OMG we made it. 100 episodes of this podcast! Wow, we can’t believe we have recorded one hundred episodes of this show. From a humble little project started by Cindra, to then having Luke as a guest on the show (who never left), we’ve come a long way.

We talk about some of our fave episodes, our most popular episodes and some of the epic guests we have had on the pod so far. You might like to flick back through the archives if you haven’t yet.

Then, we dive into some juicy questions asked by our previous podcast guests! So many thought provoking questions were asked, we ran out of time to answer them all. We’ll be answering them on upcoming episodes.

We spoke on communicating desires, open relating, divorce, relationships with exes, sexual fantasies and much more.

Shoutout to these previous guests for their awesome contributions to this episode, find them on Insta:

We bring back the amazing Priestess Vanessa for this episode, as we had so much to talk to her about the first time. If you haven’t yet, flick back and listen to episode #95 - this is the introduction episode to what we talk about on this one.

This episode, we go deeper into the Dominate and Submissive roles and how they can play out in life and relationships. We mainly talk about how to create polarity within your relationships and what that can look like, how you can use the tools from D&S relating, even if you’re not interested in the kinky side of it.

We discuss relationship agreements and how they are essential, for D&S relating and for all relationships in fact. Vanessa takes us through what these would look like and how you would go about creating them.

Of course we cover things like boundaries and consent and how to say no, as well as some kinky juicy stories and suggestions for how to play with the D&S energy in your day to day relating.

Vanessa gives us some great resource recommendations too - Movies and books she suggests for learning more about this stuff, so keep your ears peeled for that too.

Our Patreon platform is all about honouring our Patrons, those that support us and giving them what they want. This episode is For Patrons Only 😉

Once a month we release a juicy podcast episode for our Patrons, available only via patreon.com/thehotshit

This episode was inspired by a listener question - Would love to get some tips on initiating convos around exploring conscious kink/BDSM. How to make this exploration fun, funny and lighthearted?

Luke and I had so much fun producing this episode, sharing some of our favourite tips and tools around how to open conversations about needs and desires, how to create safety and how to honour each other’s truth even if it’s confronting.

These are conversations we have (which we share) and that we encourage our clients to have in our coaching programs...If you aren’t asking for what you want and getting expansion within your intimacy, what’s the point?!

Hope this episode inspires you to have these challenging, revealing and SEXY convos with your partner/s. We have recorded episodes around BDSM and Kink too in the past, so flick back to those if you need more guidance in these areas.

Patreon podcasts are accessible for all tiers, along with our weekly blog and so many other benefits. Come play in this expansive space - Choose your tier from as little as two coffees per month.

Thanks to all our Patrons for your support!

We were so excited to catch up with the radiant Effy Blue, all the way from Europe, who is a co- host of one of our fave podcasts, Curious Fox. Curious Fox mostly focuses on polyamorous and open relationships, however we find the subject matter Effy and her co-host speak on is relevant for all kinds of relating and we refer many of our clients to certain episodes.

Effy has such a lovely warm energy and we know you will resonate so much with what we speak about on this episode. Some of what we cover includes:

- Monogamy and marriage

- Polyamorous experience

- Communication styles and conflict

- Challenges of all relationships, sharing some of our personal experience with this

- Effect of the current world events on relationships

- Impact of the media on shaping the relationship paradigm

- Codependency

- Lessons we have all learnt from open relating




And so much more as always. We share our own experiences of late and Effy shares lots of juicy wisdom from recent podcast episodes and coaching with her clients.

A fun, entertaining and expansive episode which we were just so excited to present to you!

We really recommend getting on the Curious Fox podcast and listening to episode 73, it’s one of our faves. Find it on all the usual channels, and follow the podcast on Insta @wearecuriousfoxes and follow Effy @coacheffyblue

We are so proud to be having this conversation today with Anna, owner of Club Discreet 687 and Discreet Gentleman’s Club. This conversation we are hoping changes the way you think and view sex work and the adult industry! Anna is an absolute gem and her energy is contagious. The way she talks about running brothels and taking care of her employees is super inspiring.

So we jump into all aspects of the adult industry in this episode. What’s it like to run brothels, what kind of people work in these spaces, what the training and support is like (at least for Discreet employees), some of the misconceptions and myths about brothels and sex work and so much more! Anna gives us the behind the scenes look at what the adult industry is like and why she loves being in it so much, she has made a lifelong career out of it.

We were inspired, excited and proud to be having this conversation and to be sharing it with you! Personally, we’re looking forward to restrictions easing and us being able to go and do a club tour and start planning some epic events at 687 here in Newcastle! Go follow Anna and the team @clubdiscreet687 to see what they are up to and how you can get involved. You can also find the traditional brothel online discreet.net.au

Thanks to Anna for chatting to us and stay tuned for our involvement with the clubs. If you are a sex worker and are wanting some conscious career development, please do reach out to us as we are putting together some training specifically for the industry.

Super excited to present this episode to you, as it’s something we have been sinking our teeth into over the last few months! Priestess Vanessa joins us on the podcast to talk all things Dominant and Subordinate relationships.

Before you go running for the hills like AHHHH this is not for me, take a breath and keep listening. Vanessa is a wealth of knowledge on D&S relationships and shares some epic and engaging stories about her experiences and her work, you’ll want to lean in, trust us.

Priestess Vanessa has been working in the field of sexuality for over two decades and more recently, has felt called to direct her work towards the healing aspects of kink, BDSM and feminine submission.

This model allows room for triggers and unhealthy patterns to be witnessed and worked through. It encourages the use of ritual, sound, breath and emotion to be able to help the receiver to work through their struggle and reconnect with themselves in an empowered place of surrender rewriting the stories around their traumas/wounds to release fear and allow them to heal.

We get into this and so much more in this episode! The basics of a D&S relationship and how to start playing with these roles if you are interested, what this can bring into your world and the practicality of doing this at home.

We touch on kink and BDSM, our recent foray into this world and the dos and don’ts if you want to start digging into these realms.

Such a fun, potent and informative chat with Vanessa, we are going to have her on again soon to go a little deeper into this stuff. In the meantime, go and follow her at @yespriestess on Insta and see the links in her bio for more on what she does and how to work with her!

This was a really unique take on what we usually talk about on the show and we were so fascinated with this topic and know you will be too!

Our special guest on this episode is Nathalie Marie from Conscious Connections! Nat is the founder and creator of Conscious Connections - a place to find sensual healing touch, enjoy embodied erotic entertainment and feel deep conscious connection of course. She is also a bodyworker and sex positive pleasure advocate whom we loved talking to about all things intimacy.

But first, we have a bit of a catch up as we are in different locations for this recording. Luke shares a message that Cindra sent to him and we talk about the importance of solo time!

We are onboard with the retreats that Conscious Connections are offering which sound phenomenal by the way, we talk about this in length in this episode. Nat shares her personal story to finding empowered sex and pleasure and the obstacles that she and us have had to work through to be in the intimacy business.

Of course, communication is covered on this episode, as it is the gateway to great sex! We also chat about sexuality, identity, open relating and blocks to pleasure. It was an amazing conversation which we could have kept on going.

This episode is for ANYONE who is open to expanding their intimacy and deepening their pleasure. Highly recommend checking out @conscious_connections_au and consciousconnectionscollective.com.au - What Nat and the team are doing is groundbreaking and much needed right now!
