Dom Sub Devotion

In this profound and powerfully honest episode, Andrew is joined by Traver Boehm—author, speaker, and founder of the Uncivilized Men’s Movement. This raw and revealing conversation dives deep into the emotional and spiritual reality of being a man in today’s world.   Traver shares the personal story behind his movement, how heartbreak and disillusionment cracked him open, and why he’s devoted his life to helping men reclaim both their primal power and emotional truth. Together, Andrew and Traver explore men’s sensitivity, the cultural disbelief in men’s inner lives, and the loneliness and pain so many carry silently.   Traver also opens up about his experiences with darkness retreats—radical, solitary immersions into absolute darkness—and how they’ve initiated him into deeper self-understanding, ego death, and trust in his own soul’s call. He offers a powerful challenge to men: Dare to feel. Dare to be fully human.   This episode is a must-listen for any man who’s ever felt alone in his pain… and for anyone who’s ready to meet the courage that lives inside vulnerability.   ⸻   What You’ll Learn in This Episode:   • How Traver turned heartbreak into a mission to support men  • Why emotional sensitivity is a masculine strength, not a weakness  • The hidden epidemic of male emotional isolation—and how to break it  • Why the phrase “I’ve never said this out loud before” changes everything  • How to balance emotional expression with purpose, structure, and spine  • The truth about numbness, avoidance, and the cost of living half-alive  • What it’s like to spend 28 (and soon 49) days in total darkness—and what that journey reveals  • Why Traver believes something must break for a man to be reborn  • How to cultivate a human experience that’s raw, real, and relational  • Two sentences every man needs to hear: “I believe you. I believe in you.”   ⸻   Links & Resources:   • https://www.instagram.com/traverboehm  • The Uncivilized Nation  • Preorder Traver’s New Book: 28 Days in Darkness   • Listen to Traver’s Podcast: The Uncivilized Podcast        ~~~   Becoming a Dominant Man is Andrew's flagship course for Dominant Men.

This is a conversation I had on A Date With The Divine with Isabelle Stephan—and I knew immediately I needed to share it with all of you here on Dom Sub Devotion as a bonus episode. It was one of the most potent, grounded, and heartfelt conversations I’ve had on love, polarity, Dominance, and the deeper spiritual truths that live underneath our dynamics. I didn’t want you to miss it. In this episode, Isabelle and I explore:  • What it actually means to live in polarity in a long-term relationship  • How my wife Dawn and I transformed our marriage through embodying Dominance and surrender  • The emotional truth underneath a woman’s “too much” and a man’s “not enough”  • Why most men fear a woman’s full emotional range—and how to become the kind of man who can hold all of her without collapse  • What everyday masculine leadership looks like—from structure to sexuality to sensitivity  • Why feminine surrender doesn’t happen through force, but through deep trust in his strength  • The truth about polarity: it’s not something you try to “do,” it’s what naturally arises when you let go of what’s in the way  • And how all of this is not just about relationship—but about meeting God, not through light and ease, but through destruction, healing, and the fire of full embodiment This isn’t a theoretical conversation. It’s real, raw, and personal. I speak directly from my lived experience as a man, a Dominant, and a husband walking the path of total devotion and truth. I’m honored to bring this episode to you. May it move something in you the way it moved something in us. — Andrew     🎙 Originally aired on: A Date With The Divine with Isabelle Follow Isabelle on Instagram @Isabelle_a_stephan 🎧 Shared with love and gratitude on Dom Sub Devotion  📲 Follow me on Instagram @_infinitedevotion  Find out more about my work at https://infinitedevotion.com

Podcast Notes   Why I have tracked my submissive’s cycle for over 1700 straight days - Dom Sub Devotion Podcast For more details and background on this episode, along with some reflections questions, visit https://infinitedevotion.com/blog/episode-75 There are few things that I teach that are more impactful than what I share in this episode.  Tracking Dawn’s cycle, for over 1700 straight days now, has given me an understanding of her, and of women in general, in a way that I could have never imagined.  Not only has it helped me learn more about her and find a deeper acceptance for how she evolves throughout the month, the grace and patience that this understanding has helped me to have with and for her has also given her an entirely new depth of self acceptance.  And this self acceptance has contributed more to the depth of her trust and submission than probably any other thing.  Listen to this episode, men and women both. You will learn some powerful things about what makes a woman a woman, and just maybe, have a little more patience and compassion for her, or yourself, in the process.  ~~~ Becoming a Dominant Man is Andrew's flagship course for Dominant Men.

Episode 72: Why Dawn is pulling back from Dom Sub Devotion   Lots of tears in this episode. But make no mistake, this is a celebration.    A few weeks ago, I had a massive realization. I had still been living so much of my life as an absolute lie.    Sitting down with Sir over breakfast, I was feeling pretty agitated, and as he always does, he encouraged me to just open up and let it out.    And what I said next changed my life.    “I am not here to help people.”   I didn’t intend to say those words when I opened my mouth. But when they came out, my whole body breathed a sigh of relief. It was like I had finally spoken up for the biggest lie of all.    That I had to use my experiences to help other people in order to be a good person.    In that moment, I realized that I had gone through my whole life living for everyone else. Never just letting myself be good enough for myself, just as I am. Never able to just enjoy my own life for my sake.    It was always about someone else. Helping someone. Giving to someone. Sharing for someone.    And it became obvious pretty quickly that I couldn’t continue doing this podcast in the same way. Because while I absolutely love that my experiences have been helpful for so many of you, I’ve been so wrapped up in talking about how I got here that I haven’t really let myself just enjoy this life that I’m so fucking grateful to be living.    Every time I sit down and talk about how religion affected me, about how I used to show up, about all of the fears I’ve let go of, all of the pain I’ve overcome, how controlling and tense and stressed I used to be…   Those things are all getting dragged back out of the past and into the present. They’re still in control of my experience, because I’m constantly reflecting on them. I am not that woman anymore. I have come so fully into my body, my life, and my truth. And all of that stuff from my past needs to be left in the past.    I finally saw how deeply that was affecting all of those moments of my life outside of this podcast and business.   I’m here to live my own life, and living it is what I intend to do.    So this isn’t goodbye forever, but it is goodbye for now. Andrew will continue with the podcast, and it’ll continue to be great. He’ll keep everyone updated on our life, our dynamic, and how I’m doing. He’ll also be bringing on guests and diving even deeper into D/s dynamics.    And when you do see me again in the future, I’ll be bringing more of my true self.
