Welcome to the Dom Subliving Podcast, where you'll learn how to break free from the vanilla rut, unlock your true potential as dominant or submissive, and finally make BDSM a lifestyle. I'm your kinky guide, Alessandra. And wow, um, I can't believe it. It's almost 2024. A whole other year has passed. I don't know about you, but it seemed like it went by super fast, but also super slow at the same time. But I I can't believe another year is here, 2024. So whether you're brand new to me in my world or you're someone who's been following me for years on the blog, I'm going to tell you today some of the things that you can look forward to for next year because some things are changing, some things are staying the same, and we have a lot more planned too. So why don't I just get right in and dig right into it? So the first thing I'm going to talk about is the Dom Subliving podcast, what you're listening to right now, where you're at right now. So we launched this in October, both me and my Dom. My Dom helps me produce this, put it together. He's been amazing with it. So we launched it in October, and it's only been a few months, but it's just really took and off. Like we did not know it would really be this successful. Again, it's only been a couple months. And at the time of this recording, we have over 5,000 total downloads. So it's it's been a whirlwind. And so everyone, we've gotten so much feedback that everyone is just loving it. So rest assured that the podcast is here to stay. You don't have to worry about that. The the show is going to remain the same. It's going to continue to provide high value for you. Um, just because that's why I created it. I really wanted this to be um something that that serves you and that you can look forward to. Now, what's new and coming is I am planning to have some guests on the podcast and also have my Dom back on here. We did an interview, actually, me and him, I interviewed him. You can go back and listen to that. That's at DomSubliving.com slash zero zero seven. That was in the the seventh episode. You can check out my interview with him there. But yeah, so looking forward to um bringing more voices on. Um, but I'm also still going to release a new podcast episode every week. That's been a really good schedule for me. Um, and everyone has seemed like they liked that. So if you don't want to miss any episodes, make sure you subscribe if you haven't already, because we will be coming out with um newer and better episodes for 2024. Now, like I said, I've had the podcast just for a couple months, but I've had my blog at domsibliving.com. I've had that for, oh my gosh, over like five years. But I'm going to be adding something new in 2024 that I'm really excited about. And that is a YouTube channel, something that all of you have been asking for for a long time, and something that I've been saying has going to be here for a very long time, too. Um, I actually, this is a little confession. I've actually had a YouTube channel. I still have it. It I've had it since 2017. You can even check it out. Um, my username on there is at Dom Sub Living, so you can go um check it out. I'll even put it in the show notes. So I've had this channel for a very long time, but I have to warn you though, it is very, very cringe. There's only two very low budget videos on there. Um, it's something I just kind of threw up on there and put up, and but surprisingly, somehow, I have almost 3,000 subscribers on YouTube. So with these two very cringy videos, these very low budget videos, um, it still has 3,000 followers. So you can check it out. But for next year, we're super excited. We're going to revamp the channel, um, post some new videos regularly. Again, my Dom's going to be helping me. I'm going to be showing my face a lot more, um, and just having some really high educational content on there. Because I know a lot of people prefer prefer videos too. So we want to cater to everyone. But so definitely go subscribe to me on YouTube. Again, I'm at Dom Sub Living on there. And you can you can head there now after you listen to this episode. And like I said, check out all of the cringe. But yeah, um, if you subscribe, you'll be the first to know when new videos get released and and when they come out. Now, there's some other things I have planned with the whole Dom Sub Living company that I'm just really looking forward to. So the first one is something brand new. I've never done this, and it is a free four-day challenge. It's a free challenge to jumpstart your Dom Sub dynamic. I'm really looking forward to um running this challenge. It's going to include things like a free community that you can be a part of to get support and feedback. There's going to be daily trainings and action steps for you to complete. And also, this is really neat. There's going to be daily coaching where you can ask me all of your questions. And I'm so excited because this is going to be totally free. So you do not want to miss this. This is coming in 2024 and early 2024. So definitely get on my email list. If you're not already, you can sign up at domsubliving.com/slash sign up. And that way you're you won't miss out on this because it's, like I said, a free four-day event. We're just kind of getting really intensive on how to jumpstart your dynamics. So it's going to be a whole lot of fun. It's going to be like one big party. And then the next thing I'm really looking forward to is we are also bringing back the Dom Sub Dynamics Virtual Summit. So this was something I hosted last year. You can you can even check it out at Domsubdynamics.com. I'm going to have links for all these in the show notes. But what the virtual summit was was a chance to get all these expert BDSM coaches, instructors, kink educators. There were so many. I think there was like over 15 in like really big names. And we got them all together. They all did their own online training where you can get step-by-step information on different topics in the um BDSM niche. And it was just a whole lot of fun learning from all of these experts in the field. And it was all with the goal to help you become a better Dahmer sub and make BDSM a thrilling lifestyle. And I'm really excited because some of the speakers that were there last year will be coming back. But we're also going to be featuring a lot of news speakers too. So this is where I really, I really need your help. I'm going to ask for a big favor. So if you have a kink educator, a BDSM educator, someone you follow that you just really think would be a good fit, do me a favor. Send me a message on any of the social media platforms or send me an email. I'm Dom subliving on everything. And reach out to me and let me know who you would like to see at next year's virtual summit. And even better, if you want to gain brownie points, message that educator that you really like too and let them know that Alessandra from Dom Sub Living is looking for speakers for her next virtual summit. So I just really love showcasing different educators in this niche. And it's really hard to get the word out there, especially with all of the censorship that happens