#072—UNDERPROMISE + OVERDELIVER: THE DISCIPLINE OF REALITY - S6 E12

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 12:00:00 -0500

In this season finale, Eric reframes a familiar business phrase—underpromise and overdeliver—as the secret to trust, polarity, leadership, and lasting desire.

He reveals how living from illusion—of money, capacity, timing, or strength—breeds burnout and distrust, and reminds us that fantasy has its place in Art and Eros, not in leadership or integrity.

Through stories of his own overpromising, he exposes that true masculine leadership is born in humility, not hype.

He calls those animating in the masculine pole to create safety through consistency, to turn restraint into arousal, and to make discipline feel erotic by staying rooted in reality, delaying gratification, and making their word matter.

And he calls those animating in the feminine pole to trust the truth in their bodies, stop softening reality for men, and start demanding the discipline of what is.

This episode is an invitation to live in alignment with reality—to build a life that feels as good as it looks and turns you both on because it’s true.

#071—TANTRUM TRUTH BOMBS—WHY THE FEMININE MUST BRING IT AND THE MASCULINE MUST FEEL IT - S6 E11

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 12:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Eric explores one of the most common and misunderstood moments in intimate relationships: what to do when she stops being polite and shares what she's long muzzled inside herself.

He offers that a woman's emotional storm—her tears, rage, and unfiltered truth—is not dysfunction but devotion in disguise. It's her way of saying, "I trust you enough to stop performing."

Eric walks through a recent moment with Rachael where she erupted and breaks down exactly what made this tantrum different from her previous polite requests.

He then offers a step-by-step guide for men on how to receive her immensity without shutting down, and nudges for women on how to bring their full truth through the body instead of managing it away.

This is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how transparent honesty, when held with presence, creates the kind of love that doesn't just survive intensity—it requires it.

#069—CONNECT BEFORE YOU CORRECT - S6 E9

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 12:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Eric reveals the sequence that makes leadership land—first with yourself, then with her.

He teaches how to regulate your body before you speak, touch without agenda, and turn self-compassion into disciplined strength.

Through personal stories and step-by-step guidance, he shows how connecting before correcting transforms control into care and reactivity into mastery.

This is the art of reclaiming authority without force—how to lead your woman, your kids, and yourself from a grounded nervous system, not a triggered one.

Because connection is the soil every correction grows from—and when you root your leadership there, it becomes irresistible.

#066—DESIRE WITHOUT SHAME - S6 E6

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 12:00:00 -0500

This episode dives into a foundation of masculine power: desire. Not the compulsive, disconnected wanting that drains both partners, but the conscious claiming of what you want—spoken with heart, timing, and attunement. Eric shares how repression leads to collapse, why unspoken or disconnected desire kills the moment, and how practicing desire with awareness can transform both intimacy and trust.

#064—SHE'S NOT YOUR GOOGLE - S6 E4

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0500

This episode dives into another hidden killer of polarity: unconscious outsourcing of mental load. Eric shares how deferring responsibility to Rachael once inverted their polarity, and how reclaiming the “backstage” details of life restored trust and intimacy. You’ll learn why the little things matter, how to inventory your life like a job site, and why true hosting requires leading—not leaning.

#062—BLEED BEFORE YOU LEAD - S6 E2

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0500

This episode explores the art of taking feedback—the kind that stings, exposes weak spots, and most men try to avoid. Through a real story of being called out in relationship, it reveals why feedback feels threatening to the nervous system, how defensiveness erodes intimacy and leadership, and how discomfort can be transformed into fuel for growth instead of a trigger for collapse.

#061—BROKE, BROKEN, AND STILL IN CHARGE - S6 E1

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 11:00:00 -0500

In our first episode of Season Six, I take you inside one of the most common traps men face: waiting until they “earn it” to lead. Whether it’s money, fitness, confidence, or status, many of us believe leadership comes after achievement. But the truth is, leadership begins now. I share my own story of excuses, injuries, financial struggles, and the danger of letting a relationship slip into depolarization—and the six practices that pulled me out. This episode is a nudge towards reclaiming worth and presence from ANY starting point.

About DSRX

DSRX PODCAST is a living exploration of conscious relating—where devotion, service, intimacy, and leadership meet in practice.

