In this episode, Liv Pavlov, dakini, tantric guide, and sensual alchemist, returns for a third round to explore tantric bodywork. We dive into what it means to be a dakini, how trauma and desire manifest in the body, and how presence, breath, and pleasure can become a form of medicine.

Liv shares her four-step sensual medicine therapy process, how to expand your capacity to feel, and the truth about the body’s innate wisdom to heal through sound, movement, and conscious touch.

Ever felt like you’re too much? Too emotional, too intense, too sensitive for this world that keeps telling you to “get over it”? What if your sensitivity is actually your superpower?

In this conversation with Todd Smith, we discuss what it’s like to feel everything so deeply and how to transform that sensitivity into strength. We explore routines that keep you grounded, what it truly means to take care of yourself, and how to stop losing yourself in the name of love or approval.

This episode is for the feelers, the deep thinkers, and the ones who are learning that being sensitive doesn’t make you weak.

A little soulful Sunday, featuring my girl Veronica Kelly, is coming out a day early in case you want to hop into her free event, 'Finally Breaking Free,' which starts on October 13th!

What happens when you start choosing and feeding faith over fear?

In this heart-opening episode, I sit down with my soul sister Veronica Kelly, a Self-Love and Freedom Master Coach, to explore what it means to trust divine timing, heal your relationship with your body, and walk through the fire (literally) with grace.

“My relationship is the most important aspect of my life. Everything overflows from that. It is the most tangible way of communing with God & experiencing heaven on earth.” #goals

Some of my favorite quotes from this episode: "Where there's horniness, there's healing..." & "Vulnerability is the gateway to intimacy."

Justin Gottlieb, a sexual freedom coach and tantric facilitator, joins this week for a deep dive into fantasies, tantra, and sexual liberation.

We explore...

• What is Tantra, really? Justin’s take, why it’s not just about sex, and how to apply to everyday life
• Healing through desire: How fantasies can open deeper pathways of self-understanding & unlock deeper intimacy, connection, and healing
• The role of vulnerability and why it deepens connection
• Why fantasies aren't random, what they may reveal, & what is possible by exploring them
• The difference between keeping fantasies in the mind vs. exploring them in reality
• How to talk about fantasies with your partner without blame or shame
• Why all events are emotionally neutral, until we assign meaning
• Why jealousy is an invitation instead of an enemy & embracing the full spectrum of emotions
• The truth about taboo fantasies
• Creating a safe space for exploration & fantasy fulfillment
• Justin’s formula for a fully-lived life: Healing → Exploration → Mastery

Whether you're tantra-curious, exploring your edges, or simply love honest conversations about desire, this episode will leave you inspired, informed, and maybe a little turned on. 😉

Tantric Daddy Take 2! Dennis Hull returns for an unfiltered conversation on conscious masculinity, emotional availability, and the power of slowing down.

We talk about...

• The emotional toll of hyper-independence
• Finding a rhythm between doing and being
• The shadow side of polarity & performance
• Rest as an act of rebellion in hustle culture
• Holding space without trying to fix or rescue
• Discomfort as a path to deeper pleasure
• The attraction to the unavailable
• Dennis’s transition into stewarding the Naked Soul Society, how he navigates leadership, & what it means to offer presence as a form of protection.

This episode is a permission slip to take your hands off the wheel, honor your emotions, and trust your own inner timing. It's also an honest glimpse into the kind of masculinity that doesn’t dominate but protects, witnesses, and honors.

“Your reality is a result of your nervous system and how you see life. Let’s shift that and be the doms of our lives.” - Kimi

This conversation with Kimi Inch, The Creatrix of Erotic Leadership™, is one I’ve been dreaming about for over a year. Kimi is a renowned expert with 20+ years of experience in the realm of intimacy, conscious kink, and unlocking your body’s untapped erotic energy. Featured on prestigious platforms such as The Oprah Winfrey Network, SXSW, Princeton University, and Nightline, Kimi’s goal as a pro-Domme, Somatic Therapist, and Sex-Positive Edu-tainer is to provide a safe and pleasure-filled space for exploring parts of ourselves that we rarely dare to look at.

It’s been a heavy week, both individually and collectively, and after we wrapped, she thanked me for my vulnerability and said, “The world doesn’t need more smart… the world needs more heart.”

I invite you to explore, be open to what is possible, and press play to discover how conscious kink might weave more heart into your life, and thus, consequently, ripple into the lives of others.
