I’m Kristin Birdwell, author, host, & playful professional line-blurrer between the profane and the profound.


On this podcast, we break the rules, shed the shame, and get intimate through vulnerable conversations, sensual explorations, aaaand the occasional existential crisis. 


I bring raw stories, deep wisdom, and unfiltered conversations with fellow seekers, sensual enthusiasts, experts, and pleasure revolutionaries. We’re talking sexuality, self-expression, psychedelics, spirituality, and all the beautifully messy things that make us human.


If you’re ready to rewrite your story, drop the ‘shoulds,’ and live a life that turns you on… join me for a fun ride of inspiration and reclamation.

In this episode, I’m joined by ritual artist and pleasure weaver Khadoma Colomby to talk about pussy portraits, healing sexual shame, erotic embodiment, womb wisdom, and what it means to reclaim the parts of ourselves we were taught to hide.

Khadoma shares how she transforms images of women’s vulvas into deeply personal works of art and how the process becomes a ritual of reconnecting with a part of the body many women have been taught to hide, judge, change, or reserve for someone else’s pleasure.

We explore how women become disconnected from their bodies, why fully expressed women can be so confronting, and what changes when a woman begins treating her pleasure, sexuality, and life-force energy as her own.

Khadoma also shares her simple three-song Tending Your Turn-On practice, designed to help you reconnect with your emotional landscape, awaken sensuality through self-touch, and invite more energy and pleasure into your day.

Enjoy, darlin'.

We talked about BDSM, power exchange, pegging, tantra, conscious domination, submission, nervous system regulation, and how kink can become a profound path toward healing.

Whether you're deeply immersed in kink or curious about why so many people find freedom through conscious power dynamics, this conversation goes way beyond whips and chains.

We also get into...
• how she accidentally discovered BDSM through Rihanna's S&M song
• the surprising journey from lifelong submissive to dominatrix
• why communication is the sexiest foreplay
• how fantasy conversations can strengthen relationships
• what tantra and BDSM actually have in common
• why pegging carries so much unnecessary shame
• how play helps us reconnect with parts of ourselves we've forgotten
• and why pleasure, healing, and spirituality might all be speaking the same language.

As always...take what resonates, leave the rest, and stay curious.

Francesca runs a retreat center (Anam Cara) with Shipibo healers from the Amazon and describes a way of sitting with ayahuasca that feels like a warm, peaceful journey.

We unpack:

  •  Francesca’s journey from addiction & autoimmune illness into plant medicine work 
  •  What ayahuasca actually is without the spiritual fluff
  •  How modern psychedelic culture sometimes creates more dysregulation instead of healing 
  •  Poorly held ceremonies & psychedelic trauma 
  •  Why nervous system regulation matters before the ceremony 
  •  The role embodiment plays in healing 
  •  How women disconnect from intuition 
  •  The difference between performing spirituality vs. embodying truth 
  •  Integration after ceremonies & why support matters 
  •  The exhaustion of hiding parts of ourselves

But from there, we dive DEEP into sobriety, psychedelics, emotional availability, intimacy, dopamine, performance, reinvention, and what it means to feel alive without constantly chasing the next high.

Amy opens up about cheating in past marriages, seeking validation through sex and alcohol, exploring polyamory, healing through psychedelics, and ultimately discovering that what she truly wanted wasn't more experiences… it was deeper intimacy.

We also talk:

  • sober sex & intimacy: the terror, the awkwardness, & the beauty
  • dopamine depletion & alcohol 
  • women reinventing themselves later in life 
  • learning to trust yourself 
  • finding bliss in ordinary moments 
  • growth through discomfort 
  • psychedelics: 5-MeO DMT & ayahuasca
  •  social media visibility + hate comments 

It's funny. It's real. It may lovingly call out the thing you've been calling a spiritual practice when it's actually just avoidance.

🎧Press play. By the end of this convo, Amy and I were high on life... no substances required.

We talk about:
• navigating grief and miscarriage inside a marriage
• what “don't leave the table” really means in long-term relationships
• how postpartum hormones impact libido, mood, and connection
• rebuilding intimacy after a baby when you don’t feel like yourself
• scheduling sex (and yes, building a sex dungeon 👀)
• GLP-1 microdosing, metabolic health, and hormone regulation
• PT-141 and the truth about low libido in women
• the connection between hormones, the nervous system, and desire

This isn’t surface-level relationship advice. It's real-life... what happens when you're exhausted, grieving, touched out, dealing with hormonal shifts, and still want to stay connected to your partner?

We also get into the uncomfortable truth that some relationship problems are actually biological, not just emotional or mental.

If you're navigating postpartum changes, low libido, hormone imbalance, or trying to rebuild intimacy in your relationship… press play.

In this episode of Sex, Drugs, & Soul, I am joined by attachment and relational healing coach Genell Gorman for a candid, unscripted conversation focused on mother wounds, father wounds, attachment styles, CPTSD, and how early emotional experiences shape adult relationships.

