We dive into what it really means to take the lead in a scene — from the mindset shifts that help new tops build confidence, to the balance of power and care that makes BDSM both safe and deeply pleasurable. Janet shares practical tools for communicating clearly without killing the mood, navigating nerves or insecurities, and embracing topping as a creative, collaborative craft rather than a performance you need to “get right.” We also explore the emotional and psychological layers of topping—how to stay present, attuned, and aware of the deeper dynamics in more intense play. Janet highlights the ethical responsibilities of a top, the importance of aftercare for both partners, and how community and mentorship support growth. Whether you're new or experienced, this conversation offers a grounded guide to leading scenes with confidence, clarity, and heart.Order my book 'Ancient Manifestation Secrets' and get a FREE past-life regression workshop to retrieve manifestation skills: https://georgelizos.com/ancientmanifestationsecretsJoin the Energy Work Membership: https://georgelizos.com/energy-work-membershipABOUT JANET W HARDYJanet W.
