy

Nicole shares her journey from conservative purity culture to queer sex radical, offering grounded insights for those ready to explore healing, pleasure, and connection on a deeper level.
