We dig into how kink can actually be a tool for healing trauma and building emotional resilience by providing a structured, consent-driven space for exploration.Here's what we get into:How kink practices can build trust and create safe spaces for trauma survivorsThe importance of clear communication and consent in both kink and non-monogamous relationshipsPractical tools for managing triggers and building emotional resilienceThe healing power of choosing your own challenges in controlled environmentsHow herbal remedies can enhance intimacy and pleasure (yes, herbs have a place in the bedroom!)And we get into all things Kinkfest, the largest kink convention in the world, and how it creates a judgement-free zone for self-expression and play. Maeve's ability to mix nurturing mom energy with badass kink educator vibes makes her perspective refreshing and super accessible for those new to the scene.Meet Maeve McBride:Maeve is not your average kink educator. She's a clinical sexological herbalist and trauma-informed coach who blends her deep knowledge of kink, non-monogamy, and plant medicine into her work.

Have you ever wanted to be tied up and suspended from the ceiling?  As with most things, there's a kink for that. Shibari is the art of Japanese rope bondage, which is often paired with suspension — being hung from frames and swings. Nat heads to Oz Kink Fest to check it out for herself, and chats with suspension expert Avalon about why it's becoming so popular.

D20Domme joins us to discuss the scene in DC, POC and plus-size in the community, FemDomme, various fetishes, ProDommes, and classes. Cameo appearance by Sadie's Snowy Howler. Bio: d20domme is unapologetically kinky. Known as pint-height, poly(androus), plus-size, POC, 24/7 Femdom who knows what she wants and will use her craft in mindfuckery and persuasive viper tongue to get it. Ever evolving she often equates her 10+ year journey into kink as 'falling down the rabbit hole’ and constantly enjoys teaching and being taught new things among kinksters. Her current fascinations are CBT, mummification, chastity, energy play, sissy training, and extreme erotic asphyxiation. She's has made the transition from Mundane to Mistress and wants to share that ongoing experience. Her hope is to show BDSM in a different light for those who are curious or confused about the lifestyle. Her main kink is normalizing kinky lifestyles across the board and thus she can often be found writing on her blog, chatting away on podcasts, teaching classes, demos, or presenting locally in the Washington, DC area, New York, and sometimes across the pond in Europe at events such with kinksters at Weekend Reunion, BESS, Dark Odyssey, TES, KinkFest, Beyond The Love, and more.

Artist and educator Coral Mallow joins Lee for a dive into art, consent of the viewer, and the bridge that curiosity offers into a world of possibility. Just because someone explains life or sexual potential we cannot understand it until we try, and together they examine affects art, life, and how we can expand the human landscape with the power of ALSO. Stories change lives, and so does the exploration of our own heart. .
