We’re joined by Alicia M. Walker and Arielle Kuperberg, authors of Bound by BDSM: Unexpected Lessons for Building a Happier Life. Their groundbreaking book dives into the ways BDSM can teach us about trust, communication, vulnerability, and joy — lessons that extend far beyond the dungeon.

We talk with Alicia and Arielle about what inspired their research, the surprising truths they uncovered, and why mainstream conversations about kink so often miss the bigger picture. You’ll hear how BDSM practices can foster deeper intimacy, improve relationships, and even reshape how we approach everyday life.

If you’ve ever wondered what kink can teach us about being human, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Kink isn’t just about play — it’s stress relief, identity, and connection. But what happens when life throws up walls and you can’t engage the way you want? In this episode, we talk about the realities of dry spells, why they happen, and the emotional toll they can take. We’ll bust the myths that make people feel “less kinky” when they can’t play, and share creative coping strategies to keep your dynamic alive during times of stress, illness, family obligations, money struggles, or burnout. Because kink isn’t a tally of scenes — it’s who you are.

Can a submissive say no to their Dominant and still be in service? Absolutely. In this episode, we’re challenging the outdated idea that submission means saying yes to everything. Instead, we explore how setting boundaries, speaking up, and honoring your own needs are essential parts of a healthy D/s dynamic.

Saying no isn’t disobedience—it’s a powerful act of self-awareness that builds trust, reinforces consent, and protects both partners from burnout and resentment. You’ll learn why submission isn’t about automatic obedience, but about making intentional, informed choices in service of the relationship.

We’ll also share examples and phrases you can use to say no with respect and clarity, along with reminders that you’re allowed to take care of yourself and be a devoted submissive.
