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 Connection 01:14 Shauna's Journey to Embracing Pleasure 05:34 Reclaiming Intimacy in Relationships 10:46 Creating a Sensual Space 12:29 The Birth of Linger Boutique 15:03 Defining Pleasure Beyond the Bedroom 17:42 Overcoming Shame and Unworthiness 20:21 The Importance of Receiving Pleasure 21:47 Reframing Sexuality for Women 24:36 The Importance of Solo Play 25:58 Redefining Women's Sexuality 27:52 The Role of Obligation in Sexual Relationships 29:26 Learning to Receive 30:43 Communication and Clarity in Intimacy 32:06 Anticipation and Pleasure 33:30 The 'Receive' Retreat in Tuscany 37:00 Balancing Productivity and Pleasure 40:16 The Power of Rest and Pleasure 42:48 Pleasure as a Superpower Connect with Shauna Stewart here: https://lingerboutique.com/ (https://lingerboutique.com/) https://lingerintuscany.my.canva.site/ (https://lingerintuscany.my.canva.site/) More from your host Susan Morgan Taylor, MA here: Free eBook: https://www.pleasurekeys.com (https://www.pleasurekeys.com) Couples Retreats: https://www.pleasurekeysretreat.com (https://www.pleasurekeysretreat.com) Somatic Sex Therapy and Coaching for Couples https://www.pathwaytopleasure.com (https://www.pathwaytopleasure.com) Keywords: pleasure, intimacy, sexuality, self-discovery, relationships, women's empowerment, education, community, receiving, healing