Together, we explore...
 • The “oh sh*t” moment when you realize your dating patterns mirror childhood wounds
 • How emotionally unavailable parents create anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment styles
 • Trauma bonding vs. genuine chemistry
 • Why chaos can be mistaken for love and how to break that cycle
 • Healing without becoming emotionally armored or hyper-independent
 • Whether you need to “heal first” or if heal occurs through relationships
 • Reparenting, nervous system regulation, and reclaiming your personal power

This episode is for anyone navigating dating, intimacy, or healing, who is tired of repeating the same story and ready to choose love from a place regulation rather than longing.

Consent, Boundaries, & Asking for What You Want | Dennis Hull What Is a Play Party? Consent, Boundaries, & Asking for What You Want | Dennis Hull “Real power is speaking your desire without being attached to the outcome.”

What if the real power isn’t getting what you want but having the courage to ask for it?

In this episode, Dennis Hull joins to talk about sovereignty, desire, boundaries, rejection, and why attachment to outcome quietly runs so many of our lives. We unpack the philosophy behind tantra play spaces, the difference between safety and sovereignty, and why real community can’t be built online alone.

This is a conversation about pleasure without performance, asking without expectation, and learning how to stay present even when you hear no.

Messy. Honest. Deeply human.

The salvation, then, is to be found in the body..."

What if trauma isn’t something to heal or release but something that formed intelligently in response to life?

In this episode, I sit down with Will Rezin of Trauma & Somatics for a deep, grounding conversation on trauma, attachment, procrastination, nervous system regulation, and why so many of us never actually feel completion, only “what’s next?”

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding how you formed and what becomes possible when survival isn’t the only goal anymore.

Tantra, Surrender & Manifestation with Leola Are Your Desires How God Speaks to You? Tantra, Surrender & Manifestation with Leola “The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get home.”

In this episode, I sit down with Leola, tantra teacher, bestselling author, and host of Talk Tantra To Me, for a conversation that gently roasts manifestation culture, flirts with devotion, and asks an interesting question: What if desire is how God speaks to us?

We explore:
- Why your desires are rarely about the thing (sorry)
- How control issues are often just trust wounds in a trench coat
- The difference between egoic craving and soul-level longing
- Why “manifesting harder” might actually be anxiety in lingerie
- How surrender doesn’t mean giving up — it means giving over
- God as lover, leader, and the one who may lovingly wreck your vision board
- Why the body is still the most avoided spiritual teacher in the room
- And what happens when you stop seducing outcomes and start seducing truth...

This episode is for you if..
- You’re tired of forcing things to happen
- You secretly suspect desire isn’t the villain
- Your vision board needs a gentle exorcism
- Or you’re ready to trust something wiser than your ego

It’s deep. It’s funny. It may lovingly call you out. 

Listen if you’re ready to stop begging the universe & start having an honest conversation with it.

🎧 Press play. Listen to the whisper...don't wait for the yell.

]]> “The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get home.”

In this episode, I sit down with Leola, tantra teacher, bestselling author, and host of Talk Tantra To Me, for a conversation that gently roasts manifestation culture, flirts with devotion, and asks an interesting question: What if desire is how God speaks to us?

We explore:
- Why your desires are rarely about the thing (sorry)
- How control issues are often just trust wounds in a trench coat
- The difference between egoic craving and soul-level longing
- Why “manifesting harder” might actually be anxiety in lingerie
- How surrender doesn’t mean giving up — it means giving over
- God as lover, leader, and the one who may lovingly wreck your vision board
- Why the body is still the most avoided spiritual teacher in the room
- And what happens when you stop seducing outcomes and start seducing truth...

This episode is for you if..
- You’re tired of forcing things to happen
- You secretly suspect desire isn’t the villain
- Your vision board needs a gentle exorcism
- Or you’re ready to trust something wiser than your ego

It’s deep. It’s funny. It may lovingly call you out. 

Listen if you’re ready to stop begging the universe & start having an honest conversation with it.

🎧 Press play. Listen to the whisper...don't wait for the yell.

In this solo episode of Sex, Drugs, & Soul, I reflect on a year that brought me to my knees and opened my heart.

I explore what it means to receive an answered prayer, release old patterns, and choose bold faith over familiar intensity.

Topics include...
• Letting go of old keys and opening new doors
• Slow-burn love vs. intensity
• Faith, integrity, and intentional living
• Vulnerability vs. exposure
• Stillness, safety, and nervous system regulation
• Erotic energy as holy and sacred
• Play, presence, and inner child healing

This episode is for anyone standing at the threshold of something new, wondering if they’re brave enough to receive it.

Herro Why We Hide Who We Are: Sex, Love, & Fear of Abandonment | C.R. Herro “The mask that keeps you from being abandoned is the same one that keeps you from being loved.”

This episode is not soft.
It’s not performative.
And it’s definitely not comfortable.

Licensed therapist C.R. Herro returns for one of the most raw, intellectually honest, and emotionally confronting conversations on Sex, Drugs, & Soul to date.

We unpack:

  • Why archetypes and masks feel safe but sabotage intimacy
  • The uncomfortable truth that sex is not love
  • How trauma teaches us to outsource safety, worth, and belonging
  • Why kindness is strength (and intensity is often a red flag)
  • The fantasy of being rescued & the grief of letting it die
  • What it actually means to become your own hero

This is a conversation about responsibility, embodiment, emotional honesty, and the courage it takes to stop performing and start living.

