The Conscious Dominance podcast was born from weekly conversations between two friends, Andrew & Eric.
Every week, we would connect and talk about the ways that our roles as Dominants in long term, loving Dominant/submissive relationships were calling us to higher integrity, and demanding the absolute best from each of us as men. And in those conversations, we realized how much other men might benefit from being let in on these conversations. So we started recording them for you.

We discuss the value of different therapy modalities in making us the best Dominants that we can be, and the profound impact of self-compassion. We also address the significance of sexual education, challenging deeply rooted beliefs to become better lovers.
Emphasizing the mind's role in sexuality, we advocate for energy play over technique. Additionally, we explore how men's health and grooming, dietary awareness, and leveraging outside expertise contribute to holistic growth, ultimately fostering self-agency and dominance.

Join Andrew and Eric in this thought-provoking episode of the Conscious Dominance Podcast as they explore the meaning and importance of the word Dominance within Dom-sub relationships.
They discuss the polarizing nature of the word 'dominance' and why they consciously choose to embrace it, distinguishing it from tyranny and highlighting its connection to responsibility. Delving into the three stages of masculinity from David Deida's 'The Way of the Superior Man,' they illustrate the journey from machismo to a balanced integration of heart and spine.
Through personal experiences and profound insights, Andrew and Eric argue for reclaiming a healthy expression of dominance that blends strength with open-heartedness, aiming to create a dominance that is sustainable over the long term.

In this unscripted podcast episode, Andrew and Eric explore various facets of personal growth, competence, and confidence within the context of their lives and relationships. The discussion covers topics such as the value and necessity of competence, problem-solving, and the dynamics of confidence between men and women. And how frankly, at times, these polarity based D/s dynamics just aren't fair. But they're not supposed to be fair. They're supposed to be intense, passionate, and exciting. And this conversation highlights the importance of persistence and the journey from incompetence to mastery as we find our way to something that's even better than fair. They also touch on how these concepts apply in interpersonal relationships, emphasizing the importance of clear communication, self-reliance, and the courageous pursuit of self-improvement.

In this episode, we discuss an often-overlooked aspect of relationships: understanding and honoring the feminine cycle. In our society, women are frequently expected to conform to a 24-hour cycle similar to that of men. This expectation often overlooks the profound biological and hormonal changes women undergo throughout their roughly 28-day cycle. This conversation is an eye-opener about the importance of recognizing and honoring these cycles, not just for the women in our lives but also for ourselves as their partners. Andrew began this journey in the spring of 2020 by tracking his partner Dawn's menstrual cycle. Initially, his goal was practical: to plan vacations and other significant events around her period. However, this practice evolved into a comprehensive understanding of her physical and emotional states throughout the month. This meticulous tracking provided insights far beyond the timing of her period, revealing patterns in her mood, energy levels, libido, and more. Andrew's tracking methods started simply but became increasingly sophisticated. He began by noting the first day of Dawn’s period and the length of her cycles. Over time, he added details about her mood, rating it on a scale from 0 to 10, and even her basal body temperature, which helped predict ovulation and other hormonal shifts. Understanding her cycle brought a new level of compassion and empathy into their relationship. For instance, Andrew now plans Dawn's workouts based on her cycle, ensuring they are intense during her high-energy phases and gentler during her low-energy phases. This consideration has allowed Dawn to be kinder to herself and accept her body's natural fluctuations, improving her self-esteem and body image. One of the pitfalls Andrew and other men often fall into is trying to fix or level out their partner’s natural hormonal fluctuations, which is counterproductive. Instead, the goal should be enhancing the acceptance of these natural changes, thus fostering a healthier relationship dynamic. Society often imposes a solar cycle lifestyle—structured around a 24-hour day—that doesn’t fit the natural lunar cycle of women. In this episode, we advocate for a paradigm shift in how we view and honor these cycles both in personal relationships and societal structures. Understanding the feminine cycle is not just about making life convenient; it’s about fostering deep compassion, empathy, and ultimately, a stronger relationship. By being situationally aware and conscious of the phases women go through, we can lead with empathy and create environments that honor their natural rhythms. Andrew’s journey into tracking Dawn's cycle was transformative for both of them, and these insights hold potential benefits for any relationship. It allows for better planning, compassionate interactions, and a deeper understanding of one another.

