In this solo episode, I explore a conversation that has been rising again and again in my work and my life: the remembering of the Sacred Feminine and the reclamation of the Divine Masculine — not as genders, but as energies that live within all of us.

I share why this feels like a pivotal moment, personally and collectively, as I deepen into my priestess path and continue weaving sexual healing, desire, and pleasure into spiritual remembrance. I talk about how patriarchy didn’t just distort the masculine — it violently erased the feminine, forcing all of us into hyper-masculine survival modes that were never meant to sustain us.

In this episode, I unpack:

1. What the Sacred Feminine and Divine Masculine actually are as energetic archetypes
2. How patriarchy fractured both, leading to domination, hyper-vigilance, burnout, and disconnection
3. Why reclaiming the Sacred Feminine is the first step toward true balance and healing
4. How pleasure, rest, intuition, and embodiment are foundational to feminine remembrance
5. What it would mean for the masculine to hold safety, integrity, and sacred containment rather than control

I reflect on how women have been forced to lead from trauma and over-functioning, and how healing the feminine allows us to soften, receive, and create from truth rather than survival. I also speak to the grief, anger, and rage many women carry — and why those emotions must be honored rather than bypassed as part of this reclamation.

This episode is also deeply connected to the current energetic moment. I speak about the new moon in Sagittarius, the winter solstice, and the womb-space of the dark — a zero point where death and rebirth meet. This is a time of reflection, rest, and conscious birthing, not pushing or proving.

I share my long-term vision for this work: beginning with healing the Sacred Feminine through sexuality, desire, and pleasure, and eventually moving toward Sacred Union work — where both partners are supported in embodying healed feminine and masculine energies together, free from patriarchal scripts.

I also talk about why community and sisterhood are essential in this process, and why healing the feminine must happen collectively, not in isolation. This is why my work continues to center women gathering together — witnessing, resourcing, and remembering side by side.

At the end of the episode, I share an update about the upcoming beta launch of my newly renamed course Sacred Desire (formerly Not Broken). This foundational container is a death-rebirth journey designed to help women shed shame, reconnect to their bodies, reclaim pleasure, and remember who they are beneath conditioning. I explain how joining the waitlist includes:

1. My Sacred Body Workbook
2. A free call with me to explore your personal barriers to desire
3. A gentle, no-pressure entry into the circle

This work feels essential to birthing a new world — one rooted in embodiment, pleasure, reverence, and truth. I believe this remembering is not optional anymore. It’s the foundation of what comes next.

I’ll see you in the new year, beloveds.

In this episode, I sit down with Tiffanie Miner, a shamanic healer, spinal energetics practitioner, and intuitive guide. We dive into her journey from chronic illness and trauma to discovering her gifts in energy healing, ancestral work, and shamanic medicine.

We explore spinal energetics—how releasing trapped emotions and tuning into our bodies can transform nervous system patterns, deepen intuition, and open us to guidance from our ancestors and spirit allies. Tiffany shares how group work, couples sessions, and ancestral healing ripple out to transform families and communities.

We also talk about collective shifts and intuitive downloads happening right now—how gratitude, connection, and reciprocity are reshaping the way we show up for ourselves and each other. Plus, we dive into Celtic goddess guidance, warrior energy, and star-beings, and what it means to remember our power while moving toward love, softness, and leadership.

This episode is full of wisdom, activation, and inspiration for anyone ready to reclaim their body, their intuition, and their inner strength.

In this episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I sit down with Sharon Marie Scott, author of Forbidden Alchemy: Transmuting Taboo into Erotic Medicine, to explore the transformative power of pleasure, play, and conscious sexuality. Sharon shares her journey from trauma and shame to sovereignty, choice, and spiritual mastery through pleasure.

We dive into:

• Discovering your pleasure: How deciding that you’re worth falling in love with yourself—and exploring what truly excites you—can be playful, freeing, and life-changing.
• From shame to sovereignty: Why shame around desire is imposed, not inherent, and how conscious sexual exploration can help you move from need to choice.
• The “sandbox” of sexual play: Sharon’s book includes exercises ranging from mild to wild—primal play, polarity play, power exchange, and rope—designed to help beginners and seasoned explorers alike expand their pleasure safely.
• Kink, trauma, and natural desires: How fetishes and preferences can arise from innocence, generational inheritance, or curiosity—not just trauma—and how awareness transforms compulsions into conscious choices.
• Pleasure as spiritual practice: Sharon explains how pleasure operates at higher frequencies than love alone, and how sex magic and erotic alchemy can accelerate manifestation and conscious creation.
• Pain and pleasure as transformative tools: How shifting the story around sensation allows us to access higher states of consciousness and integrate both pleasure and challenge into personal growth.
• Community and co-creation: The role of regenerative, pleasure-focused communities in supporting growth, exploration, and collective manifestation.