Originally launched as Conscious Dominance, the show began as a candid conversation between two friends navigating leadership in love. Over time, it has expanded into something larger: a home for stories, tools, and reflections on polarity, presence, and the art of relational growth with consciousness at the center.

Hosted by Eric of Aerosha, DSRX dives into the real-time practice of building relationships that thrive on depth instead of default.

These episodes are not theory. They are lived insights—drawn from Eric’s own life, his work with clients, and the crucible of committed partnership with his bride, Rachael.

Each week you’ll find tactical tools and honest stories about the challenges of leadership, the dynamics of polarity, and the necessity of presence—widening the aperture into intimacy, artistry, and the many paradoxes of relating.

This podcast is for men who want to live with unyielding self-trust. For couples ready to refine their polarity and deepen intimacy. And for anyone committed to making love a conscious practice instead of an unconscious pattern.

If you’re ready to reimagine what leadership and love can look like, DSRX offers a clear path: awareness, presence, devotion, and the courage to practice these things in real life.

#060—GROWTH NEEDS COMPANY - S5 E12

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 16:00:00 -0500

In this week's episode of CONSCIOUS DOMINANCE, Eric tackles why most men fail at real transformation—they quit right before the breakthrough happens. He reveals a hard truth: adults don't change in isolation, and comfort is the enemy of growth and power. Drawing from his work with men's groups, recovery circles, and intimate partnerships, Eric explains why we need at least one other person who believes in us to create lasting change. He breaks down the four stages of competence and shows why most men get stuck at stage two, where growth feels like failure and triggers the ego. The key insight? Your discomfort is data, not defeat, and being incompetent is a necessary step before becoming competent.

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.

About Eric

Eric's work as a coach, astrologer, and modern day mystic supports men in their embodiment and building their deep inner strength. You can find more about Eric's work through the Elemental Arts Initiative at https://elementalartsinitiative.com .

And together with his long term partner and submissive Rachael runs Aerosha, teaching men and women to heal, sustain, and integrate themselves in sustainable and lasting ways. Aerosha can be found at https://aerosha.com.

#059—INVISIBLE CONTRACTS DESTROY INTIMACY: IS GUILT RUNNING YOUR RELATIONSHIP? - S5 E11 - w/ Rachael Dunville

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 16:00:00 -0500

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.

#058—TRIGGER TO TURN-ON -S5 E10 - w/ Rachael Dunville

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 16:00:00 -0500

**The audio’s not perfect on this one—we had a tech gremlin in the mix. But the conversation is fire, so we’re releasing it raw—aligned with the DSRX ethos of showing up real over shiny.**

In this raw episode, Eric and Rachael tackle what most couples desperately avoid: being triggered at the same time. When your relationship becomes the mirror you didn't ask for and discomfort feels constant, they reveal why this might actually mean your relationship is working perfectly. They explore the sacred friction of conscious partnership—where growth doesn't always feel good, triggers become teachers, and staying connected through the mess becomes an art form.

From Rachael learning to be "bratty" and emotionally messy to Eric discovering that masculine presence means being affected by your partner's storms while staying centered anyway, they show how relationships become laboratories for transformation rather than comfort zones. They reveal why trying to soothe each other's triggers prevents growth, how "trusting the trigger to teach" creates unshakeable devotion, and why the friction IS the intimacy. If you're ready to stop performing relationship and start practicing it—messy, alive, and fully human—this episode shows you how conscious dominance transforms triggers into the foundation of deeper love.

#057—RESPECT THE CRAFT - RELATIONAL ARTISTRY - S5 E9

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 16:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Eric explores conscious dominance as an art form that transcends traditional masculine energy and control-based leadership. He reveals why conscious masculinity requires thinking like an artist rather than an engineer, embracing mystery and relational volatility as raw material for authentic leadership and spiritual growth. Eric breaks down the difference between old-paradigm dominance that seeks to control feminine energy, versus conscious dominance that creates space for your partner's full expression while maintaining masculine presence and emotional regulation.

He gets practical about masculine development and relationship mastery—how to hold space for emotional complexity without being reactive, why curiosity trumps control in relationship dynamics, and how conscious communication creates atmosphere rather than just managing outcomes. From dealing with feminine storm energy to understanding that relationship transformation happens through reverence for the unknown, Eric explores how masculine spirituality and emotional intelligence work together in conscious relationships. This is about becoming the artist of your relational experience, using vulnerability and emotional awareness to create intimate connection and relationship empowerment through conscious partnership and spiritual masculinity.

