What if low desire, disconnection from your body, or pain during sex has nothing to do with being broken --- and everything to do with what you were never taught? In this episode, Shannon sits down with Mint Elmokadm, somatic sexologist and pleasure-focused sex educator, to have the conversation most people are too afraid to start.

Mint shares:

1. Why so many women --- especially those raised in conservative or religious environments --- grow up with shame, guilt, and zero pleasure education, and how that shows up in the body years later
2. The most common issues she sees with women and couples, from desire discrepancy to pain during penetration to the inability to let go with a partner
3. Why "spicing things up" rarely fixes a low libido --- and what you actually need to look at first
4. What somatic sexology is, why it works faster than traditional talk therapy, and how it bridges the gap between what your mind wants and what your body will allow
5. How learning to receive pleasure in the bedroom translates directly into your ability to receive help, support, and joy in everyday life
6. The one thing Mint says is the biggest turn-on in long-term relationships (hint: it has nothing to do with lingerie)
7. Her top practical advice for women wanting to explore their sexuality and reconnect with their bodies --- whether single, newly dating, or years into a relationship

Tune in for an honest, empowering, and refreshingly shame-free conversation about pleasure, presence, and what it really means to feel free in your own body.

What happens when high-achieving women keep pushing through the numbness---until their body finally forces them to stop? In this episode, Shannon chats with Jessica Callahan, a recovering multi-passionate entrepreneur, mom of three, and burnout recovery coach, about her journey from fibromyalgia diagnosis and full business breakdown to helping soul-aligned entrepreneurs realign their energy and purpose.

Jess shares:

1. Her personal story of ignoring her body's signals while juggling real estate, a brick-and-mortar kids' business, and a newborn-until chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis made the choice for her
2. Why mindset work alone can be toxic, and why real healing has to start with the body first
3. How to create safety and groundedness in the body through breathwork, body scan meditation, and the five senses grounding technique
4. The difference between tearing everything down versus making small, intentional shifts that create deep alignment and lasting change
5. How energy audits, personality tools, and astrology can help you map where your energy is hemorrhaging-and reclaim it
6. Why suppressed emotions are directly linked to chronic illness, and how processing them can reduce symptoms like anxiety, muscle pain, and tension

Tune in for a grounding, purpose-driven conversation about what it really means to stop bypassing yourself-and how to start reconnecting with your body, your intuition, and the life you're meant to live.
