#019: Sex, Money, Power & the Pink Elephant You’re Not Supposed to Think About

This week we chase the current that runs through everything alive: Polarity.

The delicious ache of tension begging for release. The magnet that repels until it flips and slams together. The childhood fight that ends in tears and then inseparable play. The first-date silence that crackles louder than words.

We talk about how trying not to think about the pink elephant only makes it stomp louder. How suppressing desire (lust, money, power) doesn’t kill the hunger—it just feeds the shadow. How most Western “tantra” scenes skip the hard part—ethics, discipline, healthy boundaries—and wonder why things go sideways.

And we get personal: how that same polarity turned our early dates from guarded handshakes into bunk-bed breakthroughs, tent forts and all.

If you’re caught in burnout (too much tension, no release), numbness (too much release, no edge), or the endless grab for more, this is your reminder: the poles aren’t the problem. They’re the map.

Breathe. Feel your feet on the ground. You’ve just stepped to the edge where meaning is made.
