Ep 15 – Sex-Ed, Kinks, and Being Open-Minded: A Conversation with My Vanilla Mom

In this episode, I sit down with my mother, Angela, to explore her journey from growing up in 1960s Ireland to becoming an open-minded, supportive parent. She shares how her traditional upbringing shaped her worldview and how moving to England in her 20s introduced her to a more progressive perspective on sex, relationships, and individuality.  

We dive into the unique dynamics of our mother-daughter relationship, including how her openness and humor allowed me to embrace my kink identity and confidently pursue a career in the kink community. She also shares how she processed learning about my work as a dominatrix, her reactions to the stigma surrounding women’s autonomy, and her advice for parents on staying open-minded and supportive of their children’s authentic selves.

Whether you’re a parent, curious about the intersection of family and kink, or just here for the laughs, this episode is filled with heartfelt stories, genuine insights, and candid moments. Grab your headphones and join us for a conversation that’s as honest as it is heartwarming.