#056—BREAKING THE SILENCE - CHOOSING CONSCIOUS DISCOMFORT (PART 2 OF 2) - S5 E8 - w/ Rachael Dunville

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 15:30:00 -0500

In this episode, Eric and Rachael explore what happens after the silence is broken in relationship dynamics. When someone finally speaks their truth about emotional burden and invisible labor, the real question becomes: what will you do with it? They break down the difference between taking someone's relationship pain away versus taking it on, and why one builds intimate connection while the other keeps couples stuck in the same patterns of avoiding discomfort.

Eric and Rachael get practical about the craft of conscious discomfort—how to choose your pain and reframe it as fuel instead of burden, why resistance creates suffering while feeling creates connection in partnership dynamics. From domestic responsibility like carrying groceries to emotional caretaking when your partner is overwhelmed, they explore masculine leadership that begins after awareness, the energy behind your effort, and why loving the work matters more than just doing it. They share the connection between relationship stagnation and invisible labor, plus how transforming struggle through conscious dominance creates relationship maturity when you become the one who notices without being asked.

#055—BEHIND THE SMILE - THE COST OF SILENCE (PART 1 OF 2) - S5 E7 - w/ Rachael Dunville

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 11:45:00 -0500

In this powerful episode of Conscious Dominance, Eric invites Rachael to dive deeper into their insights on pain and how mindful presence can transform it into fuel for growth and creativity. They explore how men and women in masculine and feminine poles handle discomfort differently within intentional relationships.

Rachael reveals the invisible emotional and logistical labor women often carry and shares her journey of learning to use her authentic voice instead of performing "fine." The conversation explores David Deida's relationship stages, moving from self-interest to empathy within conscious relationships. Eric discusses how taking on a woman's pain becomes fuel for masculine transformation, while Rachael explains the discomfort of receiving care and voicing truth without apology.

Drawing from Brene Brown's work on empathy, this episode offers couples practical insights to transform hidden pain into honest intimacy through conscious effort and presence.

#054—THE CRAFT OF CONSCIOUS DOMINANCE W/ ILDIKO CSAMAY - S5 E6

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 16:00:00 -0500

In this compelling interview from “The Sensual Underground Podcast,” Ildiko Csamay sits down with Eric to ask him to dive deep into the philosophy and practice of conscious dominance, the DSRX relationship model, and the beautiful paradoxes inherent in power dynamics and committed relationships. Originally aired as part of her "Dominant Men" series, this powerful interview showcases Ildiko's skillful exploration of conscious masculinity and leadership with depth and curiosity.

Under Ildiko's thoughtful questioning, Eric shares his personal journey from mainstream BDSM into developing a more nuanced approach that honors both dominance and the full spectrum of feminine energy, creating space for growth, vulnerability, and authentic connection. Throughout the episode, Ildiko expertly hosts and guides Eric through explorations of how conscious dominance differs from reactive control, the importance of situational awareness in leadership, and how true polarity creates freedom rather than limitation. Ildiko leads them through discussions about the craft of hosting experiences, the role of devotion and service in relationships, and how embracing paradox—including moments of uncertainty and "retrograde" phases—can lead to deeper intimacy and personal evolution.

This episode offers profound insights for anyone interested in conscious relationship dynamics, authentic masculinity, and the transformative power of intentional power exchange.

#053—THE PAIN PARADOX - BEFRIEND HER PAIN TO DEEPEN DEVOTION - S5 E5

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 16:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Conscious Dominance, Eric explains how most men unconsciously seek women as refuge from suffering, while women are conditioned to hide their pain to meet these expectations. Exploring the fundamental principle that masculine leadership and intimate connection are built on our capacity to navigate pain rather than avoid it, Eric reframes pain as a teacher and gateway to deeper relationship dynamics,

Eric emphasizes understanding feminine energy cycles and menstrual cycle awareness as essential relationship communication skills, encouraging men to embrace masculine responsibility by holding space for their partner's natural rhythms rather than expecting constant availability. Through mindful relationships, couples can transform pain from something that creates suffering into a portal for relationship healing, deeper polarity, and authentic intimacy.

