Jealousy & Non-Monogamy: Communication, Boundaries & Emotional Intelligence ft. Dr. Joli Hamilton

Send us Fan MailJealousy is one of the most universal human emotions — and in non-traditional relationships it can either destroy everything or become a powerful catalyst for deeper self-understanding and connection. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, sits down with Dr. Joli Hamilton, research psychologist, relationship coach, and leading expert on jealousy in non-monogamous relationships, to explore what jealousy actually is, where it comes from, and how to navigate it without letting it derail your relationships. Dr. Hamilton brings both rigorous academic research and deeply personal experience to a conversation that is equally relevant for monogamous and non-monogamous couples. Topics covered: what jealousy actually is at its psychological and emotional core and why it is so misunderstood, how jealousy manifests differently in non-monogamous versus traditional relationship structures, the role of emotional intelligence in managing jealousy constructively rather than destructively, communication strategies for couples navigating jealousy and boundary setting in non-traditional relationships, self-exploration as a tool for understanding the root causes of your jealousy, destigmatizing non-monogamy and ethical non-monogamy in mainstream relationship culture, how to use jealousy as information rather than a stop sign, and building relationships that are inclusive, emotionally honest, and resilient across all relationship styles. Take Dr. Hamilton's relationship quiz at joliquiz.com, find her jealousy roadmap at jealousyroadmap.com, and listen to her podcast Playing with Fire on all major platforms.Work with Dr. [email protected] with Between the Sheets:IG: @ReviveISHEmail: [email protected]#podmatchWant to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?
