Kat and Doc shoot for the stars and discuss the world of "comet" relationships—those passionate, intermittent connections that flare up brightly before drifting apart, sometimes for long periods. Inspired by celestial phenomena, these relationships often span distances or time gaps, offering intensity without demanding constant presence. Kat and Doc break down the nuances between comets, meteors, and even local comets, highlighting the beauty and complexity of non-monogamous relationships that defy traditional expectations.

Listeners are guided through essential strategies for maintaining clear communication and creating thoughtful agreements that nurture these unique bonds. From proactive discussions on boundaries and safety to managing emotional expectations and avoiding common pitfalls like relationship saturation, the episode is packed with practical advice. Kat candidly shares personal experiences, including insightful reflections on managing emotional transparency and protecting established relationships.

Finally, the discussion turns introspective, prompting listeners to consider their personal motivations and boundaries. How do comet relationships enrich or complicate one's polyamorous journey? With an engaging blend of personal anecdotes and actionable advice, Kat and Doc provide a thoughtful guide for navigating these bright yet fleeting connections.
