What if pleasure wasn’t the opposite of responsibility — but one of its foundations?

In this episode I’m joined by Tanya Griffin — entrepreneur, sexual wellness and harm-reduction educator, and flow-state practitioner — to explore the psychology of pleasure, altered states, and embodied leadership.

In this episode, we explore:

• Pleasure as a measure of freedom, not indulgence.
• Flow states in sex, embodiment, and longevity.
• Intention vs. compulsion in erotic and altered states.
• Conscious use of cannabis and psychoactives in sexuality.
• Shame reduction as harm reduction — in sex and substances.