#052—FINDING YOUR CERTAINTY BETWEEN STIMULUS AND RESPONSE - S5 E4

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 16:00:00 -0500

In this transformative episode, Eric dismantles the misunderstood concept of certainty - revealing it's not arrogance or control, but your unshakeable capacity to choose your response in any moment. Drawing from Viktor Frankl's profound wisdom about the space between stimulus and response, Eric explores how true certainty becomes your anchor when external circumstances crumble.

Eric reveals why hesitation equals failure, how to lead with embodied presence even when you lack all the answers, and the crucial difference between public certainty and private processing. Through raw stories of leadership under pressure - from construction sites to intimate relationship challenges - he demonstrates how to alchemize any difficult moment into growth.

Moving beyond traditional dominance and submission dynamics, they explore how genuine intimacy flourishes not through rigid roles, but through cycles of devotion, service, rest, and conscious repair.

Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions, astrology, and their lived experience, Eric and Rachael reveal how apparent setbacks and "retrograde" moments aren't obstacles to overcome, but essential medicine for deepening connection.

In this revealing episode of Conscious Dominance, Eric explores the nuanced difference between momentary "choking" and complete "collapse" in relationships, particularly within DS dynamics. Eric draws a powerful distinction between the inevitable moments when we energetically "choke" and the deeper pattern of full emotional collapse that can follow. Through vulnerable personal examples and client stories, Eric demonstrates how these momentary interruptions of presence become the foundation for growth when handled with consciousness. The most profound trust and erotic connection often emerge not from perfect performance, but from our ability to return to presence after briefly losing it.

#049—LEARN TO SAY NO - S5 E1

Tue, 13 May 2025 16:00:00 -0500

Kicking off Season 5, Eric reveals the counterintuitive first step to masculine leadership and relationship dynamics: mastering the art of saying "no" to yourself through self-discipline. Challenging conventional wisdom, he explains that before you can authentically practice conscious relationships and dominance, you must first develop unwavering self-mastery by intentionally abstaining from pleasures and distractions – the foundation of inner dominance. Eric provides tactical guidance on building this crucial skill through intentional restraint, spiritual discipline, and facing uncomfortable emotions head-on. Whether you're seeking a conscious framework to transform your relationships or simply strengthen your emotional resilience through self-control, this episode offers a provocative glimpse into how true dominance begins with the power of no and personal growth.

#047—HOLDING HER, WITHOUT HOLDING HER BACK - S4 E11

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 16:00:00 -0500

In this thought-provoking episode of Conscious Dominance, Eric explores the concept of "embracing the suck" within dominant/submissive relationships, introducing his Dynamic Sexual Relationship Expansion (DSRX) methodology. He challenges traditional DS dynamics by advocating for a container that allows feminine expression and expansion rather than control or suppression. Eric discusses how true dominance requires masculine ego death while encouraging authentic feminine voice. The episode culminates with eight powerful reflection questions that invite listeners to examine their own relationship patterns:

Where do I feel the urge to control rather than host?
When triggered, can I see this as an opportunity for ego death and growth?
How might I be suppressing my own truth or encouraging my partner to suppress her truth or their truth?
What pattern of self silencing and self betrayal do I recognize in myself or my partner?
How can I create a container that allows for expansion rather than restriction?
Where do I need to grow up to hold space for my partner's full expression?
Am I willing to feel like hell sometimes as a part of this growth process?
How can I get the tools to hold myself and alchemize my hell into love?

