We mentioned something in last week’s episode on people-pleasing — about needing to talk to JB about a stressor Kayla tried to handle alone — and it got us thinking about the things we don’t always want to share in D/s: our worries, fears, stresses, and burdens. So let’s talk about it.

In this episode:

The Kinkery is having a sale — it ends Friday, October 28! Use code TWOYEARS to save 10 percent!
What we mean by burdens and stresses
Why you might find it difficult to share – people pleasing, past experiences, the need to appear “strong,” not sure it’s safe, don’t want to be a “burden”
Expectation management for what you think should/may happen
The types of things you share will differ based on the type of relationship you have
Our experience with sharing burdens with each other
