About Laurie

When I first stepped into polyamory and open relationships, it felt like my nervous system had been thrown into an electrical socket. I was overwhelmed—jealousy, insecurity, fear, and frustration all hit me at once. I wasn’t raised in an environment where emotions were welcomed, so my instinct was to shut down rather than express what I was feeling. But polyamory helped me to grow.
