Season 2
51m | Jan 12, 2022Yaz Harris is a non-binary sex-worker, Middle Eastern queer who loves making people feel welcome. They developed a self-intimacy practice called YINTIMATE which uses movement and other practices that calm the nervous system enough to make space for play and pleasure. Yaz is an in dungeon pro-dominant as well as a queer community organizer.

In this episode, we dive into:
- Yaz shares their own personal journey with claiming queerness and gender expression
- How the pandemic catalyzed more authentic expression vs. Performative living
- The role that fashion can play in empowering gender expression
- We talk sex work, Yaz work as a dom & why it’s harmful to fixate on the empowering perspectives
- Finding joy in the morning and why so many of us struggle with waking up
- Shifting out of spiritual bypassing and into social awareness (whole approaches to spirituality)
- The power of community > personal responsibility
- Imposter syndrome and owning our nerves; letting go of perfectionism and the pressure to hide insecurity
