The Swinging Palm Trees Podcast
Hi there! My name is Akín, and thanks for tuning in.
On the podcast I chat with diverse guests from all backgrounds, and they talk about their lived experiences & stories, and share the words, quotes or sayings that have shaped their mindsets. With all the stories that are shared, there is also the underlying theme of mental health and wellbeing, and in many instances, also discussing heritage, culture and their own unique individual outlook to life
Also, despite the serious tone of certain issues and themes discussed, a light-hearted approach is also injected into the conversations which also displays the resilience of the guests and their humour, despite the circumstance.
I hope you find the conversations educational and enriching to your wellbeing.
Keep Rising & Thriving, Aṣẹ!

*Warning: This episode contains themes of Adult content.*
On today's episode I'm in conversation with writer & audio storyteller of Erotic literature, Ophelia Paine. Ophelia discusses her forms of chronicles that explore themes of desire and intimacy; why she is a strong advocate of consent and body positivity. We also talk about her new book 'StoryTime with Ophelia: Stories for Grown-Ups', why she believes that adults should be able to indulge in Stories for Adults; the different tropes within eroticism; psychology and mental health within the space, and the strong encouraging community that she belongs to. The conversation also looks at issues of AI and creativity; questions of pushing boundaries and... Jason Voorhees???
Ophelia Paine is a Creative writer and also uses audio formats specialising in immersive, voice-led narrative experiences of SFW and NSFW audio scripts. Her book can be bought here:
