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

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.
