What is shadow work, and how does it shape our relationship with pleasure? What might our judgments reveal about our own inner landscape? And how can we transform shame into personal power?

This is one of the rawest/spiciest conversations we’ve had on The Morning Ritual. Charlene and I sit down with the incredible Ashka Zasada, whose work is all about embodiment, pleasure, and play—helping others awaken to their own aliveness in the everyday.

For centuries, rituals have offered a sense of structure, meaning, and clarity in daily life. The Morning Ritual is a podcast devoted to exploring the power of daily practices. Here, we believe that transformation doesn’t happen in a single moment, but in the quiet, consistent choices we make every day. By showing up for ourselves through ritual, we learn how to show up more fully for our relationships, our work, our communities — and the world.

Each week, host Lilly Macfarlane sits down with teachers, artists, healers, and entrepreneurs to explore how their daily rituals help them stay grounded, clear, and aligned with their purpose. This podcast isn’t just for early risers or seasoned meditators. It’s for anyone curious about living with more presence, depth, and integrity. Rate, review & most importantly, enjoy! Let's connect!
