    40. Pleasure Priority with Shauna Burns-Thomson

    TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: ⚠️ Content Note: This episode explores themes of sexuality, including kink, and contains important discussion around differentiating healthy sexual play from sexual abuse. Now—let’s get real. I’m sitting down with sex therapist and all-around powerhouse Shauna Burns-Thomson to pull back the sheets (literally and figuratively). Together, we digest the raw truths from our last show, The S Word, and tease what’s coming in our unapologetic new series, The F Word. These conversations aren’t about shock value—they’re about creating an inclusive, judgment-free zone where folks can actually explore their sexuality without shame. From kink curiosity to boundaries, from play to consent, we’re diving headfirst into the messy, liberating, oh-so-human reality of sex. And because we’re not just here to talk the talk, we’re also launching a 3-part seminar series dedicated entirely to Pleasure!—because your body deserves it, your spirit craves it, and your life will thank you for it. Tune in, get curious, and let’s turn those whispered questions into unapologetic conversations. PLEASURE PRIORITY 3-part sex health seminar with Shauna Hosted at The Goddess Movement at 33739 Essendene Ave in Abbotsford, Shauna will lead this 3-part series through October, November and January. For more info and all the juicy details, go to: https://app.schedulehouse.com/SH/Client/003701#workshops and use the pulldown menu to select “Pleasure Priority.” All three seminars for $99+gst.

    39. Choice Paralysis

    This episode is your permission slip to stop letting fear boss you around. Aryn is ripping the lid off decision paralysis and showing you how to get out of your own damn way. From real-life screw-ups to listener “oh-my-god-that’s-me” questions, she proves that bravery isn’t about being fearless—it’s about making moves while your knees are shaking. You’ll learn how to break big scary things into bite-sized wins, why flopping is just part of the glow-up, and how every single choice—even the messy ones—pushes you forward. Tune in, grab your courage by the throat, and turn that fear into fuel.

    38. Begin as you mean to continue

    “Not just when you are on stage. Record yourself when you are in your group rehersals and see what you show up like. Because if you are not showing up with big energy in your class rehersals, you are going to diminish your opportunity to show up big when you are on stage. But do both! Record both! And see what happens. Look at it again through the lens of your best friend who wants to give more energy. And then be very honest with yourself. Go, where are the places where I could show up bigger? And is that in my body movement, or is that in my face, or is that with my overall energy? These reflective surfaces can be a very powerful tool.” TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: We’re back! Aryn offers a new biz update and note about the frequency of future podcast episodes on The Goddess MovementBegin as you mean to continue - a piece of advice that guided the way as Aryn became a parentShe relates this concept to the student journey in our pole and LUVEN programs, breaking down common experiences through ‘archetypes’About setting a goal or charged awareness as we begin or engage in something, and how to create a focal point (and stick to it)How creating expectations part way through the experience becomes problematic, with reference to pole competition and performanceTips for students who desire to stretch and advance to higher levels through taking accountability and allowing proper time and/or trainingFast-tracking this process: What do I need to get there? Get feedback right from the source (us, the facilitators!)When a lack of fundamental skills is clear and hinders a student’s ability to advance (and our solution: psst… take our workshops)Why getting comfortable with the mirror and video recording can greatly improve confidence, energy and skillset in dancersReflective tools as your best friend: how to show up with even more energy come performance dayChoosing to learn rather than feel or behave defeatedReceiving feedback from people who you respect and seeking out opportunities to gain feedback in real time, most beneficially via private lessonsAn invitation to relate this process as an athlete, professional, facilitator, parent and in our everyday jobs CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST ARYN SAVARD https://www.instagram.com/aryn_savard?igsh=MWJtcHVzZmZ5dmpibg==https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg== JOIN US IN STUDIO https://www.instagram.com/tgm.studio?igsh=MzE2d2FvbWxmMXV3https://www.thegoddessmovement.com SUBSCRIBE TO OUR STUDIO NEWSLETTER https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/611879/102500689194779711/share PODCAST LOVE-BYTES https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg==

    “The way this space went down… it was like, had I been 12 hours later, I likely wouldn’t have got the space. But now I think even moreso, it was in not telling anybody it allowed me to process it in a really real way with my own thoughts and feelings and instincts about it. Without being pressured by the excitement of what it could be.

    36. Why isn't it happening yet?!?

    TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: Aryn creates this little “express” episode where she shares her thoughts on the pressure of time and timing. She ponders how her interaction with timing has shifted from forcing timing like an angry bull in her 20’s into the playful curiosity and surrender of it in her late 40’s.

