S4:E1 - Introducing SHED: Stripping the Scripts Keeping Us From Pleasure

Life Turned On: Stories of Sexual Self-Discovery in Midlife & Beyond

What happens when we stop performing and start peeling back the layers?
When we let go of the stories that never truly belonged to us?
Welcome to Season Four of Life Turned On—a season dedicated to shedding.

In this opening episode, Shauna shares the heart behind this season’s theme and what it means to strip away old scripts, expectations, and identities we’ve outgrown. She reflects on what she’s been shedding in real time, how loneliness, pleasure, and power are all connected—and why this season isn’t just about ideas, but embodied practice.

We’re not staying in the realm of the mind this time—we’re bringing it into the body. Into our relationships. Into our choices.

You’ll also hear:

• An invitation to the upcoming SHED Retreat, where we’ll gather in person to move this work from conceptual to cellular
• A glimpse into the magic of the Receive Retreat in Tuscany—and what happened when women were finally allowed to rest
• A story about a surprising healing shift through Ziva Meditation, and why Shauna’s teaming up with founder Emily Fletcher this season
• A reminder that pleasure is political, and reclaiming it is part of our power
