Happy Hour For The Spiritually Curious Podcast
Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious is a podcast for thoughtful seekers who want more than spiritual soundbites.
Hosted by Dr. Sandra Marie, nurse, clinician, and lifelong questioner, this show explores the intersection of spirituality, psychology, healing, and real-world human experience.
After years working in healthcare while studying spiritual traditions and energy practices, Sandra saw a gap. Too often, spirituality became abstract, performative, or disconnected from daily life. What was missing were honest conversations, ones that honor curiosity without dogma and explore practices that can be lived in real relationships, real bodies, and real uncertainty.
Each episode invites grounded dialogue about consciousness, trauma, intuition, burnout, sovereignty, and personal transformation.
Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or recalibrating it, this podcast is a space for inquiry, discernment, and integration.

What if pleasure isn’t a distraction from your spiritual path, but a doorway into deeper consciousness?
In this episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie is joined by erotic mystic and author Sharon Marie Scott for a grounded, thoughtful conversation on embodiment, pleasure literacy, and the intelligence of the body. Together, they explore how aliveness, sensation, and desire can become tools for spiritual growth, integration, sovereignty, and self-trust without bypassing, discernment, or nervous system regulation.
This episode invites listeners to reconsider pleasure not as indulgence, but as a form of spiritual intelligence and embodied wisdom.

About This Episode
In this conversation, Sharon Marie Scott shares her perspective on what she calls the Pleasure Renaissance a cultural shift toward restoring pleasure, embodiment, and Eros as valid and essential dimensions of spiritual life. Rather than framing desire as something to transcend or control, Sharon invites listeners to explore how sensation, aliveness, and the erotic body can become portals to intuition, integration, and personal sovereignty.
Dr. Sandra Marie brings the conversation into grounded territory, exploring nervous system regulation, discernment, integration, and the ethics of working with embodied and initiatory practices.
This episode is for anyone who is spiritually curious, embodied, or exploring the intersection of intuition, healing, and consciousness, especially those sensing that the body itself holds wisdom we’ve been taught to ignore.
