In this episode I had the honor of engaging in an intimate and transformative conversation with Nicole Daedone an artist and speaker whose work transforms lives (see full bio below).
Nicole and I delve deep into:
Power dysmorphia, women, self betrayal, determining the authenticity of being submissive, spirituality, releasing attachment, and how to be set free.
This conversation, and Nicole, left me feeling juicy, alive, and deeply connected to the flow of Eros. Nicole and I want you to know that feeling connected and in flow with another human in this way is possible when you are free, and we all have the capacity to be free.
I highly suggest following Nicole, and joining one of her Eros talks, on IG HERE
OR, binge her YouTube, like I have, HERE
We are so excited for you to be a part of this conversation. Thank you for joining.
Nicole Daedone is an artist and speaker whose work reimagines the boundaries of human connection, intimacy, and transformation. She studied Gender Semantics at SF State and was a feminist activist for many years. She created Orgasmic Meditation (OM), a structured, attention-training practice that harnesses the sexual impulse, combining arousal and meditation for profound healing and creative liberation that is currently being studied by the top researchers in peer reviewed neuroscience.
Her work extends beyond OM into transformative initiatives like the Prison Monastery, a revolutionary approach to incarceration adopted by a Level 4 prison in California and impacting over 50,000 incarcerated participants nationwide. Nicole’s guiding principle—“Can I love even this?”—drives her efforts to turn poison into medicine, providing the methods for transforming people, institutions, and systems into their highest potential.
Nicole has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal Style Section, San Francisco Chronicle, and more. She is the author of fifteen books and counting including The Eros Sutras Volumes 1-5, The Art of Addiction, Play: A Path to Genius, Erotic Justice: Making Social Change from Love and is a TEDx speaker whose talk has captivated millions.
