Interview with a Sub: When Submission Has Meaning

In this episode, I explore the psychology of submission. Not as weakness or pathology, but as selective, embodied surrender. Through a short interview with a man who submits only to women he experiences as truly “superior,” we unpack why submission feels empty when it’s disconnected from meaning, and deeply fulfilling when it’s aligned with safety, presence, and discernment. This is a conversation about desire, power, nervous-system trust, and what happens when surrender is chosen rather than compulsive.
