A Tibetan lama swapped books with me | Eva Oh

CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains adult themes. When Eva Oh arrived on her first ever shift as a dominatrix, most people ignored her, but not everyone… Internationally renowned dominatrix and podcast host, Eva Oh, took years to tell her Mum about her job. Her Mum's eventual reaction was surprising. Was it as surprising as meeting a Tibetan Lama on a plane who gives you some very specific feedback on your saucy memoir…? You'll have to listen and decide for yourself. Thanks so much for being here! Go to kindpodcast.com to find out more about the show.
