In this episode, we sit down with Cat Orme and Joshua Rodriguez (Master Joshua), co-founders of The Kink Collective in East Harlem, NYC. With decades of combined experience in kink, education, and counseling, they explore how kink intersects with PTSD, alcoholism, sexuality, emotional healing, and energy exchange. Their philosophy — “People Before Kink” — emphasizes trust, consent, communication, and personal reflection as the foundation for meaningful play and conscious power dynamics.

After recording, I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in their East Harlem studio, where their leadership and commitment to safety were unmistakable. Cat brings therapeutic insight and a grounding presence, while Joshua’s intentional Dominant leadership creates a space where kink becomes a tool for self-discovery, healing, and deep community connection.

You can learn more about their work at kinkcollective.net, and follow them on Instagram @kink_collective.

Carl was born into war. When he was just a toddler, he often woke up to his mom’s panicking voice asking him, his siblings and his father to run to the bunker and hide. 

At the age of 12, he fled his home country heartbroken. 

These events always created questions in his mind & heart. Why is this happening to him? Why do people kill each other? Why do innocent families have to suffer the consequences?

To find answers to his pain, Carl went on a journey. He tried to find salvation in sports, romantic relationships, new personas, ambitious careers, & business start-ups. He also explored religion, psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, books, seminars, and spiritual gurus. He questioned everything, including these methods.

Despite his efforts, he couldn’t find a truly freeing approach. Each one had its benefits but was also complicated & binding. After years of assimilating their essence, he realized that the foundation of transformation was incredibly simple. 

Today, he shares it with other spiritual seekers. He shares how he applied it to go from confusion to clarity, from being medicated to free of medication, and from depression to lasting enthusiasm.

She tied herself with an extension cord to hold on to her life.