Sharon also shares her upcoming work, including her 12-week course The Pleasure Frequency Atelier, which blends online activation, in-person embodied practice, and integration to guide participants through sex magic, erotic alchemy, and conscious pleasure.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore your sexuality, seeking to heal from shame, or ready to integrate pleasure into spiritual mastery, this conversation offers a roadmap to reclaiming desire, deepening your sensual and spiritual connection, and raising your frequency.

In this intimate and heartfelt episode, Kayla and her co-host sit down—one week after returning from the SHED Retreat—to reflect on what truly unfolded inside this powerful container.

After a full season exploring what it means to shed through the lens of the Year of the Snake on Shauna's podcast Life Turned On, the retreat was the culmination: 10 women, two facilitators, one island, and a weekend that cracked all expectations wide open.

Here, they share:

• What surprised them the most about the group dynamic and the depth of transformation
• Why the retreat felt like a womb space—a cocoon of safety, softness, and feminine frequency
• How quickly the women bonded, supported one another, and dropped into profound vulnerability
• The behind-the-scenes moments—the lodging mix-ups, the “meat hook” underworld meditation, the spontaneous tattoo
• The power of the singing circle, the ceremonies, and the shared rituals
• What it felt like to re-enter real life after living in community, connection, and sacred feminine energy
• Their favorite moments, from spoken-desire rituals to witnessing women see and honor one another fully

This episode is a love letter to the women who showed up, the magic they created together, and the reminder that transformation happens fastest when we are willing to be witnessed.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens inside a transformational retreat—or if you’re craving deeper sisterhood, community, and embodied healing—this conversation will open your heart.

In this episode, I’m coming to you on the heels of the New Moon in Scorpio and fresh from the deeply transformative SHED Retreat—still riding the emotional and energetic high of what was created there. My scheduled guest didn’t make it, so Spirit made it clear that today needed to be a solo episode, and honestly… I think this conversation wanted to come through.

I start by sharing an exciting announcement: the Not Broken course is officially launching this January, 2026. This 8–9 week live experience is for women who feel disconnected from their sexual desire, struggle to access pleasure for themselves, or simply feel lost inside their own intimacy. It’s a beta round, meaning it will be the lowest energy exchange it will ever be, and I’m calling in founding members who want to co-create this sacred container with me. You can join the waitlist through the link below.

I also share that I am renaming my spiritual guidance sessions to Liberation Wisdom Sessions—a more aligned reflection of my priestess path and the soul-level support these one-on-one sessions offer. These sessions are for anyone needing grounding, clarity, or guidance as you unravel what’s no longer yours and root deeper into your becoming.

From there, I shift into a conversation inspired by so many stories that surfaced during the SHED retreat—stories about relationships, intimacy, disconnection, and the longing to feel seen, held, and understood by a partner. Although I typically speak directly to the individual, today I offer wisdom from years of working with couples and from witnessing the patterns that consistently shape relational intimacy.

I talk about:

• Why so many couples feel like intimacy only happens inside a sexual context
• How emotional intimacy forms the foundation for desire
• Why women often need emotional safety before accessing physical pleasure
• How men are conditioned to seek closeness through sex, not emotional connection
• Daily and weekly practices that build deeper emotional intimacy
• The role of non-sexual touch and why your body needs it
• How 20-second hugs literally rewire your nervous system for safety
• Ways to offer alternate forms of connection when you’re not available for sex
• Reconciling different intimacy needs without shame or pressure
• How to reestablish closeness when the relationship feels like “roommates”
• What it means to advocate for yourself in partnership
• Why pleasure work begins with YOU, not your partner

I also share more about the dynamic of working with couples, and how partner support containers can be added to the Not Broken course or my 1:1 coaching to help bring your new embodiment into the relational space.

And of course, I reflect on the power of community and what unfolded during the SHED retreat—the transformation, the sisterhood, the courage, and the frequency we built together. Next week, Shauna and I will be releasing a full retreat recap on her podcast Life Turned On, which I’ll link below.

I’ll be taking next week off in honor of Thanksgiving here in the U.S., as well as the National Day of Mourning as we honor Indigenous lives lost in the making of this country. After that, I’ll be back with more guests, more wisdom, and more conversations devoted to reclaiming sexuality, desire, and intimacy on your own terms.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into energy, frequency, and the collective awakening that we’re living through right now. I’ve spoken about these things before, but this time I’m weaving together the threads — my personal understanding, what the spiritual and scientific communities are seeing, and why this truly is the foundation of my mission and of the Connected Pleasure Podcast.

I start by exploring how energy creates reality — how everything, from our bodies to the stories we consume, vibrates at a frequency. When we focus on fear, shame, and despair, we reinforce those frequencies in our lives and in the collective. But when we orient toward love, pleasure, and joy, we literally help shape a new earth — one grounded in compassion, freedom, and peace.

