It's the season finale and we're reflecting on what it truly means to shed, not just as an act of personal transformation, but as a collective one.

Our sexual self-discovery isn’t isolated; it ripples through our relationships, our communities, and the wider culture. When one of us reconnects with our body and our pleasure, we shift the field between us.

In this episode, Shauna talks with Ericka Day, founder of Erica Day Rising and co-founder of The Kind Teacher, about the transformative role of psilocybin in healing, motherhood, and shedding old stories. They explore the balance between masculine and feminine energies, vulnerability, and the science behind using psychedelics for personal growth.

(CW: Sex trafficking.) In this episode, we talk with coach and trauma-conscious practitioner Joanna Arai about what it really means to reclaim intimacy with yourself. Joanna shares her path from survival and disconnection to deep embodiment and pleasure, all while never having experienced orgasm. Through vulnerability and self-honesty, she’s cultivated a rich, beautiful sex life rooted in presence, not performance. This conversation explores how true intimacy begins within and how self-connection can transform every part of how we love and live.

 This Kinktober, we’re shedding one of the biggest myths about pleasure — that kink isn’t for “people like us.” Shauna shares her journey from accidentally “coming out” as kinky at a professional dinner to discovering how kink is really about presence, play, and freedom. A story of curiosity, courage, and reclaiming desire — both in intimacy and in life.

In this episode, we're stepping away from our season’s theme of shedding to talk about something burning at the center of my heart right now: erotic leadership.

The world feels heavy. Systems are collapsing, crises keep repeating, and it’s easy to go numb. But here’s the thing: when we disconnect from our erotic selves, we disconnect from the very life force that could carry us through.

The erotic isn’t just about sex. It’s our creativity, our vitality, our pleasure, our power. It’s what makes us magnetic. And when we lead from that place, we stop running on fumes and start leading with fire and presence.

In this episode I introduce you to LIT: Erotic Leadership for a World on Fire, my self-paced course designed to put pleasure back at the center of how you live and lead. This is your invitation to trade exhaustion for aliveness and to lead in a way that feels clear, embodied, and lit from within.

Shedding isn’t always soft. In this raw conversation, Kate and Ant—together 22 years, married 15—share how infidelity in 2023 became the catalyst for radical honesty, counseling, and ultimately opening their marriage in 2024. We explore the difference between cheating and consensual non-monogamy, the systems that keep them grounded (weekly “CEO chats,” shared accounts, vibe checks, red lines, and safewords), and how novelty and planning stoke intimacy rather than threaten it. They also talk about pairing “the lifestyle” with travel, building community as @playfulvoyagers, and the very real fallout of telling loved ones—including a sister’s handwritten letter ending their friendship for now. What emerges is a story about choice, transparency, body confidence, and putting pleasure first.

• Cheating vs. consensual non-monogamy: why transparency changes everything
• Practical frameworks: shared comms, boundaries, and aftercare
• Novelty, anticipation, and why planning sex can be hot
• Body image liberation inside lifestyle spaces
• Sharing your truth with family: risk, rejection, and self-authorship
• Travel + intimacy: “playaway days,” community, and fun

From ‘good wife’ to fully alive. Jen Kushner spent years trapped in people-pleasing, infertility struggles, and the pressure to play the perfect wife — leaving her feeling basic and boring. Nearing forty, she shed those scripts, reclaimed her sexual magic, and reconnected with the sacred feminine. Now she’s fun, free, and unapologetically herself — teaching empathy in healthcare, performing stand-up, and leading women’s circles rooted in pleasure and authenticity.

Plus, Shauna invites you to the upcoming Shed Retreat to release old narratives and step boldly into your own desire.
