We journey straight into the underworld with the brilliant Dr. Victoria Hartman—fearlessly unraveling some of the most shadowy, forbidden corners of human desire and experience. From necrophilia to serial killers, erotic art and the darkest intersections of sex and psyche, we dive into the taboos most dare not even whisper about. This is not shock for shock’s sake—this is soul work: exploring how the shadows we bury hold keys to our liberation, integration, and greatest light. A gentle but necessary warning: this conversation traverses themes of sexual abuse, violence, and death—so please listen with discernment and care. If you’re ready, join us as we dance with the darkness to discover the radiant consciousness that emerges on the other side.
