Maartje Hensen: Exploring Queer Fluidity, Self-Expression & Destigmatizing Kink Culture
Today’s guest is Maartje Hensen (they/she) — an Amsterdam-based queer traveler, photographer, and author of The Pride Atlas. Soon-to-be coach and full-time storyteller, Maartje is known for their vibrant, fairytale-like imagery that captures the magic of queer joy and exploration. They’re embracing a new era, retiring the “girl boss” and leaning into “girl moss” — because, at the end of the day, we’re BEings, not doings.
In this episode, Maartje opens up about:
✅ Nonbinary identity and queerness beyond the binary
✅ Queer fluidity and resisting societal constructs
✅ Exploring kink culture and destigmatizing BDSM
✅ Self-expression, joy, and living authentically as a queer creator
🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple & all major platforms
