Episode 1: Navigating Your Own Taboo Limits

Where’s the line between fear and fun? Fantasy and trauma? Exploration and harm? In this raw, thoughtful, and unfiltered conversation, Rachel sits down with friend and kink-creative powerhouse Georgina to explore the ever-shifting line between fun, fear, fantasy, and “too much.”

From emotional masochism to suspension, breath play, objectification, 24/7 dynamics, and the psychological minefield of shame and desire—we unpack what it means to walk toward your edges consciously and consensually.

This episode is a practical, deeply personal look into how to discover our boundaries, hold space for the uncomfortable, and recover when something doesn't go as planned.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I turned on because I’m healing—or because I’m reenacting something?”—this one’s for you.

What We Talk About

  • How fantasy writing, journaling, and scene debriefing can build self-awareness

  • How to use “How would you feel if…” scenarios to safely explore new ideas

  • The four-tiered safe word system Georgina uses (and why it's genius)

  • Submissive guilt, Dominant shame, and the internal work behind power exchange

  • Red flags, trauma triggers, and how to course-correct in the middle of a scene

  • Shame—where it comes from, and how to rewrite the script

  • What to do when a scene goes wrong—and how to come back from it stronger

  • The difference between psychological discomfort that leads to growth vs. damage

  • Emotional masochism and the art of wanting what hurts

Big Takeaways

  • “Too much” is personal—and you get to define it

  • Trust and understanding between partners are key in kink and BDSM.

  • How to talk about risk without killing the mood

  • Why relying on your gut isn’t enough—you need reflection, communication, and contingency plans

  • Fun is the filter: If it stops being fun, it’s time to pause or walk away

  • Knowing your body and emotions is your responsibility

  • Both tops and bottoms carry risk—physical, emotional, social, psychological

  • Reflection and repair are essential tools in growth-oriented kink

  • You’re not “too much” for wanting what you want—just take your time getting there

Listen If You’re Into...

  • Kink that deepens self-awareness

  • Reflecting on (or avoiding) Sub/Dom space, drop, and emotional fallout

  • Playing at your edges while staying rooted in consent

  • Taboo fantasies and the messy truths behind them

  • Integrating therapy and kink

  • BDSM that doesn’t pretend to be clean or easy

Georgina on the mic

“You should never play with someone you aren’t ready to forgive—because when you’re playing with real risk, forgiveness is part of the responsibility.”
