   13: Meeting Life's Edges As A Dominatrix With Saskia Walker

   “I'm so transparent, there's nothing to hide" Professional Dominatrix Saskia Walker, aka Goddess Transcendence, exchanges female-led BDSM guidance and pleasure for her clients’ submission. Based in Brighton & Hove, UK, she holds space for those who want to surrender. Saskia is not your stereotypical Dominatrix out there. In this conversation, she opens the door to a world that is often misunderstood, offering nuance, intelligence and a refreshing softness that reshapes how we think about BDSM and how it benefits society without harm if we understand it properly. Sharing a bath with someone so young, thoughtful and quietly powerful was a genuine privilege. She welcomed us with grace, guiding us through her childhood, personal evolution and the experiences that shaped her worldview, her work and her sense of self. In this episode, we enjoy a wealth of topics in a rich and honest conversation, which, unlike what our judgements and fears might say, feels empowering in its transparency. We talk about power dynamics; the impact of patriarchy; boundaries; safety; kink; polyamory; female body, intimacy and hair; family relationships; accessing joy in a world of pain; what it means to receive pain as a way of healing; navigating what is sexuality and how to meet it healthily; Saskia’s five-year sub relationship and how the experience has impacted her; the most common client profiles in her practice; and more. For many, these topics might feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. For me, the chance to sit with Saskia, to listen, to learn and to witness her humanity, felt like an honour. Her openness reminds us that behind every label is a real person with a story worth hearing.

   12: Anxiety & Adult Entertainment with CH4 'Handcuffed' Winner Rob Makin

   "To me, it's just a job" British adult performer and online content creator, Rob Makin is a straight man working in the gay male porn industry. He is also the winner of Channel 4’s social experiment "Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing", where he was partnered with Charlie Gray, who appeared on Biting Lemons earlier this season. Rob is a big guy with a big heart and a soft energy. After the bath experience with him, I had some conflicting feelings emerge. On the one hand, being in our studio’s bath with someone so much larger than me was overpowering, as I was so aware of how small I was. On the other, I felt almost comforted, like a child. At the same time, I felt protective over him. The industry in which he works is one that I find challenging to understand and fully accept. It’s undeniably obvious how easy it is for me to love Rob, as he is so open, vulnerable and strong in equal measure. Yet, I have to be true to myself as his listener and acknowledge that I found myself at a crossroads on several occasions during our conversation. I wanted to dig deeper and question some of the thoughts and beliefs that he shared. My impulse was to pull things apart more to understand what’s underneath. I chose, however, to remain in connection with him as I felt the layers within him that needed that more than a challenging time! It left me reflecting on the times when we need to save the deeper challenges with people around us to protect them and how tough sometimes that can be. Although, on reflection, I’m not sure whether this was the right decision, I do know that this is not a podcast that seeks to tear down someone and probe and poke. To this day, I don’t know if I should have asked more, as I have a lot of curiosity around the industry and the impact it has. I am coming away with a more convinced attitude that sex education needs a radical reform, that we need many more places where humans can experience, experiment, learn and grow in their sexuality safely and that I want to get more confident to challenge myself in the bath than I perhaps do currently. Rob was generous to meet me in that conversation and share some of his thoughts and experiences. I am very grateful that he opened up about the challenges of living and working with anxiety and ADHD, especially as a content creator, because this field of work does have a very strong impact on mental health. Living in the reality of that is vital and cannot be sugarcoated. Rob shares this openly, which is what I most admired about our time in this together. There are several occasions where I felt Rob contradicted himself, but I believe all human experience, if we are fully engaged, is a contradiction. On the one hand, we can be fully okay; on the other, we can be in the depths of despair. Both can be true at the same moment. I’ve learnt to live in this contradiction comfortably and so seeking that in others is where my heart is. Thank you, Rob, for opening us all up to a reality many of us will experience, without pretending like it doesn’t exist. It takes a brave human to share their authentic self and that’s where I want all of us to live.

