Becoming A Dominatrix: I’m Sharing My Private Coaching Session with Dominance Trainer Michael Ellsberg | Ep 12
from It's Not What You Think with Celinne Da Costa · host Celinne Da Costa
Dominance Trainer, Michael Ellsberg and I talk all things KINK as we (platonically) explore the world of Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism, and Masochism (BDSM.) In this 2-part series you, my friend, get a front-row seat as I open myself into the space of BDSM. We get personal as I lean into my sensual, Dominatrix side. And before you ask - yes, that is a thing. My desire for sharing this more vulnerable side of myself is to normalize these types of conversations. I want to: ⚫ Peel back the curtain of what's really going on behind the BDSM scenes (spoiler alert: It's Not What You Think!) ⚫ Be empowered, and shed any past conditioning behind closed doors! ⚫ Normalize exploring our deepest yearnings and desires. So strap on... your strap-on, pull out that sexy black leather outfit and prepare yourself to be pushed to the edge as Michael and I explore the fun, sensual, and exciting ways of BDSM. EPISODE INSIGHTS: What BDSM actually means The difference between being Dominant and Submissive Bringing our unconscious desires to the conscious Becoming a better entrepreneur and coach by being a Dominatrix Creating your Dominatrix or Submissive persona I invite you to join me for a behind-the-scenes look into the world of who I Be, as I navigate the realms of the material and spiritual worlds as a successful CEO.