online. And I just really love supporting these other creators. And so this is a way to kind of like give back and just really showcase them. But again, I need your help knowing who you want to see come back, who you want to see new. So definitely shoot me a message, shoot your favorite educator a message too. But like I said, if you want to grab the replays from this year, you can go ahead and do that at domsubdynics.com. And then the other thing I know you all love, you really, really love this, like this just flies off the shelves whenever we we host it. We are going to have the world famous kink bundle again next year. So if you haven't heard what the kink bundle is, like maybe you've been living under a rock, but we get so many experts again to basically donate one of their courses or ebooks or trainings or memberships, like things that have like huge value. Like we've had like $300 courses in there from other educators, and they all put them together in this huge bundle. I think last year we had over 30 educators, and we put it all in this bundle for this like low, low price. Like seriously, it's like I think it works out to like a 95% discount. Like, there's no way you can get this stuff at this cheap of a price. And it is, again, it's not like filler content or anything. This is stuff that these educators sell on their own websites for, you know, sometimes hundreds of dollars that you can get at this huge discount. So, like I said, this year we had like over 30, 30 educators every year. It gets bigger and bigger when I put this on. And I have a personal goal to have 50 educators this year. So I'm really needing your help again. So give me a message of who you'd like to see in it. Or if you have an educator that you love, please, please, please message them and tell them that you want to see them in this kink bundle. And you don't want to miss this when it comes out. It's it's like a blink and you miss it thing. It is only available for a week. And that is because we again, like, like I said, these educators are selling these things on their websites. And so, because of the contract we have, the agreement we have, we're not allowed to offer it in the king kink bundle for like that long. We only get one week to give you this deal. So it's a blink and you miss a thing. So you do not want to miss this. Um, so we do it every year, but definitely get on our email list at domsubliving.com slash sign up because it is just huge. It's like ridiculous. It's like bonkers how you can get all of these high-end products for such a low, low price. It's it's a steal, basically. And then another thing I'm really excited about next year is just expanding our private community and our online courses because our courses have been hugely transformational for our students. We have at the time of this recording, over 8,000 students have taken our online courses. I mean, that that just blows me away. 8,000 students. That's that's crazy. So it's just been so neat to have a hand in helping people improve in the role, improve as a Domer sub and just making BDSM a real lifestyle for them. It's like we've been able to firsthand see so many people's relationships improve and progress, and it's just been such a beautiful thing. And so in 2024, we're going to continue to offer online courses and also have our private community and also do one-to-one mentoring and coaching inside our programs. And so we're really going all in with our community and our courses and just serving our students even more. And so, if you're curious about our courses, I'll just give you a preview of some of them. So, we have a course called Scene Creation Mastery that's all about creating thrilling BDSM scenes. It's kind of like this quick and dirty course to get you started with um scene creation and really maximizing how your your scenes are. And that one is actually our lowest price course. It's only $9. So if you just wanted to start off and see what our courses are like, that's definitely a great one that you can see. Um, we have a course on how to finally find your perfect partner because we know that a lot of our followers and listeners, there they don't yet have a partner, that they're single. So we do have a course that's all about how to find a DS partner. And it is, it has worked for hundreds of our students to finally find a partner that is legitimate and genuine, and even long-term relationships have resulted from this. And then we have another course on how to help your partner be more dominant, submissive, or kinky, because we know that's a real need too, that you may have a partner, but it's they're just not like 100% there yet. Like they need some coaxing or helping to really get on board and really into the lifestyle at the level you want. And we know that resentment is huge in relationships, and so that course is to really help you to help your partner and get them on board so that way you're both living the lifestyle and having a lot of fun doing it. And then we have our signature dom training course. So many people have taken this course, and this is our baby. It's really designed to just help you improve in your role as a Dom or sub and to really take your relationship to the next level and to make BDSM that thrilling lifestyle that you want and get out of the vanilla rat. So we're really excited to continue to offer these courses. And again, we're really doubling down on our private community too, and offering one-to-one coaching and mentoring with that. And so we're just we're really, really excited to keep offering these. So if any of that sounds good to you, you can check out all of our courses that are available right now at domsubliv.com slash courses. And again, I'll have that link in the show notes. So, yeah, that's what's happening next year and what you can look forward to. Um, not a whole lot, like I said, is changing. We're we're just improving things, revamping things, adding some things like the YouTube channel, but it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm really excited for 2024. But next week here on the podcast, we're gonna do things a little different. So we kind of talked today about what's to come, but in our next episode, I'm going to be sharing the good, the bad, and ugly of my 2023. I'm going to be sharing a lot of personal stuff, probably oversharing a lot of stuff that I'm probably going to regret saying. But yeah, make sure to look for that episode when it comes out because it has been a wild year, both for me personally and in my relationship, and even here at Dom Sub Living. So stay tuned for that because I am going to be sharing a lot of more cringe stuff and just things that no one has been aware of that has been going on behind the scenes. I usually tend to be very private, but I knew that once I started having a podcast and just talking to you one-on-one like this, that I knew I'd be sharing more of my personal life. And so definitely check out that episode because it's it's gonna be really interesting, a lot of fun. I hope you enjoyed this episode and hopefully you're excited for next year too and all of the big changes we're making.