Honoring the Feminine Cycle: Insights for Dominant Men

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 09:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we discuss an often-overlooked aspect of relationships: understanding and honoring the feminine cycle. In our society, women are frequently expected to conform to a 24-hour cycle similar to that of men. This expectation often overlooks the profound biological and hormonal changes women undergo throughout their roughly 28-day cycle. This conversation is an eye-opener about the importance of recognizing and honoring these cycles, not just for the women in our lives but also for ourselves as their partners. Andrew began this journey in the spring of 2020 by tracking his partner Dawn's menstrual cycle. Initially, his goal was practical: to plan vacations and other significant events around her period. However, this practice evolved into a comprehensive understanding of her physical and emotional states throughout the month. This meticulous tracking provided insights far beyond the timing of her period, revealing patterns in her mood, energy levels, libido, and more. Andrew's tracking methods started simply but became increasingly sophisticated. He began by noting the first day of Dawn’s period and the length of her cycles. Over time, he added details about her mood, rating it on a scale from 0 to 10, and even her basal body temperature, which helped predict ovulation and other hormonal shifts. Understanding her cycle brought a new level of compassion and empathy into their relationship. For instance, Andrew now plans Dawn's workouts based on her cycle, ensuring they are intense during her high-energy phases and gentler during her low-energy phases. This consideration has allowed Dawn to be kinder to herself and accept her body's natural fluctuations, improving her self-esteem and body image. One of the pitfalls Andrew and other men often fall into is trying to fix or level out their partner’s natural hormonal fluctuations, which is counterproductive. Instead, the goal should be enhancing the acceptance of these natural changes, thus fostering a healthier relationship dynamic. Society often imposes a solar cycle lifestyle—structured around a 24-hour day—that doesn’t fit the natural lunar cycle of women. In this episode, we advocate for a paradigm shift in how we view and honor these cycles both in personal relationships and societal structures. Understanding the feminine cycle is not just about making life convenient; it’s about fostering deep compassion, empathy, and ultimately, a stronger relationship. By being situationally aware and conscious of the phases women go through, we can lead with empathy and create environments that honor their natural rhythms. Andrew’s journey into tracking Dawn's cycle was transformative for both of them, and these insights hold potential benefits for any relationship. It allows for better planning, compassionate interactions, and a deeper understanding of one another.

Sensitivity: The Most Important Trait in Dominance -

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 09:00:00 -0500

To be truly conscious, and to allow space for deep intimacy in Dominance and submission, we need to be connected to both our hearts AND our balls.

If we're all balls and no heart, there's no love present, and she won't ever trust us.

If we're all heart and no balls, there's no strength present, and she won't ever respect us.

Conscious Dominance is about leading from a place of wholeness in ourselves, and our ability to be tuned into our submissive allows us not only to lead her well...it opens us up to be able to receive her love.

This episode is one you won't want to miss. It pulls together so much of how this approach to Dom/sub relationships makes things better for both Dominants and submissives.

How to be Trustworthy as a Dominant Man

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 09:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Conscious Dominance, Eric shares the story of his recent surfing accident. And in a very honest, raw, and vulnerable conversation, we look into the ways that our roles as Dominants in our D/s relationships requires a high level of trustworthiness out of us. And this goes far beyond the basics of trust. In order for our submissives to fully surrender into us, they need to feel that they can trust us on every level. Down to the ways that we preserve, take care of and value ourselves...because if we don't take care of ourselves, it also shows our lack of respect for her and the dynamic. She can't let go into us if she can't trust that we'll be there for her. A submissive woman NEEDS her Dominant, and we take care of ourselves in part because we want to be able to be there to provide and protect her. We also get into how we build trust by the way we show up and respond to challenges, and why it's challenging for Dominant men to ask for help. This is the deepest and most vulnerable conversation we've ever had, and we truly hope you enjoy it.

Why Dominant men need to be vulnerable - Conscious Dominance Episode 8

In this episode, Andrew & Eric discuss the necessity, and challenges, of vulnerability as we live lives of Conscious Dominance.

While we may think of vulnerability as weakness, we explore the truth of the fact that it takes immense strength to be vulnerable. And the way that this vulnerability helps us show up in a more grounded, present strength.

We also look at how we can get out of our heads, how our triggers show us our weaknesses, and the importance of being connected with a truth that is bigger than us, among SO many other things.

If you've struggled with how emotions and vulnerability interact with Dominance as a man, or understanding Dominant men, this episode will be perfect for you!

Leading the Submission of Highly Competent Women

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 09:00:00 -0500

How do we approach Dominance while respecting the intelligence, capability, and competence of our submissive?

This is the question we unpack in this episode of Conscious Dominance.

A woman who craves submission is often also incredibly talented and skilled in her life. When we take a woman inside of our consciousness, leading her and allowing her to follow, what we do with all of this capability and competence is something that must be addressed.

Because on one hand, she has likely leaned on and relied on her ability to get her through her life. But on the other hand, for many women, they want nothing more than to be able to let go of this need to take care of themselves.

So how do we lead in relationship with a woman who CAN do so much, and how do we help her to let go of the things that might drain, exhaust, and empty her...no matter how competent she is at them?
