In this raw and real conversation, Hilary Burton opens up about her journey from living a "vanilla life" in an unfulfilling marriage to fully embracing her power as a pediatric therapist and professional dominatrix. For years, she kept her dominatrix work hidden, battling societal shame and the double standards that often target women stepping into their sexual power.
Hilary reflects on how embracing her true self has been key to her healing and purpose. She also shares a surprising side of her work, revealing how high-achieving, masculine clients find freedom in surrender, shedding the weight of constant decision-making.
This episode goes beyond stereotypes, touching on universal themes like breaking free from childhood conditioning, why women should support each other, and the importance of self-empowerment.
Ready to embrace your authentic self without apology?
This conversation might just be the permission slip you need.
This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity.
So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
