Episode Seventeen: Picking Sides 12.12.2021

Would You Like Soup, Salad, Submission, Or Dominance With Your Entree? In this episode, I am going to chat about some of my thoughts on picking sides. I am not going to be offering advice on if soup or salad would complement your dinner but on the process of discovery that leads a person to call one side of the D/S slash home and how that decision may evolve. So grab your salad, soup, or both and...

Episode Sixteen: Let's Celebrate 03.12.2021

It is the holiday season and so let’s celebrate. This episode is about celebrating the successes of a D/S partnership, rather than focusing on the consequences of flubs, dubs, and broken rules.

Episode Fifteen: Learn From My Mistakes 16.11.2021

Episode Twelve And A Half: Building D/S Relationship Success 28.10.2021

In this podcast, I chat about some of the things that I believe all D/S relationships need to have to create a successful partnership. So much of social media and lifestyle sites are filled with horror stories of relationships going wrong, I wanted to talk about positive ways to craft a thriving D/S partnership. Also, because I am a superstitious ice hockey goalie, I could not bring myself to use...

Episode Eleven: The Danger Of Lifestyle Trainers 29.08.2021

Welcome to the eleventh installment of my D/S lifestyle-themed podcast. In this episode, I will be discussing the danger that dominant 'trainers' bring to new or newer submissives and how mentors are a much better path for lifestyle growth.

Episode Ten: Let's Play 23.08.2021

On this episode, I chat about lifestyle play, consent, understanding yourself as well as the joys of toys, and the best part of all the lifestyle fun and games, aftercare.

Episode Nine: Why Don’t They Last 17.08.2021

The thoughts for this episode came out of a question about long term lifestyle partnerships and will touch on the pitfalls of lifestyle love which, spoiler alert, are not normally lifestyle issues.

Episode Eight: Yes Please 04.08.2021

So often all of us can get caught up in a sea of no. Often, saying no can be easier than yes but saying yes, especially in a D/S relationship has so many benefits. With that in mind, I chat about the power of saying yes.

Episode Seven: Seeing Things Differently 25.07.2021

Within the D/S lifestyle it is so important to agree to disagree while learning from the journeys of others, even if we do not practice things the same way.

Episode Three: Comings and Goings 28.03.2021

In this episode (said in my dramatic TV voice), I chat about coming to and going away from the lifestyle and how it is a beacon of light, not darkness.

Episode Two: It’s No Myth, I’m No Romeo In Black Jeans 14.03.2021

In this episode, I discuss some of the myths that compare the D/S lifestyle to vanilla relationships, my take on "Crime and Punishment" or better said rules and punishment and while I did not record this in black jeans, my mind was humming Michael Penn's No Myth while I was jotting notes down before recording. Please enjoy episode two and I look forward to chatting with you again in two weeks. Unt...