    35. Transformation + Enterpreneurship wth Nicole

    “I think entrepreneurs are incredibly multifaceted. I think there’s a lot of things that we're capable of learning and doing, but if we spend all of our time doing those things (even if we don’t like it or we’re not necessarily efficient at it) it prevents us from doing the things that do make a big impact. I’ve come to realize that if I am going to be behind my business, where I thrive is in the creative aspect of things. I tend to be the spark of stuff, and then I have this beautiful team that can follow through on it. Which is allowing then the business itself to start to grow and amplify and do more of its purpose – which is touching people and connecting people.” TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: Aryn invites on the podcast guest Nicole Moore, Owner of Tidal Wave CollectiveNicole shares about her first experience at The Goddess Movement and how welcome she feltAbout the journey of coming out as gayThey reminisce on Nicole’s first retreat experience, hosted by Aryn called Lion + Rose retreatHow to ‘do life in the body you have’About challenging the societal norms that say our worth is derived from what we accomplish or how we lookNicole takes us through her leadership career in aquatics and the tech world as an ‘entrepreneur’About the naked ocean cold plunge: how it started and what it evolved intoConnecting with your senses, becoming curious and playing with texturesTrusting intuition and tapping into our innate knowings through embodimentNicole takes her passion for leadership processes and systems to go out on her ownHow Tidal Wave Collective helps entrepreneurs work smarterAll about leadership – with staff, with students, with communityWhen letting others shine and giving them the podium promotes our Legacy of LoveNatural consequence as a leadership styleAbout collaboration, delegation and communication within a business' ecosystemAryn asks Nicole’s top 2 tools for systems optimization for solopreneurs CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST ARYN SAVARD https://www.instagram.com/aryn_savard?igsh=MWJtcHVzZmZ5dmpibg==https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg== CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST NICOLE MOORE https://www.instagram.com/nic.tidalwavecollective/https://www.tidalwavecollective.comnicole@tidalwavecollective.com JOIN US IN STUDIO https://www.instagram.com/tgm.studio?igsh=MzE2d2FvbWxmMXV3https://www.thegoddessmovement.com PODCAST LOVE-BYTES https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg==

    34. Opening Pandora's Box

    “I don’t feel like I need to always be on track anymore. I used to… I used to a lot. But I don’t feel like that is realistic anymore. I feel like the more things you do in life, and the more experiences you have in life, the more I in particular, realize there is no such thing as being in track all the time. You can have goals, you can have desires, you can have actions and at no point in time will they all perfectly align so that everything is exactly the way you want it. It will never happen. So, the way I manage all these things is I immediately take responsibility; not try and point fault at other people or other things. The ability to take responsibility when I fall off track or drop a ball is hugely empowering because now it’s not about life happening TO me, it’s about how am I shaping life.” TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: Aryn continues to respond to her prompt on Instagram about what people would like her to blab aboutThe topic of getting out of your own way and getting back on track paralleling with getting back in your bodyWhen acute trauma makes this work debilitating, and how to move forward with a professionalHow the body perceives sensuality as sexuality, and how this shows up in the studio at The Goddess MovementHow the internal dialogue gets loud and leans into what it knows in order to create a truthAbout replacement dialogue and finding a point of reference through personal experience as an individualThe value in asking a dear friend about your own behaviours & self-sabotageA question from Aryn’s coach prompts her to go deeper into doable actionWhen we demand that fears gets specific – “What do you actually want from me?”How to empower yourself by taking responsibility for getting off track rather than beating ourselves upWhen bucking societal agreements causes friction and how you can develop more ability to not give f*cksFeeling safe in your body: make it a solo activity first ie. body scanConnecting to your body through movement and why slowing down promotes proper awarenessThe energetic portal through our pelvis region and how women lock it closed as an emotional trauma responseAs seen in the studio – when having a larger shaped body leads to a preconceived notion of failure (and how to shatter that narrative) CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST ARYN SAVARD https://www.instagram.com/aryn_savard?igsh=MWJtcHVzZmZ5dmpibg==https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg== JOIN US IN STUDIO https://www.instagram.com/tgm.studio?igsh=MzE2d2FvbWxmMXV3https://www.thegoddessmovement.com PODCAST LOVE-BYTES https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg== BOOK The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.

    33. If I were to write a commencement speech...

    “I have so much respect for the teacher of that class because trying to bring forward the principles of philosophy, and create active thinking and curiosity-based questioning around concepts, and not making things right or wrong with a lot of our young people right now… is very difficult. Because it's a skill that you have to learn. But he f*cking loved that class because it was all of that stuff. It was theorizing and thinking and poking holes at things. So that would be one; question everything. Question everything people tell you about what you are supposed to be as a grown up, the responsibilities you're supposed to have, the pathway you're supposed to lead, the choices you make. Question everything that you find interesting.” TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: When creativity strikes (at 3 AM)Responding to a poll created @‌thegoddessmovementpodcast Instagram stories; asking what people would like to hear hereWhat advice Aryn would give to someone in their 20’sAbout questioning everything – including what we learn about relationships from rom-comsA podcast testimonial that comes in via text while recordingThe value of money as a ruleBasic curiosity and a stories about Aiden being persistent as a kid in schoolAryn expands on the vibe of episode 32 about questioning the rules of the game of lifeAbout taking risks in money, marriage, and hobbies like divingReleasing perceived pressures and changing direction to explore other interests – a permission slipPrioritizing play and how it pays“Just f*cking do it” :: not your commonplace commencement speechFalling in love with potential and establishing core values over searching for your “calling” CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST ARYN SAVARD https://www.instagram.com/aryn_savard?igsh=MWJtcHVzZmZ5dmpibg==https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg== JOIN US IN STUDIO https://www.instagram.com/tgm.studio?igsh=MzE2d2FvbWxmMXV3https://www.thegoddessmovement.com PODCAST LOVE-BYTES https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWYxOGN5Z3diY3pubg==
