This conversation explores overcoming anxieties around beauty routines to achieving self-acceptance and celebrating personal beauty. We highlight the balance between health and beauty, the meditative and ritualistic aspects of self-care, and the significance of presence and authenticity. Practical advice for both men and women is shared, emphasizing self-acceptance, reducing social media influence, and creating space for joy in beauty practices. The episode provides a comprehensive look at how empathy, mutual respect, and intentional actions foster beauty and abundance within our D/s relationship.   ~~~~~ Social Links: Instagram: https://instagram.com/_infinitedevotion YouTube: https://instagram.com/@infinitedevotion Facebook: https://facebook.com/domsubdevotion Andrew & Dawn are full time coaches and educators, working to support individuals and couples in building healthy, loving Dom/sub relationships.

We dissect this concept, emphasizing the critical role of consent and safe words in power exchange dynamics, but also the nuances of how those things play out when we start delving into these deeply trusting dynamics. Speaking of nuance…the discussion explores the nuances of authority, leadership, and the emotional and trust-based exchanges required in such relationships. We also address how power dynamics differ in kink-focused relationships compared to loving, lifelong DS marriages. By sharing our experiences, we aim to illustrate the complexities of power exchange, highlighting the importance of empathy, vulnerability, and dealing with fear and emotional reactions in fostering a healthy and intimate D/s marriage. ~~~~~ Social Links: Instagram: https://instagram.com/_infinitedevotion YouTube: https://instagram.com/@infinitedevotion Facebook: https://facebook.com/domsubdevotion Andrew & Dawn are full time coaches and educators, working to support individuals and couples in building healthy, loving Dom/sub relationships.

In this episode of the Dom Sub Devotion podcast, we dive deep into the intricate dynamics of 'topping from the bottom' in a 24/7 DS marriage. We explore how this concept, where the submissive tries to control the Dominant using her submission as the means of control, aligns with the submissive’s use of voice and expression of feelings within a power exchange relationship. We discuss the challenges of balancing submission and the need to speak up, the importance of emotional safety, and the inner emotional journeys both the dominant and the submissive experience in pursuit of authentic submission, where she feels safe enough to let go and not feel the need to control. Join us as we unpack the transformative potential of overcoming control patterns and building deeper trust and love in a committed DS relationship. ~~~~~~~~ Get Dawn's Manifesto: The Self Respecting Submissive Woman.

In this episode, we dive into how to balance enjoying life's moments while navigating through the deep challenges that come with doing the work to overcome our past programming and conditioning. This deep emotional work is important, but it can take over our lives if we let it. It can become another version of the same thing we’re trying to escape. We share personal experiences on maintaining fun, discussing how emotional chaos and personal growth have affected our relationship dynamics. Listen in, and you will learn about embracing reality without fear, the importance of physical connection, and the nuances of dominant and submissive roles in creating a harmonious life together. Join us as we discuss surrender, leadership, and the journey of mutual growth and understanding in a power exchange dynamic. ~~~~~ Get Dawn's Manifesto: The Self Respecting Submissive Woman.
