Pleasure as Power -- How Women in Business Can Stop Burning Out and Start Leading from Overflow

What if the reason you're burnt out, depleted, and running on empty has nothing to do with your strategy — and everything to do with your relationship with pleasure?In this episode, I'm sitting down with Shauna Stewart, the Pleasure Atelier, for a conversation that is going to completely reframe the way you think about rest, desire, and what it actually means to show up powerfully in your business. Shauna spent 15 years in high-level community leadership before her body quite literally forced her to stop — and what she discovered on the other side changed everything.We cover:Why pleasure is medicine, not a reward — and the science behind what it actually does to your body and mindHow disconnection from pleasure shows up in the way women build their businesses and relate to moneyThe difference between leading from overflow versus leading from depletion — and how to make the shiftWhy self-care culture might actually be keeping you stuck, and what to prioritize insteadHow developing a deeper relationship with pleasure strengthens your intuition and helps you make aligned decisionsWhere to start if you feel completely disconnected from your own wants and desiresThis is not a conversation about bubble baths and self-care checklists. This is about reclaiming your body as a source of power, pleasure, and clarity — and building a business that actually feels as good as it performs.If you're building a soul-led business and you're tired of giving from empty, this episode is your permission slip to put yourself first.Connect with Shauna Stewart:Subscribe to her email list here to receive curated notes on intimacy, pleasure, and embodied leadership.Apply to participate in The Receive Retreat in Italy in October 2026 here!
