Based on last month's episode, a listener sent in a question regarding balancing a dynamic between a Caregiver and a Service Sub. This episode also covers some of the links between religious trauma and kink, caregiver burnout, and tips for Subs on being specific about the type of care they would like to negotiate for.

Many of of my TikTok viewers enjoy and follow my content for my  POV Caregiver Domme headspace videos, so I receive numerous questions or interest in the topic of negotiating for and receiving care. Often, people are surprised that caregiver headspace was helpful for them. While this video is within the context of Kink/power exchange dynamics, the 4 fundamentals I go over for negotiating for enthusiastic care can also apply to other social dynamics as well.   In this episode we cover questions regarding how to find Caregiver Dom/mes, how to negotiate for care, and feeling like a burden to caregivers, as well as covering viewer questions regarding sex work, and how it can impact relationship with significant others.

We're back with another interview episode featuring ThatChrisWilson and FiercePufferFish from TikTok to highlight some relevant topics regarding religious trauma, oppressive social systems, and the physical impact trauma can have on your voice. We begin the episode talking about how being neurodivergent can impact your experience within oppressive social systems, and then we also discuss for our audience strategies they can use to set boundaries with family, friends, or coworkers when cutting someone off completely is not an option. We also cover some of the indoctrination tactics used by religious cult organizations to to reinforce systems of power such as "Cry Nights".  

This was a fantastic discussion and I myself learned some fantastic, new information that I myself, as I'm sure the audience will as well, found to be incredibly useful.

Leaving a strict, Fundamentalist family environment can be super scary and lonely! It can also have you feeling stuck or frozen in place, unsure where the next safe direction is to go. So your "local" online rebellious Pastor's Kid is gonna talk about the psychological processes and conditioning walls that are often socialized into us from childhood onward intended to keep us on the straight and narrow, even when that path gets a little too narrow to realistically be healthy, with particular focus on the concept of "clinician's bias." 

The topic is also going to pertain to the social stigma faced by the Kink, Witch/Pagan and Sex Worker Communities, and the emotional fear and shame walls so many of us hit well into adulthood when we begin to consider opening those "temptation doors." 

This is a great episode to tune into for answering foundational questions for our resident "faith deconstructors" and Shadow Workers such as:  "Where do I start when trying to confront the biases I was raised with such as purity culture or spiritual warfare?"

A special "Thank You" to the newest House of Quartz Patreon members and to @PinEmUp (Twitch/TikTok) for the new custom Twitch badges!

Answering some questions about how trauma may intersect with hypersexuality, and what trauma response research is now showing us about high frequency, high risk sexual behavior. We also cover subject matter pertaining to how cognitive bias in activism can hurt the ethical "accountant" community and how recent TOS proposed changes and their recall with OnlyFans impacted sex workers. 

This episode we'll be diving into the impact socialization of Christian values can have on childhood cognitive development, and long-term consequences to identity and sense of self into adulthood. This is a great episode to tune into for those who are in a process of deconstruction in adulthood and have been struggling with establishing a sense of self after being raised to "die to self in Christ". There will also be a featured resource for those looking for tools identifying types of unethical religious persuasion and unsafe spiritual groups.

This episode we're going to be going into some of my background as not just a content creator, but also as a *spicy* content creator.   We'll be talking about how I got started with "accountancy" through OnlyFans, including cosplay, networking, and the actual lived experience of making pay-to-view NSFW entertainment. We'll also be talking some religious deconstruction and tackling the stigma content creators face when making spicy content, and addressing myths and questions with psychology such as:  

- does being a spicy content creator reduce your attractiveness to potential love interests or make you "used up"?  

- Does making spicy content hurt you spiritually? 

- Are all SW's just victims coping with terrible economic circumstances or hyper-sexual in reaction to trauma?

Since I've started to talk more openly about "accountancy", religious trauma, psychology, and being a content creator, alot of my viewers have been encouraging me to start releasing content as a Podcast! So for our first episode, let's get right into some of the heavier, more in-depth side of religious de-construction and of making "spicy content"(T.W. mental health, religious trauma). You'll get to hear some behind the scenes of content creation, as well as discussions regarding ethics and spirituality, and the experience of working through behavioral conditioning as an adult and how it can affect interpersonal relationships. 

(please note: the Youtube vid I reported was eventually taken down by the time this episode was released).
