Free gift: 7 Tips for a rock-solid D/s Dynamic - visit https://infinitedevotion.com/7-tips This episode coincides with the release of our newest self-study course: Structuring Your D/s Dynamic. In Structuring your D/s Dynamic, we walk you through the same step-by-step process that we use to write our contract, rules, rituals, and create the structure that has allowed our Dom/sub relationship to become such a powerful and intimate connection. In this episode we delve into strategies for setting up an effective and enduring Dominant-submissive relationship. Specifically, how to structure things like rules, rituals, contracts, and more, to support loving power exchange that works in your real life, over the long term. This episode is dedicated to sharing valuable tips and strategies for both newcomers and those looking to reset their dynamics. We discuss the importance of having the dominant lead the structure, the necessity of starting at a realistic pace, why setting up rituals and rules should come last, and the critical role of vulnerability and deep conversation. We also share stories and thoughts about handling conflicts, setting up communication plans, and maintaining a fun, exciting atmosphere within the relationship. Tune in to gain insights on creating a dynamic that not only functions well but also stands the test of time.

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.

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.

It’s time for another Q&A episode! In this one, we go into some of the realities, challenges, and rewards of living in a 24/7 D/s marriage with our answers to lots of our listeners’ questions. We had some of the most fascinating and thought provoking questions with this episode, like: How does committing to each other not become self abandonment? What does physical appearance have to do with Dom/sub dynamics? Does Andrew allow Dawn to drive? Is it the Dominant’s fault if the submissive cheats? Does Andrew ever feel the need to let go and not be the one to make a decision? Any suggestions for what to say to a submissive with a praise kink? And lots of discussion about things like topping from the bottom, over consuming information for submissive, and how submission changes over time, and at different points in Dawn’s cycle. If you’re a part of a D/s couple and want to know more about the reality of living in these dynamics as a part of everyday life, or you desire this for yourself in a future relationship, you’ll LOVE this episode.

Episode 45: Infinite Devotion - Why we have chosen a permanent commitment to each other   In this episode of Dom Sub Devotion, we discuss the profound impact of the permanent, lifelong commitment we have made to each other. We explore how this “all in” approach has fostered safety, freedom, and a deeper connection…all while making it possible for each of us to be on our individual journey of self discovery.   We share personal reflections from each of our first failed marriages, and what we learned from being the ones to leave those relationships that has helped us each grow.   And we discuss the vulnerability and fears associated with making this kind of commitment.   This episode is filled with tears and deep vulnerability from both of us, and we share it with you as an example of why we believe that commitment has even more of a place in today’s world than ever before. And it ends with a very special, unplanned public declaration of this permanence of our love and commitment to each other, shared with all of you as witnesses to this promise.   It’s why we named our business Infinite Devotion. ~~~~~~~~~~     Get Dawn's Manifesto: The Self Respecting Submissive Woman.

Episode 44: Navigating Needs and Wants in a Dom/Sub Relationship   Join us in this episode of the Dom Sub Devotion podcast as we explore the intimate and important topic of how we handle responding to each other's needs and wants within a 24/7 DS marriage. We discuss the hierarchy of needs that places the submissive's needs first, the dominant's needs second (and why it MUST be this way), the dominant's wants third, and the submissive's wants last, and why this hierarchy helped at the beginning of our dynamic, but why we've also evolved to a more nuanced and open way of addressing this topic in our dynamic. The conversation covers the psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of fulfilling needs and desires, the challenges faced by both partners, and the importance of mutual support and trust. We offer practical insights on how the dominant can lead effectively without ending up just pleasing his submissive, and how the submissive can open up to receive. This episode offers valuable lessons for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of power exchange dynamics. ~~~~~~~~~~ Get Dawn's Manifesto: The Self Respecting Submissive Woman.
