Sometimes, I stand at the intersection of history and personal narrative, feeling the weight of our collective past as it whispers to the present. In this episode, we're diving into the heart of post-war Austria, exploring the silent stories and untold legacies left in the wake of the nation's history with Nazism.

As my partner is elsewhere, I stay behind in Vienna, balancing my roles as a partner, protector, and an individual wrestling with societal biases. This isn't just any episode; it's a revelation of the dichotomy between public confession and private sorrow, highlighted by our approaching tenth anniversary together.

In This Episode:

• The silent narratives of Austria's past and its relationship with Nazism.
• An open conversation about the subtle racism and microaggressions experienced outside the familiarity of Vienna.
• The delicate ethics of master-slave relationships, advocating for emotional health within these complex dynamics.
• Reflections on coping with social anxiety and finding strength in community havens like The Crucible.

So, make yourself comfortable; this episode is a journey. Whether you're working through your own struggles or seeking a moment of connection, we're in this together. Let's dive in.

Producer's Note: Mo is off in parts unknown while I tend to her podcast houseplants. She'll be back soon, but until then, here's a great episode from just over a year ago!

The title says it all. Saddle up, students, we're going to answer some questions from someone who's been interested in peeking into the world of BDSM. This is a good jumping off point if you're interested in seeing what it's about.

Hello new peeps that heard Part 1 of our conversation on Dixie's podcast! 👋

As I said last time, you are in for a treat (but you already knew that after listening to part 1!). We're talking more about Craigslist Casual encounters—the freaky, the funny, and Dixie's fabulous "worst sex ever" story.

When the two of us get together, you know it's about to get rowdy.

Today I welcome one of my favorite people in the whole multiverse, the Prime Minister of Storytelling (I coined that), The Empress of Tea, the one and only, Dixie De La Tour.

As you'll see in this episode, she is quite the storyteller. In fact, that's her whole life—you can check out her work (and podcast) at bawdystorytelling.com.

On this episode, though, we talk about the wonderful, crazy world of Craigslist Casual Encounters (RIP). You'll hear about Dave the Ass Eater, 9/11, the Phive Page Phallus Portfolio, the "doctor bag", why Casual Encounters was good for women, the time I used a guy's card to extend my stay at a hotel (alone)....suffice it to say, this is a hell of an episode.

Ever been in a room where it feels like everyone's judging you, even when you're just being yourself? In this episode, I open up about the emotional turbulence that hit me after attending a leather contest over Labor Day weekend. While I've worn many titles—from Miss San Francisco Leather to International Miss Leather—I've always strived to remain authentic. But what happens when our authenticity is met with superficiality? Dive in as I, along with my Spouse Meister, navigate the stormy seas of a community we once called home.

In This Episode: 

• My emotional unease after a month-long hiatus and the backstory behind it.
• The glitz and glam of leather contests and the weight of the titles.
• My Spouse Meister's inspiration to dive into the Master Slave contest.
• Unpacking a past feud with Taino and how it cast a shadow over the recent event.
• Reliving past grievances: the unpaid airfare and a social media debacle.
• Navigating negative energies and feeling like outsiders in a community we love.
• The significance of "dressage" and why a genuine Master-Slave relationship goes beyond mere display.
• Reflecting on self-worth, authenticity, and the lessons from my leather mom, Vi.
• A rejuvenating retreat in upstate New York with Barbara Carellas.
• A shoutout to the Carter Johnson leather library and the need to document our histories.

Ever wondered how the worlds of spirituality, sexuality, and the corporate landscape might intertwine? Join us as we journey into the "Summer of Love" season!

In this invigorating episode, we delve into the profound, exploring Rebecca's transformative experiences intertwining spirituality and sexuality. As for me, I dive into the heartwarming tale of how I came to be known as the "Kink Doula", offering healing and sensation rediscovery, after an epiphany during an Urban Tantra event in London.

From drawing wisdom from kink and sexuality to pondering the impact of our love languages—both in personal relationships and the corporate world—our dialogue is both enlightening and relatable. Rebecca poses the soul-searching question, "Who are you being?", urging us to contemplate the essence of our beings beyond mere professions.

As we introspect on our professional journeys and personal growth, we cannot help but delve deep into the importance of genuine relationships and self-awareness.

Curious to learn more? You can connect with the insightful Rebecca via her websites rebeccalowrie.com and sexualalchemy.com or on social media as @rebeccalowrie.