   11: Solo Adventuring on Two Wheels with Laura Mills: Motowaifu

   “I believe in second chances” Laura is, in her own words, a biker with a love for anime and gaming. With her motorbike, she has reached 37 countries and crossed 100,000 miles, all solo. I was blown away by the confidence Laura exudes in her solo motorbike adventures. Hearing about these types of quests has always inspired and challenged me, regardless of the gender of the person in the saddle. Yet, I have to confess my admiration for solo female riders. Seeing her drive to the interview on her bike and being around her energy was just delightful. I felt this motherly and sisterly energy around her, but I also know that I could probably rave with her in a heartbeat. I loved meeting this free spirit in her maturity and softness. In her sharing of early life traumas, she reflects that honest blend of vulnerability and strength of the human condition, without being bitter or resentful. Hearing more about her early life and that impact felt human and real. This is the kind of truth-sharing without blame that I am deeply grateful for. There is a lot we can learn from this human! One particular moment from our conversation and her solo adventure moved me to tears: her meeting someone from a country that we, coming from the UK, would judge as harsh and difficult, and that person warmly shaking her hand and embracing her with “Welcome to my country”. That’s at the very heart of what I want for myself and others: to see each other as people of equal value. Not to judge and fear, but instead come from a place of open-heartedness and curiosity. She has inspired my family so much that my middle child has now gotten her CBT and is riding her very own red motorbike. I’m still trying to find the time to upgrade my big bike licence and get myself on the road. The inspiration’s there and, when I get to it, I shall be celebrating Laura’s influence in this story. 👀 Watch this episode of Biting Lemons: https://youtu.be/pe_CFCMWoSQ (https://youtu.be/pe_CFCMWoSQ) 🍋 Follow Biting Lemons: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biting_lemons/ (https://www.instagram.com/biting_lemons/) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@biting.lemons (https://www.tiktok.com/@biting.lemons) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bitinglemons (https://www.facebook.com/bitinglemons) Website: https://bitinglemons.com/ (https://bitinglemons.com/) If this conversation moved, challenged or inspired you, subscribe and come join us for the next one.

   10: Neurodiversity & Sex Positivity with Marianne Banda

   “I know my kinks to a T” Virgin Island Season 2 contestant Marianne Banda is much more than her participation in the Channel 4 show. She is an actress and a singer/songwriter with a spice of ADHD. Such an open-hearted, authentic, clean and clear communicator, Marianne Banda was a joy to meet. She taught me with grace some terms about race and let me in on her experience of being brought up in South Africa, which I greatly appreciate. I found her balance between humour and grounded humanity really lovely. Talking about your sexuality and sex life with a stranger in a bath isn’t your everyday experience but she rose to it with zeal. This is Marianne: a joyous ray of sunshine who wears her heart on her sleeve and has a lot to give. She feels life deeply, through the lense of neurodiversity and I know that this isn’t an easy ride at times. We dive into her transition to the UK, her parents' relationship and the impact upon her, race and neurodiversity and of course, Virgin Island, the cast and crew and what an amazing experience this was for her sexual awakening and sense of self. P.S. I want to apologise for my feet appearing in the camera shot. I know there are some who find feet rather unappealing and I am sorry when they emerge out of the water. For those that loved it.. Enjoy! In this episode, Marianne mentions the Loop Experience earplugs that help cancel background noises. They can be a life-save for neurodiverse people or people with anxiety, whether it’s at a festival, a party, a concert or a walk through a big city.

   9: My Breast Cancer Journey and Trusting In God with Hazel Gaydon

   “I went up to the mirror, opened my gown and thanked my breasts” Hazel is a mum to four, one of which is Beth herself. She has been married to her husband for 57 years and together they have seen 11 grandchildren grow up before them. Hazel is a singer, author and counsellor living in East Sussex. My mum. Just saying that brings a swell of tenderness. Having her step into the bath with me felt like such an honour and also like stepping into a very exposed place. Our relationship is good, loving, steady… and yet nearly half a century of shared life means there are layers, silences and old family patterns that could easily tug at us. But at this moment, we chose something different. We chose to sit together, open to whatever might rise, trusting that we could meet it with dignity, with grace, with the kind of courage that only grows between two people who have lived a lot of life side by side. It felt like a soft rewriting of something old. Want to listen to more conversations from the bath?

