About this podcast
Welcome to Sauna Sesh’s with Shea — the podcast where the heat’s real, the chats are raw, and the sauna hats are a must.
Each week, host Shea Smith sits down in the sauna with everyday legends for unfiltered conversations about mindset, wellness, business, and life. From early morning routines and cold plunges to discipline, mental health, and finding purpose — nothing’s off-limits once the steam starts rising.
🎙️ Expect real talk, plenty of laughs, and the kind of honesty that only happens when you’re sweating it out.
🧖♂️ New episodes weekly — filmed inside the sauna and steaming everywhere.
🔥 Relax. Recharge. Repeat.
