Dominance Reclaimed: Conscious Power in Relationships

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.



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.
