The Benefits of Aftercare in BDSM - March 5, 2025
By Leann Herron, BDSM & Kink Practitioner and Educator
Let’s address something super important in the BDSM world—aftercare. Whether you are an experienced participant or new to the scene, understanding and implementing aftercare is essential for fostering strong, respectful, and positive relationships.
What is Aftercare?
Aftercare refers to the process of attending to the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of all participants after a BDSM scene has concluded. It’s a period where both the dominant and the submissive can decompress, reconnect, and ensure that everyone feels safe, cared for, and understood. Aftercare isn’t just for people who participate in BDSM, everyone can benefit from this ritual. The main purpose of aftercare is to ensure your partner can transition back into the real world from a blissful headspace after BDSM play.
Why is Aftercare Important?
1. Emotional Well-being
2. Physical Recovery
3. Strengthening Relationships
4. Psychological Safety
Aftercare is more than merely a follow-up; it is an essential component of the BDSM experience, ensuring that all participants feel respected, understood, and cared for. Implementing effective aftercare practices can significantly enhance trust and emotional connection, leading to more fulfilling and enjoyable future scenes.
Prioritizing aftercare in your BDSM practices is a thoughtful way to demonstrate love, respect, and consideration for both you and your partners.

Shamelessly Living the Kinky Life of Your Dreams - November 16, 2024
By Leann Herron, BDSM & Kink Practitioner and Educator
In a world where individuality is often celebrated yet quietly judged, embracing your true self – kinks and all – can feel daunting. But here’s the secret: the power to live authentically, boldly, and shamelessly is yours. Exploring and enjoying a kinky lifestyle is not just about pleasure; it’s about self-expression, connection, and liberation. Here is how you can begin to explore and celebrate the kinky side of your dream life:
1. Embrace Self-Awareness Without Shame
2. Educate Yourself and Others
3. Build Consent-Driven Connections
4. Let Go of Judgment—From Yourself and Others
5. Celebrate Your Journey
6. Advocate for Kink Positivity
Living Without an Apology
Living shamelessly means showing up for yourself every day. It’s about letting go of societal expectations and crafting a life where your desires are honored, your boundaries respected, and your individuality celebrated.
The kinky life of your dreams is within reach—it just takes courage, community, and a commitment to self-love. So, dive in. Explore the edges of your desires and live boldly.
After all, there’s nothing more liberating than being unapologetically you.

Boosting Brain Health: Strategies to Enhance Cognitive Function and Mitigate Alzheimer's Risks
Guest article from Finding Resilience with Leann
January 23, 2025
Alzheimer’s, a progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks the brain’s nerve cells, is an irreversible condition that takes a toll on patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and loved ones. It is a leading cause of death among older adults, and about 1 in 3 seniors die from Alzheimer’s or another dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.
Taking proactive steps toward maintaining brain health is a vital aspect of overall well-being. As people age, cognitive decline and diseases like Alzheimer’s become significant concerns, but there are several lifestyle changes and practices that can help boost cognitive health and potentially reduce the risk of such conditions. According to the 2024 Lancet Commission report on dementia prevention, intervention, and care, 45% of dementia cases may be preventable by addressing modifiable risk factors.

I first connected with Leann Herron through her Thriving Women's Circle. New to Albuquerque and just looking to meet people, I had no idea where saying yes to this event would lead...
Leann has a way of making you feel like an old friend. Not only did I get the best rundown of the highlights of Albuquerque and a guided meditation, but I also got an enthusiastic yes to her coming to my own workshop and an invitation to a local arts fair.
As a passionate supporter of small businesses, Leann has already done so much for my own business. I've been featured on her Happiness On Tap podcast in the episode Unlocking the Power of Movement, as well as the accompanying blog, Why A High Pain Tolerance Actually Makes You Suffer More Pain, and she even got me a booth next to hers for a Trunk-Or-Treat event where I offered free scoliosis screens for kids.
It is now my pleasure to feature Leann on my website as a trusted community resource because we could all do with building more resilience. Dr. Julia Niwinski, PT, DPT, Founder of Ascension Physio.

Leann is an awesome coach in my community, and I'm so glad she was willing to write a guest post for me! If you've read my story, you know that I took a drastic jump. That would not have been possible without hiring a career coach. I still talk to my coach regularly as I navigate life as a business owner. Read her story and consider hiring a career coach if you can resonate with either of our stories. I can help you find room in the budget for those services. Without further ado, here's Leann!
