In this raw backyard recording, I revisit season one of the show and the journey that unfolded as I unapologetically led with desire. What started as moments of “cringe” listening back, turned into a deep celebration of self-trust, erotic aliveness, and the art of letting life be mystery-led. I share how living on the Big Island opened me back into my feminine, how a fated encounter with Tejas (Sanskrit for “fire”) awakened a new chapter of reclamation, and how learning to walk with desire—without guaranteed outcomes—has shaped the leadership and intimacy I now embody. This episode is an invitation into the dance of feminine flow and masculine structure, of self-trust as the foundation for orgasmic aliveness, and of sovereignty as an identity that transcends the boxes the world projects onto us. If you're ready to remember your essence, reclaim your power, and live life as art—this conversation is for you.