I speak about what’s happening in our world right now — the political unrest, the fear narratives, and how easy it is to fall into doom scrolling — and I share how I’ve learned to step back and shift my vibration from fear into faith.

Then I explore what many in the spiritual community and scientific realms are noticing:

• The energetic significance of 3I Atlas, a comet-like celestial body said to be carrying new frequencies of love and consciousness to Earth.
• The ancient prophecies that align with this exact moment in history — and the idea that we are in the gestation period of the “new human.”
• How this cosmic energy may be activating healing, heart opening, and evolution in both humans and the planet herself.

I also touch on AI and the Pluto-in-Aquarius era, where technology is advancing at light speed. I reflect on how AI could either amplify scarcity or completely dissolve it — and how our consciousness, the frequency we hold, will determine which way it goes.

Throughout, I bring it back to the heart of my work: holding the frequency of love, joy, and connection — not as a way to bypass what’s happening, but as an act of revolution. This is the deeper meaning of Connected Pleasure — finding the pleasure that comes from true human connection, empathy, and collective healing.

I close by introducing my new Spiritual Guidance Sessions — one-on-one, one-hour sessions where I hold space for you to remember your own frequency and come home to yourself. Whether you’re in transition, feeling alone in your awakening, or simply longing to hold your light amidst the noise, this is a space to be held, seen, and guided in love.

If you’re ready to deepen into this work, you can Book a Spiritual Guidance Session and if this episode resonates, please share it with someone who might need these reminders right now.

Together, we are holding the frequency of love and weaving the new world.

In this episode, under the Taurus full moon and the deep waters of Scorpio season, I explore the sacred reclamation of rest—not as a reward, but as a birthright.

I open by sharing how this particular full moon is inviting us into grounding, slowness, and embodiment. With earth and water energies swirling, our nervous systems are craving stillness. I talk about how collective conditioning—capitalism, productivity culture, and generational patterns—has taught us that rest must be earned, and how deeply our bodies are asking us to unlearn that.

I share vulnerably about my own relationship to rest as a mother, a business owner, and someone who has carried the belief that I must always be “doing” in order to deserve downtime. I walk you through the emotional labor of asking for help, carving out time away from family, and the courage it took for me to claim three days completely to myself.

I also explore the deeper spiritual aspect of rest:

✨ the feminine cyclical nature of energy

✨ how rest mirrors the seasons and moon phases

✨ why pleasure lives in the rest-and-digest state

✨ how rest expands our capacity for intimacy, spirituality, and connection

We talk about rest as resistance, inspired by the teachings of The Nap Ministry, and how reclaiming rest is part of dismantling systems that profit from our exhaustion.

And then, I share some big news.

On this full moon, I announce the opening of Spiritual Guidance Sessions — one-hour, one-on-one sessions where I hold space as healer, priestess-in-training, and sacred disruptor. These are intuitive sessions rooted in somatic presence, grounded spiritual guidance, and deep listening. The investment is $111, and the link to book is below.

Schedule a Spiritual Guidance Session here!

I also share that there is one final spot open for The Shed Retreat — November 14–16 on Vashon Island — a sacred weekend for women in transition, ready to cross a threshold together.

If this episode touches something in you — a whisper that says “I need rest” or “I want support” — trust it.

Rest is not the pause before the real life begins.

Rest is the portal.

The Nap Ministry

In this episode, I’m weaving together the threads of sacred embodiment, Samhain magic, and the collective awakening that’s unfolding across our world right now.

I begin by sharing about my experience inside The Living Temple—a global space of devotion, ceremony, and remembrance—and how it’s been guiding me to see the body as both a sacred vessel and a reflection of the larger collective body we all belong to. As we move through Samhain, the festival that honors the thinning of the veil between worlds, I explore what it means to tend to both our inner and outer worlds: the ancestors we carry within, the stories ready to be shed, and the new frequencies of consciousness that are coming online.

From there, I follow the thread into our shared reality—what’s happening in the U.S. right now with the government shutdown, the slashing of healthcare, and the potential loss of food assistance programs like SNAP and WIC. It might sound like a big leap, but for me, it’s all connected. When we talk about the sacred body, we’re also talking about the collective body. When we talk about nourishment and pleasure, we’re also talking about access, care, and the right for every being to thrive.

I share the lay of the land politically, not from a place of division but to help us see the larger story unfolding—and how this moment is asking us to rise in community care, compassion, and collective action. I offer tangible ways to get involved, from donating to local food banks to organizing small neighborhood giving efforts, and I reflect on how this kind of grassroots care is part of the new world we’re weaving together.

This conversation is about awakening to the truth that pleasure, politics, and the sacred are not separate. They are threads of the same tapestry—calling us home to our humanity, our power, and our responsibility to one another.