In this episode of the Conscious Dominance Podcast, hosts Andrew and Eric explore the concept of safety within dominant-submissive relationships.
They discuss the differences in primal fears between men and women, emphasizing the importance of a man's role in creating a safe environment for his partner.
The conversation delves into various aspects such as physical and emotional safety, the significance of context, and the impact of a man's behavior on his partner's sense of security. They also highlight the need for men to do their own inner work to lead and provide a space where their partners can feel free and safe.
The episode underscores that true safety within a relationship allows for deeper intimacy and trust, essential for the dynamics of dominant-submissive relationships.
The Conscious Dominance podcast was born from weekly conversations between two friends, Andrew & Eric.
Every week, we would connect and talk about the ways that our roles as Dominants in long term, loving Dominant/submissive relationships were calling us to higher integrity, and demanding the absolute best from each of us as men. And in those conversations, we realized how much other men might benefit from being let in on these conversations. So we started recording them for you.

To be truly conscious, and to allow space for deep intimacy in Dominance and submission, we need to be connected to both our hearts AND our balls.
If we're all balls and no heart, there's no love present, and she won't ever trust us.
If we're all heart and no balls, there's no strength present, and she won't ever respect us.
Conscious Dominance is about leading from a place of wholeness in ourselves, and our ability to be tuned into our submissive allows us not only to lead her well...it opens us up to be able to receive her love.
This episode is one you won't want to miss. It pulls together so much of how this approach to Dom/sub relationships makes things better for both Dominants and submissives.

In this episode of Conscious Dominance, Eric shares the story of his recent surfing accident. And in a very honest, raw, and vulnerable conversation, we look into the ways that our roles as Dominants in our D/s relationships requires a high level of trustworthiness out of us. And this goes far beyond the basics of trust. In order for our submissives to fully surrender into us, they need to feel that they can trust us on every level. Down to the ways that we preserve, take care of and value ourselves...because if we don't take care of ourselves, it also shows our lack of respect for her and the dynamic. She can't let go into us if she can't trust that we'll be there for her. A submissive woman NEEDS her Dominant, and we take care of ourselves in part because we want to be able to be there to provide and protect her. We also get into how we build trust by the way we show up and respond to challenges, and why it's challenging for Dominant men to ask for help. This is the deepest and most vulnerable conversation we've ever had, and we truly hope you enjoy it.

Why Dominant men need to be vulnerable - Conscious Dominance Episode 8
In this episode, Andrew & Eric discuss the necessity, and challenges, of vulnerability as we live lives of Conscious Dominance.
While we may think of vulnerability as weakness, we explore the truth of the fact that it takes immense strength to be vulnerable. And the way that this vulnerability helps us show up in a more grounded, present strength.
We also look at how we can get out of our heads, how our triggers show us our weaknesses, and the importance of being connected with a truth that is bigger than us, among SO many other things.
If you've struggled with how emotions and vulnerability interact with Dominance as a man, or understanding Dominant men, this episode will be perfect for you!

How do we approach Dominance while respecting the intelligence, capability, and competence of our submissive?
This is the question we unpack in this episode of Conscious Dominance.
A woman who craves submission is often also incredibly talented and skilled in her life. When we take a woman inside of our consciousness, leading her and allowing her to follow, what we do with all of this capability and competence is something that must be addressed.
Because on one hand, she has likely leaned on and relied on her ability to get her through her life. But on the other hand, for many women, they want nothing more than to be able to let go of this need to take care of themselves.
So how do we lead in relationship with a woman who CAN do so much, and how do we help her to let go of the things that might drain, exhaust, and empty her...no matter how competent she is at them?
