We’re back again with Alexys part 2 in Asking For A Friend! The girls continue the conversation by talking about jealousy and how your partner flirting with a different person does not immediately mean attraction. Alexys opens up owning a small business, the mental struggles that come with it, and why she decided to go part-time. Alexys asks Jess raw questions about her upcoming "stepping into motherhood" and why people connect Polyamory with "white people shit".
In this episode of Open Late:
• Understanding the truth about flirting
• Owning a small business and "monetizing" your passions
• Stepping into Motherhood and having hard conversations with your kids
• "White people shit" and different cultural views on Polyamory
