This topic means a lot of different things to me as a submissive, in my submission to my Sir, in my education goals as a Kink Aware Professional, for my business, and for my community. Since I started my Health and Life Coaching business, and probably even a little before that, I had dreams of helping people who are curious about the kink and BDSM life. I love everything about it and some days want to yell about it from the rooftops. I have been in the lifestyle for 7 years after ending a 20-year marriage, most of that without sex and intimacy, and trying to figure out who I am, what I want, what I don’t want, and what am I even interested in. My only knowledge about kink and BDSM was reading erotica and very minor porn. I was too busy raising kids to even think about those things. Sex, intimacy, sex education, pleasure, etc. were never discussed by my parents growing up so I didn’t have much reference, other than what my obligation was as a wife and mother. My friends were my sex education including learning about having a period, getting pregnant at 17, hormones, body changes, etc.
As I started learning about kink and BDSM, I wanted to learn everything…frenzy was crazy fun and scary. I was blessed with amazing mentors from both sides of the slash. I was able to experience my wants, needs, desires, and role in a safe environment. After Sir and I got together it was clear that we were both experienced and interested in learning and growing together as a D/s couple. A part of this education was purchasing Dom Sub Living’s Dom Sub Training, attending sex education classes at our local adult toy store and education facility, attending summits in the area of mental health and BDSM, purchasing tons of books, listening and following sex educators, podcasters, etc. I love education, especially around kink and BDSM. This is where I first interacted with Alesandra from Dom Sub Living. It was amazing to find such a complete and exciting amount of educational materials from a D/s couple.
Dom Sub Living is designed to help beginners and experienced kinksters explore BDSM more fully and help Doms and subs master their mindsets and create the lifestyle of their dreams.
I learned the following (list not inclusive) from Dom Sub Living:
Dom Sub Training (nail the basics, understanding true submission, become a bondage expert, discipline and punishments, how to find a partner, finally find your perfect partner, help your partner be more Dominant, Submissive, or Kinky, journaling, going from part-time to full-time, daily schedules and routines, how to stay in role when you are busy, sample scenes, creating an intense scene, dealing with relatives, coworkers and children, wax play, rope, flogging, shibari study, and so much more)

- 5 Things You Need to Know About Consensual Non-Consent
- Quick Start BDSM Bonus Bundle (key terms, overview of living the lifestyle, sample scenes, daily schedule, bondag3 tutorials,
- An amazing resource library, and
- Affiliate Marketing.
I think I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things I have learned about being submissive, being the best submissive, and living a D/s lifestyle from Dom Sub Living and other amazing kink educators. The information is quality education.
With Alesandra’s help, I was able to learn and grow with my Sir, as well as advance my knowledge as a submissive from a trusted source. I love learning and sharing with other submissives and joined a sub-group so I could attend munches and events and be with like-minded individuals.
And I want you to feel the same.

Achieving My Kink Goals

Here is my HUGE WIN – KINK GOAL, in April 2023, Alesandra invited me to be a speaker at an upcoming 5-day Dom Sub Dynamic Virtual Summit. I think my head exploded, my heart almost did as well. This was a major opportunity for me to share my story with a larger crowd of curious or experienced group of kinksters, share about my coaching business working as a Kink Aware Professional, and just express my gratitude for everything I have learned from Dom Sub Living.
The summit had 20+ amazing presenters and amazing bonuses if you purchased the All-Access Pass. The Summit was dedicated to helping Dominants and submissives improve their relationships and make BDSM a lifestyle. I am over the moon from being invited to be among other kink professionals and sex educators. I discussed my D/s mindset hurdles that I overcame, how I got started in kink, and shared the story of my journey.
