31. Improve Your Parenting and Emotional Intelligence Skills with Lessons from Tantra and Kink | Interview with Aviva, Pleasure Coach and Trauma Informed Facilitator

Surprised to hear the words BDSM and parenting in the same sentence? What skills can we learn from tantra and kink to make us better parents?

In this episode, Luciana interviews Aviva, a mother, pleasure coach and trauma-informed facilitator. Aviva shares her journey of integrating lessons from tantra and kink—such as containment, holding space, attunement, energy management, consent, negotiation, and aftercare—into her parenting style. She emphasizes the importance of being the 'captain of the ship' in the household, moving beyond performative parenting to authentic leadership and connection with children. The discussion explored how pleasure and play, when understood broadly (not just sexually), can be transformative for both parents and children, fostering deeper connection, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
