Today we're talking about missing past relationships and partners, even if they hurt you or weren't good experiences. Most advice just says to get over it, but we're going to spend some time on why you miss these people and how wanting someone and enjoying someone run on different parts of the brain, and only one of them gets the memo that they were bad for you.

This week we're excited to welcome back Kim Tallbear to the show to talk about polyamory as a political movement.

She is also a regular media commentator on topics including Indigenous peoples, science, and technology; Indigenous sexualities; and the politics of non-monogamy. You can also follow her Substack newsletter, Unsettle: Indigenous affairs, cultural politics & (de)colonization.
