In this episode, I speak with Faith Laux, a somatic sex and relationship coach, about the taboo and misconceptions around kink, normalizing conversations about sexuality, and pleasure as a healing modality. 

Think you know what kink is? How about your erotic language? Faith beautifully defines the spectrum of kink, its powers to heal and powers to pleasure. We discuss the relationship between embracing kink and doing shadow work. She then shares the most foundational piece of having great sex. Consent, safety, and communication truly play an unnegotiable role in ecstatic experiences. 

Faith explains what good kink and good parenting have in common and an exercise for teaching our children to deeply understand the importance of consent. She then explains that the ability to give and receive pleasure is ultimately about accessing a flow state. She blends kink and pleasure into a healing modality which she offers through her coaching and Kink Curious workshop.
