In this episode, we navigate the intricate dynamics of a BDSM slave, viewing their journey through the lens of the magician. Including the importance of openness to training and how critical growth and reflection are in order for a slave to be successful.Join me as we unravel the "Safety Officer" concept within, a guardian that protects and potentially obstructs our desires.

From the struggles faced by slaves to the nuanced experiences of Masters, we explore the layers of shame that shape our identities.
