Knee Deep in the Passenger Seat

Knee Deep in Artistic Rope

Cady & Sharilyn Season 2 Episode 2

In this episode of Knee Deep in the Passenger Seat, Cady and Sharilyn welcome Lindy — a powerhouse in the Kansas City rope community and the foundress of the Sisterhood of Artistic Rope (SOAR). Together, we unravel the art of Shibari: its rich history, its role in queer culture, and how rope can be both sensual expression and radical empowerment.

Lindy opens up about building safer, more inclusive spaces for femme-identifying folks in the rope scene, shares moving success stories from SOAR participants, and takes us behind the curtain of their newest venture blending burlesque and rope performance.

You’ll also hear practical advice for newcomers curious about rope, reflections on community and connection, and plenty of laughs as we tie it all together (pun intended).

✨ Whether you’re rope-curious, a seasoned rigger, or simply here for the stories, this episode invites you to reflect on identity, expression, and what it means to feel empowered in your body.

NOTE FROM OUR GUEST AND ROPE PRO: Rope can be potentially very dangerous, so it's always recommended to do research, go to classes, etc. before diving in. ALSO, any body can be a rope body, but what each person is capable of may vary and that's ok! Explore safely, y’all!
