    About the guest, Dianne Shepherd :
    Dianne Shepherd is the Founder of The Shakti Core® Method, a transformative approach to women's health and empowerment, guiding women through profound sexual and spiritual rebirths. As the host of The Vital Goddess Podcast and the creator of Shakti Core® Breathwork Journeys, Dianne draws upon her own journey of experiencing a complete sexual and spiritual rebirth during menopause.

    Struggling physically, emotionally, and spiritually, Dianne found herself at a crossroads during menopause. Pelvic floor issues, emotional turmoil, and a feeling of losing control over her life left her searching for something more. Reconnecting with her Sacred Feminine essence transformed Dianne's life, leading her to embrace menopause as a Second Spring—a rebirth and a portal into the most exciting chapter of a woman's life. Through her own healing journey, Dianne developed a synthesis of practices aimed at helping women embody their true essence and tap into the creative life force power of their sexual energy.

    “I love the idea of celebrating that in the bedroom. I'm a firm believer in my own life. Number one, no TV in the bedroom. It doesn't exist in the bedroom. And the bedroom is only for two things. Sleeping and sex. That is it. That is all that transpires in the bedroom. It becomes almost a sacred altar to the relationship.”
