Kyle Peltier: Polyamorist
I’m Kyle, 39, and I’ve been practicing ethical non-monogamy for over 15 years. My journey started in a KTP(Kitchen Table Poly) polycule, where I (mostly) shared a home with my girlfriend, her husband, and
his girlfriend. It was a dynamic arrangement that taught me a lot about communication, boundaries, and the complexities of shared relationships. Also a lot of what not to do. During that time, I also dated single and partnered polyamorous people, gaining a broad perspective on the many ways people approach love and connection.
After a seven-year relationship, of which five were spent monogamous, I found myself returning to polyamory. Now, I have one committed partner and am actively dating others, focusing on building genuine connections and relationships with intention and respect. For me, polyamory is about embracing openness, communication, and finding joy in ethically exploring what is possible with other like-minded people.
Jan Dominy: Host, Relationship Scientist, Coach, and Researcher
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Sociology and my research focus is on interpersonal relationships with an emphasis on Consensual Non-Monogamy. I enjoy various pursuits of happiness as a creator. I enjoy photography, writing, music, and Burning Man. I identify as a queer/bisexual/demisexual cisgender female. I am polyamorous and prefer to date mostly men, however I do love to have a special lady in my life as well. I tend to max out at 3 partners as saturated/satisfied. I am a deeply intimate friend, prefering to take on the role of "sis" to all which is why I am calling my podcast "Hey Sis".
