Helena is back on Sex, Drugs & Soul, going deeper into sexual energy, modern intimacy, feminine and masculine dynamics, BDSM, boundaries, and surrender.

Her perspective? Sexual energy doesn’t stay neatly contained in the bedroom. How connected, or disconnected, we are from desire can ripple into our relationships, work, leadership, creativity, and sense of self.

We get into…

— Why Helena believes there’s no such thing as truly “casual” sex

— Sexual energy, energetic boundaries, cord cutting, and clearing after relationships

— Why Helena says to “throw yourself a funeral” for what’s truly over

— Modern dating, privacy, and when someone has officially earned a spot on the Instagram grid

— Sexual dysregulation and how disconnection in the bedroom can show up in the boardroom

— Self-pleasure as a practice of self-connection rather than performance

— The difference between compromise, co-creation, and surrender in relationships

— Why judgment can kill desire and make true erotic intimacy impossible

— BDSM as negotiation, communication, vulnerability, and power exchange

— Why some highly successful men crave submission & why Helena sees surrender as potentially empowering rather than emasculating

— Staying sovereign while building something bigger than yourself with another person

— Fantasies, first-date kisses, emotional availability, attraction, and a particularly unhinged lightning round
