The Witch Blair: Challenging the stigma of an open relationship, dating in drag & Eden's live Tarot card reading

The Witch Blair very nearly stood Eden's guest up on a bad first date - if a phone call from a friend hadn't stopped them mid-text, they might never have met their husband of eight years.Blair opens up about growing up mixed-race, autistic and Muslim-and-Catholic in a tiny North Yorkshire village, the racism they and their sister faced after 9/11, and coming out to religious grandparents who responded better than expected. We get into meeting husband James on Grindr, the string of ghostings and near-misses right before it, and what almost 11 years together (eight of them married) has taught them about honesty, compromise and not expecting one person to meet every need.Blair also walks through why they and James opened their relationship, how they handle jealousy, communication and the "admin" of polyamory, and what it's actually like navigating the stigma around it. Plus the story of becoming The Witch Blair - from an accidental drag debut in a charity shop wig to running Lincoln's pride cabaret circuit for six years - and a full live tarot card reading Blair does for Eden's own relationship, right there in the episode.GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK IN OUR LISTENER SURVEY ⚡️The Witch Blair is a drag performer, podcaster, and tarot card reader.Growing up mixed-race in the late 90s and early 00s with both muslim and catholic family was challenging, especially when it came to navigating their pansexuality and non-binary identity.They've been happily married for the last 8 years whilst discovering the joys of an open relationships and battling the stigma of polyamory.Follow Eden on Instagram 💕Follow The Witch Blair on Instagram 🔮SUPPORT THE PODCASTEden funds this podcast to bring the highest quality content, the most interesting guests and inspiring conversations whilst working full-time.
