Hello Fellow Humans! On this episode we sat down with the captivating Sophia Domina for an in-depth, raw conversation about kink, religion, and empowerment. We dove headfirst into topics some might find shocking—like the juxtaposition of butt plugs and Bibles—and explored the complex ways sexuality and spirituality can intersect.

Sophia shared her journey as a dominatrix, revealing how BDSM can be a liberating force for both her and her clients. We talked about religious guilt, sexual freedom, and how embracing your desires can actually lead to personal growth and self-discovery. Did you know that 1 in 6 Americans has dabbled in BDSM? That statistic alone shows how far we've come in normalizing kink, but there’s still a long way to go in shedding shame, especially when it comes to sexuality and religion.

**Key Takeaways**: 1. BDSM can be an empowering practice, helping people reclaim control and confront societal shame. 2. There’s often a strong connection between religious guilt and the exploration of sexuality. 3. Setting boundaries and clear communication are crucial in any sexual relationship, especially in kink. 4. Embracing your authentic self—kinks and all—can lead to deeper emotional and personal growth.
