    Ep. 71 From Russia with Ropes: Talking Shibari with Anastasia (Voudou Ropes)

    Shibari didn’t start as liberation for either of us. It became one - slowly, painfully, honestly. In this episode with Anastasia (Voudou Ropes) we talk about: – learning Shibari as women in a male-dominated culture – the danger of intensity without attunement – how rope can either traumatize or transform – why some journeys need storms… and others need lakes No script. No performance. Just truth, rope, and lived experience. Anastasia is a Shibari artist, educator, and performer, and the founder of Voudou Ropes, a brand devoted to making rope art accessible, expressive, and deeply connective. 2026 October 8-12th beginners shibari + tantra retreat. https://www.voudouropes.com/shibari-retreat-luxe https://www.voudouropes.com/ https://www.instagram.com/voudou.ropes/ Rina is a shibari artist, tantric bodyworker, former Dominatrix, and extreme sports athlete, learner of ancient traditions and intrepid explorer of consciousness.

    Ep. 69 Why You Can’t Receive What You Want — and How To Change It, with Darshana Avila

    In this juicy and transformational episode, Rina sits down with Darshana Avila, Erotic Wholeness Guide, to explore the one skill most people never learn but desperately need: how to receive. Together, they dive into why so many women (and men) struggle to take in the very things they say they want—pleasure, connection, intimacy, desire, emotional safety—and how cultural conditioning, nervous system patterns, and unspoken fears silently block us from receiving the love and pleasure we crave. You’ll hear real examples, practical tools, and vulnerable stories about: – How people-pleasing kills desire – What resentment really reveals – Nervous system capacity & the body’s role in pleasure – How to ask for what you want without shame – How to communicate desires, boundaries, and kinks with clarity and love – Why telling the truth is the gateway to deeper intimacy This episode is an intimate map for anyone ready to open wider—to pleasure, to truth, to being seen, and to receiving fully. Perfect for listeners longing for more authentic relationships, deeper erotic fulfillment, or simply a more honest connection with themselves. Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for profound pleasure and power.  Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of erotic embodiment, trauma healing and self actualization. Darshana’s work has been featured on Netflix’s Sex, Love & goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts.

    Ep. 68 Develop a Superpower — and Become Magnetic!

    Most people try to be attractive through looks or confidence, but the real source of magnetism is developing a personal superpower — a skill or presence that allows you to connect, attune, and offer value to others from fullness, not neediness. In this episode, Rina explores how attunement, embodied skills, and conscious practices like touch, Shibari, energy work, and empathic listening can make you irresistible, deepen intimacy, and transform your relationships, community interactions, and love life.
