In Episode 7 of The Cost of Love, Haley McGee sits down with coach and philosopher Jared Philippo to explore a deliciously complex idea: ethical hedonism.
This is a conversation about pleasure—with purpose. Jared shares his thoughts on how we can pursue joy, connection, and intimacy in a way that’s honest, intentional, and deeply respectful of others. From non-monogamy and dating to boundaries, values, and gut instinct, this episode digs into the ethics behind our desires—and how to align what feels good with what feels right.
In the edit, we leaned into the rhythm of this dialogue. The conversation flows like jazz—philosophical but accessible, reflective yet energising. Our role was to preserve that ease and let the listener feel like a participant in the exploration.
If you’ve ever wondered how to balance your own wants with the emotional cost to others—or how to live more freely without abandoning responsibility—this one’s for you.
