The Sara Shabana Show
There are two main reasons why we don’t take risks and design a life that brings us joy: 1) We don’t believe our dreams are really possible, or 2) We don’t know what we should do to get there. I am Sara Shabana and I am here to provoke you to design your own life, dig deeper into your curiosities, and get inspired from those who created a life they love. This podcast is all about realizing the possibilities, and learn real tactics and strategies on how you can design a life that brings you joy.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Sara Shabana Show, we explore why physical touch is not a luxury or a softness, but one of our oldest and most fundamental biological needs. And why so many of us, underneath all the noise and the perfect façade, are carrying an ache we don't have the words for. This episode is an invitation to reflect on how touched, and how touching your life truly is, and what it might feel like to come back to the oldest medicine we have ever known.
Key Takeaways:
- Why babies in Frederick II's 13th century experiment died.
- What do we know about the true nature of attachment.
- What "skin hunger" is, and why researchers consider touch deprivation a genuine biological threat to our health.
- How industrialization quietly removed touch from the texture of daily life.
- Why being on the giving end of touch heals you too.