   8: Unbox Life & Experience More with Barbara Carrellas

   “Energy Orgasms are for Everyone!” Barbara Carrellas is an author, sex/life coach, sex educator, university lecturer, workshop facilitator, motivational speaker and theatre artist, specialising in Tantra and holistic sexual exploration. Barbara Carrellas is a big name in her field: a pioneer whose work has spanned decades, sparked originally by the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and carried forward with unwavering devotion. Over the years she has written books, taught around the world and changed countless lives through her exploration of joy, pleasure and freedom in the mind, body and heart. I had the privilege of sharing a bath with Barbara at the cusp of her latest book launch, a moment that felt both intimate and historic. In this episode, we return to where it all began: the roots of her work, the experiences that shaped her and the character behind the teachings. We explore what matters to her and how she unboxes life in all its forms. She offers a rare glimpse into her long‑term lovership with Kate Bornstein, a relationship that has held depth, creativity and devotion for many years. This is a beautiful episode to deepen into the woman behind an extraordinary body of work and behind an exciting new book for anyone who wants MORE THAN.

   7: 14 Million Steps, One Incredible Journey with Kit Birks

   “I walked 4,989 miles to prevent a suicide” Solo adventurer and mental health activist Kit Birks is the first person to have walked the entire length of Europe. Doing so, she has raised over £100,000 towards suicide prevention. I was so excited to welcome Kit into the bath with me. What an incredible human! My favourite type of human actually: my people are those who have met the cliff edge, maybe fallen off a few times but learnt to grow wings and fly back to help those who also find themselves on the edge. As she shares so openly and with such grace, Kit has had a very human experience of meeting oneself through mental health challenges and addiction, which impacted her entire early life. Having met rock bottom, she found her way to climb up the ladder and rediscover herself in a whole new way. Not only that, she turned her story around so much that she ended up on the most incredible, powerful solo adventure: being part of the change towards and support for a better world. This is clearly her first of many more adventures and I, for one, feel changed by observing her efforts. Suicide is a leading cause of death for young people aged 15-29 in Europe. In 2021, it accounted for 18.9% of all deaths in this age group on the continent in 2021, surpassing traffic collisions. Men remain roughly 3.7 times more likely to die by suicide than women, though women report mental health problems at higher rates. These statistics ask us to not stay silent and to speak out, for ourselves and for others. Kit’s story is proof that every corner can be turned. Every life is precious, every life counts. If you or someone you know has been affected by any of the issues raised in this episode, help and support is available.

   6: Living From My Own Centre with Kerry O'Sullivan

   “I was on the floor begging for mercy” Kerry O’Sullivan is a mother, partner, author, shamanic and tantric practitioner, who just moved to Wales to start a whole new adventure. Get ready for an unapologetically woo episode! For some, this episode may sound like a touch of madness; for others, it may feel like a foreign language. And then there will be those who resonate instantly — for whom this conversation feels like a safe homecoming. Whatever your response, one thing is undeniable: in this bath, there is JOY. There is gratitude for life. There is reverence for something larger than us. It was easy for me to relate to much of what Kerry shares: this is a space I feel comfortable in. But I also know how potentially triggering this kind of sharing can be. So my first invitation is simply to pause and ask yourself: Why? What part of you reacts, and what might that reaction be protecting? My second invitation is to honour the bravery of every guest who gets into this bath. Whether we agree or not, can we choose, with a generous heart, a respectful response? These conversations are not about consensus. They are about courage. This episode lit up the room. I felt lifted by it in real time, and re‑watching it now, I feel the same. I hope you do too. What stirred in you? How do you experience life in your body? Would you ever choose a plant‑medicine journey in the jungle?

