94: Kink as a healing and self-discovery tool with Faith Laux

 

What happens when you finally allow yourself to fully embrace your deepest desires?

In this deeply personal and raw episode, I talk with my friend and former client, Faith Laux. Faith is a somatic sex and relationship coach whose transformational work helps people reconnect with the wisdom, intuition, and magic of their bodies, empowering them to thrive sexually. 

Today, Faith and I dive into the layers of healing, yearning, and self-discovery through the lens of kink. After being diagnosed with cancer, Faith experienced a life-altering realization: there were parts of herself she had suppressed, particularly in the realm of desire.

This episode explores how acknowledging and pursuing Faith’s long-held yearning for kink became a powerful tool for healing—not only for herself but also within her marriage. 

We discuss the importance of owning your desires, the distinction between kink and sexuality, and how kink doesn’t always equate to sex. Whether you're familiar with kink or not, this conversation reveals how living fully aligned with your truth can unlock profound transformation and growth. 

This episode is about more than just kink; it’s about desire, healing, and being honest with yourself and your partner.
