After last week’s conversation with my friend Christina (@solarfemininearts) about her pulling back from her work to fully drop into being a wife and mother, I realized it was time to share what’s been happening behind the scenes in my own marriage—and what’s evolved for us since Dawn pulled back from the podcast and Infinite Devotion a few months ago. 

This is the full update on our dynamic—what’s shifted, how it’s evolved, and why it’s never been hotter, deeper, or more alive than it is right now.

Dawn had a moment of truth at the beginning of the year where she knew—without a doubt—that she needed to step away from our business and this podcast. It didn’t make logical sense, and part of both of us resisted it. But I chose to lead us through it. And what it’s created in our lives, our marriage, and especially our D/s dynamic… is almost indescribable.

In this episode, I break down exactly how her surrender has deepened, how I’ve had to grow as her Dominant, and why I had to stop softening around her ego and start holding the standard without apology.

I also open up—publicly, for the first time—about how much our sexual dynamic has exploded. Kink, obedience, ownership, and submission are now more central to how we live. We haven’t shared much about the sexual and kink side of our dynamic for good reason, but avoiding that truth going forward would mean hiding the most alive and real parts of our relationship.

If you’ve followed us because of the emotional depth, the love, the realness—we’re still here for that. But we’re also done leaving out the erotic truth at the heart of it all. This is the life we’re living. And it’s time to let you in.

Inside This Episode, I Share: 

 • Why Dawn stepped away from Infinite Devotion—and what that made possible

 • How over-analyzing our relationship started killing our polarity

 • The exact shifts I made in my leadership to meet her deeper submission

 • How I stopped backing down when her resistance showed up

 • Why her resistance was often a mirror of my own hesitation

 • What it means to raise the standard instead of lower it

 • How kink and obedience have taken over our sex life—in the best way

 • Why I’m done hiding how erotic our marriage has become

 • And why the results of living this way are showing up everywhere: more love, more fun, more money, more freedom
