What happens when submission becomes a source of power?
In this episode, I speak with Hazel: a 25 year old rope switch and erotic writer - about the transformative power of BDSM, shadow work, and dark feminine desire.

The psychological impact of chronic pain and how BDSM reframed it
What it means to be collared, owned, and deeply seen in a D/s dynamic
The role of shadow work and erotic ritual in her journey
