In this episode, I open up about the emotional turbulence that hit me after attending a leather contest over Labor Day weekend.

On today’s episode, join me, Mollena Lee Williams-Haas, and my friend Rebecca Lowrie, a “sexual alchemist” helping successful, spiritually curious men to explore and embrace their full, true selves through conscious sexuality.We begin by discussing how our perception of time changes as we age, leading to a conversation about personal growth and the importance of stability during periods of significant change. I share my journey towards starting my own consulting business and my new venture, Kink Doula, a service that provides coaching, mentoring, and more to those exploring their desires and relationships.We delve into the world of kink and BDSM, discussing the importance of self-negotiation and psychological intimacy. We also explore the concept of "contra sexuality," which involves safely exploring darker, non-normative sexual fantasies. We also touch on the potential benefits of exploring darker fantasies—and how doing that could potentially lead to some harm reduction.And just saying, if someone wants to bank roll our cult, you know where to find me. 😉(for legal reasons that is a joke)Join us for this heartfelt and honest conversation about self-love, acceptance, and embracing your true self.Links and Resources:Leon the LobsterKink DoulaComplimentary Class: "What The Heck Kind of Pervert Are You?"Rebecca Lowrie's InstagramThank you so much to my loyal Patrons who make this show possible! 💜 Join them here to support my work.Healthy Life - VIP Dope Ass Mofo!

Can you imagine holding onto a pebble of pain, rubbing it smooth over years, like a worry stone? In today's episode, we dive deep into the uncharted territory of emotional pain—how we deal with it, why we hold onto it, and how we might begin to let it go.I share some personal experiences around this topic, from the lingering pain of unresolved family issues to my spouse's past, and how it all intersects with my own hypervigilance and perpetual anxiety. I reflect on the value of having friends who are older and how observing their handling of life's ups and downs informs my perspective.There's an exploration of the irony of seeking physical pain in kink while shying away from emotional pain, and a deep dive into the theme of self-sabotage—our baffling tendency to undermine our own success.In a world that often discourages expressing negative emotions, learning to listen to our pain can be a radical act of self-love and healing. So join me as we journey into the heart of pain, and, perhaps, come out stronger on the other side.  Links and Resources: Work with me at KinkDoula.comUpcoming events   Thank you so much to my loyal Patrons who make this show possible! 💜 Join them here to support my work. 🤩Healthy Life - VIP Dope Ass Mofo! 😎 Elizabeth Scott - Supastar Ride-Or-Die! 🌟 Shimmering In The Firmament of AWESOME!

Have you ever caught yourself in a spiral of self-criticism and negativity? That's where I found myself in this episode, battling with the guilt of missed work commitments and the exhaustion in the aftermath of COVID-19.In this deeply personal reflection, I talk about my struggle with high expectations for myself, my battle with emotional perfectionism since childhood, and how I've grappled with the fear of disappointing others. It's been a tough journey, but I've had some pretty amazing people by my side, and I want to take a moment to appreciate them and the accomplishments I've made along the way.I also share the challenges of healthcare, the absurdity of American healthcare costs, and some frustrating experiences trying to get medication for a three-week trip to Europe. Plus, I dive into my new consulting venture, Kink Doula, and the scheduling issues that have come up.But it's not all hardship and struggle. There are moments of self-love and acceptance, of recognizing the beauty in our imperfections and the miracles of our lives.
