Episode 56 - In this episode, I sit down with my friend Aubrey Aust, a relational psychology and philosophy researcher from NYU, to unpack the psychology behind BDSM, fantasy, and desire. We talk about how kink can become a space for healing, a “relational laboratory” for exploring trust, safety, and selfhood.

Aubrey and I go deep on Freud, daddy issues, jealousy, and why honesty about desire is non-negotiable. We explore how shame can block intimacy, what embodiment really feels like, and how the dynamics of dominance and submission mirror our earliest emotional patterns. Whether you’re a dom, sub, switch, or just curious about the psychology behind play, this conversation will have you thinking about kink in a whole new way.

Ep 01 - How I Became the Kink Consultant

Welcome to the first episode of The Kink Consultant! I’m excited to take you on a journey into the world of kink, BDSM, and sex positivity. In this episode, I share my story—starting with a childhood fascination with spanking that grew into a passion for kink. At 24, while working in finance by day, I answered a Craigslist ad for dominatrixes by night, and it changed my life. Balancing my Wall Street career with my secret life as a dominatrix was thrilling, but when both worlds collided, I had to make some tough choices. Eventually, I left the dungeon and followed a new path: becoming a sex and relationship coach. Now, as The Kink Consultant, I’m here to demystify kink, break down stigmas, and create an open, fun space for exploration. Join me, subscribe, leave a review, and keep on kinkin' on!
