The Art of Receiving with Shauna Stewart

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.00:00 Introduction to Pleasure and Connection01:14 Shauna's Journey to Embracing Pleasure05:34 Reclaiming Intimacy in Relationships10:46 Creating a Sensual Space12:29 The Birth of Linger Boutique15:03 Defining Pleasure Beyond the Bedroom17:42 Overcoming Shame and Unworthiness20:21 The Importance of Receiving Pleasure21:47 Reframing Sexuality for Women24:36 The Importance of Solo Play25:58 Redefining Women's Sexuality27:52 The Role of Obligation in Sexual Relationships29:26 Learning to Receive30:43 Communication and Clarity in Intimacy32:06 Anticipation and Pleasure33:30 The 'Receive' Retreat in Tuscany37:00 Balancing Productivity and Pleasure40:16 The Power of Rest and Pleasure42:48 Pleasure as a SuperpowerConnect with Shauna Stewart here:https://lingerboutique.com/https://lingerintuscany.my.canva.site/More from your host Susan Morgan Taylor, MA here:Free eBook: https://www.pleasurekeys.comCouples Retreats: https://www.pleasurekeysretreat.comSomatic Sex Therapy and Coaching for Couples https://www.pathwaytopleasure.comKeywords: pleasure, intimacy, sexuality, self-discovery, relationships, women's empowerment, education, community, receiving, healing
