Twenty years of marriage. One life-altering question.&nbsp;Natalie Davis’s brave and candid memoir&nbsp;chronicles the transformation of her traditional monogamous marriage into a vibrant polyamorous lifestyle.
When her husband suggests they have sex with strangers, Natalie is incredulous. Yet, in the aftermath of his infidelity and while battling the voice in her head urging her to leave him, she agrees to try non-monogamy. What follows surprises no one more than Natalie—a soccer mom and DOJ&nbsp;lawyer—as she embarks on a daring journey down&nbsp;the rabbit hole&nbsp;of polyamory. Fearing for her livelihood and community standing, Natalie must keep her new lifestyle secret. She navigates complex relationships, including&nbsp;increasing clashes with&nbsp;her boyfriend’s wife (her “metamour”), confronting a therapist who claims polyamory is abusive, and debating what to tell her family and friends. Along the way, she discovers her own bold sexuality, experiences the thrill of young lovers, finds empathy from her husband’s experienced poly girlfriend, and learns to weather heartbreak and find bliss. Saying Yes&nbsp;offers an unvarnished look into Natalie’s&nbsp;world,&nbsp;as she explores excitement, intimacy, and connection in unexpected places, including a few stairwells. With humor, heart, and raw honesty, this memoir is for anyone who has ever wondered what might happen if we say yes to what lies beyond conventional relationships.
Natalie Davis, author of “Saying Yes: My Adventures in Polyamory,” is the editor of the online publication Polyamory Today. Her work has appeared in Heart Affairs, Discovering Polyamory, Monogamish, and The Memoirist. She has been interviewed on relationship podcasts and has presented workshops on communication and non-monogamy across the United States. A recovering DOJ trial lawyer, she lives in the Washington, DC, area, with her partner and metamour.

Networking isn&rsquo;t just about swapping business cards or adding LinkedIn connections&mdash;it&rsquo;s about building relationships that matter. At Rainwater Growth, we believe that meaningful connections are the foundation of personal and professional success.
That&rsquo;s why we host virtual networking events designed for professionals who invest in themselves. Our next event is on Wednesday, January 8, and it&rsquo;s more than a video call&mdash;it&rsquo;s an intentional experience.
What Makes This Event Different? 
&#10004; Structured Conversations: Guided prompts like &ldquo;What&rsquo;s one skill you&rsquo;d like to master?&rdquo; help you move beyond small talk. 
&#10004; Breakout Rooms: Connect in smaller groups for deeper dialogue. 
&#10004; Practical Takeaways: Share your ideal client profile, celebrate wins, and learn from others.
Whether you&rsquo;re a business owner, freelancer, or career professional, this event offers a space to:
<ul>
 <li>Exchange contact information</li>
 <li>Practice introducing your business with confidence</li>
 <li>Discover collaboration opportunities</li>
 <li>Build relationships that last</li>
</ul>
Why Virtual Networking Works: 
It removes geographic barriers, saves time, and creates opportunities in unexpected places. As one past attendee said: 
&ldquo;I liked getting to know some of the other people in the group a little more in depth than I have in other groups.&rdquo;
