Metanoia

Metanoia is a provocative collection of interconnected short stories where the mind unravels, the body remembers, and the soul shifts shape. A diverse cast of related characters find themselves seated across from the same enigmatic life coach. Each session becomes a confession, a dissection, a ritual. What ties them together is a string of recent erotic experiences—sometimes tender, sometimes raw, always transformational—that refuse to be dismissed as mere pleasure or impulse. These moments challenge the stories they’ve lived by: what it means to be a man, a woman, a lover, a dominant, a vessel, a force. Their desires have cracked them open. Now they seek to name what poured out. As the coach listens, probes, and occasionally provokes, roles begin to dissolve. Masculine and feminine energies twist and blur in the retelling. Power dynamics implode. What emerges isn’t healing in the traditional sense—it’s metanoia: a radical, sensual shift in consciousness. Unflinching, poetic, and dripping with electric honesty, Metanoia maps the journeys of each character, crossing borders between societal messaging and the truth within us.
