What does it mean to make an impact - on bodies systems, and culture?

In this episode, Aimee is joined by the brilliant and bold Steph Zapata, a sexual health educator, anti-colonial organizer, and the visionary behind SLAM, a groundbreaking conference centering sex, liberation, and movement work.

We dive into the layered world of impact play - from the physical sensations to the emotional and political power of consensual exchange. Steph shared how her work in sexuality and social justice intertwines, how pleasure can be radical, and why healing doesn't have to be soft to be sacred.

Whether you're in to the sting of the paddle or the spark of revolution - this conversation will leave a mark.

A must-listen for kink lovers, educators, and change makers. From sensation to systems change, this episode hits hard - in the best way.
