You… want… more…
And it’s about time.
And you’re not alone.
You’ve been the successful and capable one, silently surrendering your own desires for what you know others want – often before they’ve asked.
Even though you’re powerful and creative, especially at work, you frequently feel stunted or indecisive in your personal life.
Because your true desires, the ones that live deep in your body, are sometimes at odds with the ‘good girl’ you’ve been conditioned to be.
So you ignore them. Stuff them. Forget they were ever there.
Even in, or especially in, the bedroom.
Whether married, partnered, or single, so many high-achieving women feel lost when it comes to sexual and sensual pleasure.
And it makes perfect sense. We were never taught how to listen to our bodies and hear our own desires, instead as women we’ve consistently taken on the invisible labor of making sure everyone and everything else is OK.
How about instead, we enjoy the feminine pleasure that is our birthright?
If you’re leaning in, you know that it’s time to make a change.
I’m Tara Galeano.
I’ve spent more than 25 years helping women reconnect to their sensuality and inner wisdom. Much of this time I was in a marriage – the sex was ‘good,’ but I was ignoring plenty of other things my body was trying to tell me about what would be fulfilling to me.
For years, I ran my sex therapy practice while on the classic people-pleasing treadmill: propping up my husband’s businesses, parenting full-tilt, and stretching myself thin to meet everyone’s needs but my own- eventually developing a thyroid dysfunction.
It wasn’t until I navigated leaving my marriage and beginning to date again that I came to know a profound truth for myself. My body knows. It holds the key to authentic pleasure and fulfillment. And I have been studying this in many ways since.
In expanding my practice from traditional therapy into embodiment coaching and retreats, I have fallen in love with the courageous acts of women everywhere – to commit to knowing and loving themselves at a much deeper level. To allowing themselves the pleasure they never knew was available to them.
This is the step you’ll take if you join me at…

At Unshamed, we will:
- Discover the belief system or energy pattern that has been alive within you, and keeping
you from experiencing pleasure and fulfillment – your birthright. - Claim the profound truth of your body as a compass for what is alive and true for you.
- Develop an unshamed action plan for the most important changes that will support you
in trusting yourself and living for YOU in this next season.
Why Unshamed?
You may hear the name of this retreat and wonder – am I carrying shame? Does this apply to me? Is there something wrong with me that I am not feeling sensual, or sexually alive, or present in my body?
Sister, there is nothing wrong with you.
So many women on the planet and you have had negative experiences around sensuality or sexuality.
And we exist on this planet where generations of women have experienced shame for being born in a female body.
So it is normal to discover that you’ve been holding back when it comes to your personal pleasure and fulfillment.
I have been there – and I was trained as a sex therapist decades ago!
If I was not aware of the shame I was carrying, of course many others are in that same boat.
I encourage you to pause for a moment. To feel into what you would truly DESIRE if you felt safe without shame in your body. What would this open up for you?
Maybe you long for greater sexual expression – to finally ask for what you want.
Maybe you want to be able to enjoy feeling sensual – to linger on smells and sensations on your skin – and to have those experiences just for you, without needing to share them with anyone else.
Or maybe you know that if you could trust the wisdom of your body, you’d be able to make better decisions in less time, and lead your life like the boss that you are.
It’s all possible when we unshame, and tune into our bodies’ wisdom.
She didn’t notice it at first—the subtle tightening in her chest as she agreed to take on one more thing.
The practiced smile she offered, even as something inside her whispered not this time.
The way she laughed on cue, softened her edges, made herself small so others could stay comfortable.
It wasn’t dramatic…
just a slow, steady realization.
One morning she looked in the mirror and saw a woman who had mastered being pleasing, but had forgotten how to be herself.
And that truth landed with a quiet clarity:
I cannot pretend anymore.
Not because she was broken.
Not because she had failed.
But because she was finally ready to come home to her own pleasure, her own voice, her own desire.
If you relate to this experience, you are not alone.
And you are perfect for Unshamed.
Unshamed is for you if you’ve been experiencing:
- A weariness that doesn’t go away with rest
- A disconnect from your body, your sensuality, your joy… your pleasure
- A sense that you’re doing everything for others and very little for yourself
- A pressure to stay agreeable, composed, or productive
- A quiet resentment you don’t want to admit aloud – why doesn’t anybody want to give me what I need?
Perhaps right now you are craving…
- Permission to tell the truth without softening it
- Space to feel, and to own yourself, without apologizing for taking up space
- A deeper connection to your body and its wisdom – and delights!
- Pleasure that truly nourishes you, not the quick fix that distracts you from what you truly desire
- A life that feels authentically yours – not just at work but in relationships, AND in the bedroom!
