In this revealing episode, Eric and Rachael expose the invisible contracts we unknowingly sign with society—unconscious agreements that dictate how much we're allowed to receive, feel good, and take up space. When guilt becomes your constant companion and you can't accept help without calculating how to pay it back, they reveal the programming that's been extracting from you while keeping you small. They explore how women especially become unconscious subs to systems that don't serve them—people-pleasing their way through life while managing everyone else's emotions and carrying invisible loads.

From Rachael's journey of learning to receive without guilt to Eric's recognition of his own unconscious contracts around status and success, they show how these invisible agreements keep us trapped in cycles of depletion and obligation. They reveal why guilt often signals where you've given your power away to programming that doesn't consider your wellbeing, how breaking these contracts isn't selfish but generous, and why conscious dominance means helping your partner recognize where they're unconsciously submissive to systems that diminish them.

About Conscious Dominance

The Conscious Dominance podcast was born from weekly conversations between two friends, Andrew & Eric.

Every week, we would connect and talk about the ways that our roles as Dominants in long term, loving Dominant/submissive relationships were calling us to higher integrity, and demanding the absolute best from each of us as men. And in those conversations, we realized how much other men might benefit from being let in on these conversations. So we started recording them for you.
