What if the very things you’ve been taught to hide, your desires, your shame, your shadow, are portals to your power?In this episode, Erotic Mystic and author Sharon Marie Scott joins me to talk about Forbidden Alchemy: Transmuting Taboo into Erotic Medicine, her new book, and her life’s work exploring how the taboo holds medicine. We unpack what it means to find spiritual mastery through pleasure, how desire can become a compass for wholeness, and why true awakening asks us to meet every part of ourselves, even the ones we’ve judged.

You’ll walk away seeing your relationship with power, pleasure, and the sacred in a completely new light.

Forbidden Alchemy releases 11/11/25 — preorder it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1966346670

About Sharon Marie Scott

Sharon Marie Scott is an Erotic Mystic, High Alchemist, storyteller, and founder of Life Turned On, a living temple devoted to desire, devotion, and spiritual mastery. Her work bridges the erotic and the divine, guiding self-led high-achievers, edge-players, and spiritual adventurers to remember their pleasure as sacred and their sovereignty as power.

For more than a decade, Sharon has immersed herself in alternative lifestyles and sacred erotic practices—exploring kink, BDSM, tantra, open relating, sex-positive communities, and queerness as living laboratories for transformation. She is the author of Forbidden Alchemy: Transmuting Taboo Into Erotic Medicine (HarperCollins, 2025), the first of six books in her Hieros Codex series.
