Join me today for a juicy conversation with, Shauna Stewart, Certified Embodied Intimacy and Relationship Coach and founder of the Linger Boutique. Shauna shares her transformative journey from a high-achieving career to embracing pleasure and intimacy. We explore the importance of creating spaces for women's pleasure, the role of education and community in overcoming shame, and the significance of receiving in enhancing relationships. Shauna shows us how to redefine pleasure beyond sexuality, the necessity of communication in intimate experiences, and the upcoming 'Receive' retreat in Tuscany, aimed at helping women reconnect with their bodies and cultivate joy in their lives.
