Jaclyn Proper Season 1 Episode 19

In this episode, we’re diving into the energetics of submission and exploring what it means to be a good submissive in BDSM. Together, we’ll challenge societal misconceptions about submission, revealing it as an act of trust, strength, and vulnerability—not weakness.

We’ll unpack the difference between conscious and unconscious submission, showing how submission can be a powerful form of shadow work. 

We’ll also talk about navigating Dom/sub dynamics through clear communication, self-awareness, and trust, while avoiding common pitfalls like codependency or shame spirals. Whether you’re sub-curious, a seasoned submissive, or just starting to explore BDSM dynamics, this episode is here to guide you toward conscious, empowered submission.