   5: Surviving Incest with Beaver Meadow

   “Are you here to kill me? I haven’t decided yet.” ⚠️ Trigger warning: There is reference to child sexual abuse in this episode. Please care for yourself as you listen. Psychosexual trauma specialist and leading voice on intrafamilial child sexual abuse, Beaver Meadow advocates for incest and sexual abuse survivors. She teaches giving and receiving consent and questions the systemic misunderstanding that shapes survivor and perpetrator outcomes. I met Beaver only once in person, years ago, under the warm light of southern Spain. We didn’t exchange life stories then, just a brief, human moment. Later, when our paths crossed again online, her posts began appearing in my world. They had a way of halting me mid‑scroll. Something in me stirred each time: curiosity, discomfort, recognition. I’ve learnt to treat those sensations as invitations rather than warnings. To pause. To ask: What is this touching in me? What wants to be understood? I wanted to sit with Beaver in that same spirit, to hear her story and to understand my own responses to it. The journey she takes me on is one I’m still digesting. After we stopped filming, she shared a moment from her past. Sitting with her father, a man convicted multiple times for sexual offences against children and asking him why he was attracted to children. His answer centred on their lack of body hair. Later that year, when a client pressured her to remove her own body hair for his preference, she agreed and immediately felt the weight of that choice. She vowed never to do it again. In that moment, the meaning behind her name, Beaver Meadow, unfolded with a new kind of clarity. This conversation is tender, confronting and necessary. Beaver, thank you for your courage, your steadiness and your willingness to let us into the deeper layers of your story. I look forward to continuing this conversation: about how we, collectively, can stay more awake, more compassionate and more honest about the realities that shape us all.

    4: Raising Teenagers, with Rachel Richards

    “Be curious, don’t be scared, it has to start with us.” Rachel was the first stranger to climb into the bath with me. The first person to enter this odd, intimate little space without knowing me at all. That alone felt like an act of trust. The way she arrived, open‑hearted, curious, unguarded, felt like a gift. Our conversation didn’t unfold like an interview. It unfurled like recognition. Rachel speaks with a kind of grounded brightness, a steadiness threaded with joy. She radiates the kind of presence that makes you feel instantly safe, instantly seen. She fit into the soul of this project as if she’d been carved into it from the beginning. In a season where I’m raising three teenagers and learning daily what it means to hold on and let go, Rachel’s voice (through her own podcast and through this moment together) has been a quiet compass. A reminder that community is not optional. It’s oxygen. Rachel, thank you for stepping into my world with such generosity. You’ve left ripples.

    3: All things gender, with DK Green

    “I was magnificent. I thought, I’d tap that.” Having DK in the bath with me felt like such a gift: a generous offering of time, knowledge and presence. So many people want to understand gender more deeply but feel awkward, shy or unsure where to begin. Gender, with all its limbs and layers, can feel like unfamiliar terrain. And then there was DK: grounded, kind, clear and willing to meet every question with patience and wisdom. The perfect person to sit with all the curiosity you lemons send in. Honestly, we could have talked for hours. My list of questions was nowhere near finished. DK, thank you for stepping into this space with such clarity and heart. You are a powerhouse in the gentlest, most impactful way.

    2: 'Handcuffed' CH4 Winner Charlie Gray

    Winner of Ch4 Handcuffed Series, Charlie Grey. “I had to get a bodyguard to protect us from him” Charlie arrived with a kind of openness that immediately softened the room. There’s a gentleness in the way she speaks, a tone people too often misread, but if you sit with her for even a moment, you feel the steadiness beneath it. This is why I want us to linger longer with one another, to move past the snap judgments and meet the human waiting underneath.  And Charlie… She is luminous. She talks about her time on Channel 4, the echoes of her upbringing and the quiet strength of her marriage to her remarkable husband. She lets us into the tender corners of her life and it feels like being trusted with something precious.This conversation was a balm on a busy week. I hope it lands softly for you too.

    1: Navigating the loss of a child, with Sam Hardwick

    “God, you gave this life to us, now take her home” In this episode we both open up and share our story of losing our third daughter, Florie Briah, to a rare virus... an experience that deeply changed our world view. There is so much more to share here; how we were impacted, what was happening at the time in our wider life, how we both found a huge spiritual awakening and much more… We’d happily jump back in the bath if you’d like to hear more, let us know! It felt good to meet with Sam in this way and to open up this dialogue. I think that revisiting past experiences from a new place can sometimes really bring a sense of grounding and growth, which is always good to acknowledge!