🎧 Listen if you’re ready to stop numbing, stop pretending, and start telling yourself the truth.

00:00 – Welcome + why this conversation will ruffle feathers
03:00 – What’s turning C.R. on: access, honesty, & emotional availability
07:30 – Why being human is harder than we admit
12:00 – Archetypes vs authenticity: the mask we wear to feel safe
18:00 – The puppet metaphor: why the mask blocks real love
24:00 – Trauma, self-blame, & being crueler to ourselves than others
30:00 – Codependence vs hyper-independence (same wound, different armor)
36:00 – The fantasy of being rescued
42:00 – Sex ≠ love: the most expensive lie
48:00 – Intensity vs kindness (red flags that look like desire)
54:00 – Dropping performance & choosing emotional responsibility
60:00 – The 80th birthday exercise: playing the tape all the way forward
68:00 – Becoming your own hero
75:00 – Love without possession & interdependence
82:00 – Final reflections, integration, & closing wisdom

Spencer opens up about his journey from childhood abuse and combat trauma to finding triumph through various healing modalities. We explore the critical differences between instinct and intuition, the "pussification" of the modern male, and how to build authentic self-confidence. Spencer also shares the story behind his darkest moment, the service dog who saved his life, his profound experiences with psychedelics (Psilocybin and Ibogaine), and how they catalyzed integrating years of therapy into true healing.

Whether you are a veteran, a survivor of childhood trauma, or someone looking to strengthen your mental resilience, this video provides a roadmap for moving from a "badge of trauma" to a "lighthouse of hope." Watch until the end to hear Spencer’s incredible dragon story and his advice on dating, setting boundaries, and why honoring your instincts is a radical act of self-protection.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn About:
- Complex PTSD and how "big T" and "little T" traumas compound
- How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps reframe past perspectives
- The role of Psilocybin and Ibogaine in healing deep-seated shame and guilt
- The vital distinction between Safety vs. Security and Fear vs. Anxiety
- Practical tips for men on building authentic masculinity and for women on vetting partners by honoring instincts

Spencer’s new book, Winning the War Within, releases June 26, 2026.

If you have ever wondered what heals trauma or how to navigate the long road of healing from Complex PTSD (CPTSD), this deep dive offers both professional insight and raw, personal experience.

We get into the fear of being seen, the cringe, the emotional work behind content creation, and why consistency is the real magic. Courtney shares how an accidental six-gram mushroom trip rewired her life, how psychedelics fuel her creativity, and why microdosing for business sometimes beats any strategy.

We talk manifestation versus action, breaking up with the spiritual community, identifying your value above other values, emotional intelligence in the age of AI, and why building a personal brand is basically training your nervous system to be witnessed.

Short, spicy, a little feral, and perfect for anyone who wants personal branding advice that actually lands.

]]> For the 100th episode, I sit down with Courtney Johnson, a branding expert, author, and former ghostwriter who makes personal branding feel like emotional foreplay, rather than just marketing.

We get into the fear of being seen, the cringe, the emotional work behind content creation, and why consistency is the real magic. Courtney shares how an accidental six-gram mushroom trip rewired her life, how psychedelics fuel her creativity, and why microdosing for business sometimes beats any strategy.

We talk manifestation versus action, breaking up with the spiritual community, identifying your value above other values, emotional intelligence in the age of AI, and why building a personal brand is basically training your nervous system to be witnessed.

Short, spicy, a little feral, and perfect for anyone who wants personal branding advice that actually lands.

In this episode, I chat with Anthony Michael, a former pastor turned tantra teacher, community builder, and “minister of pleasure.” Together, we dive into the intersection of religion, sexuality, and sacred embodiment.

From his 17 years in ministry to creating tantric play parties and a thriving conscious community in Houston, Anthony shares the radical journey of transforming guilt into grace and discovering how sex can be a prayer and pleasure can be devotion.

🎧 Inside:

  • What happens when a pastor discovers Tantra
  • Healing religious shame and sexual repression
  • Why “safe masculine presence” makes the feminine bloom
  • How divorce, desire, and devotion became his catalysts
  • Finding God in orgasm
  • The divine masculine, safe presence, and embodied leadership
  •  Rewriting your gospel through love, wholeness & desire
  • The surprising overlap between theology and sexuality

A conversation for anyone who’s ever felt torn between God and pleasure, holiness and wholeness. Spoiler: they might just be the same thing.

  • The role of vulnerability and why it deepens connection
  • Why fantasies aren't random, what they may reveal, & what is possible by exploring them
  • The difference between keeping fantasies in the mind vs. exploring them in reality
  • How to talk about fantasies with your partner without blame or shame
  • Why all events are emotionally neutral, until we assign meaning
  • Why jealousy is an invitation instead of an enemy & embracing the full spectrum of emotions 
  • The truth about taboo fantasies
  • Creating a safe space for exploration & fantasy fulfillment
  • Justin’s formula for a fully-lived life: Healing → Exploration → Mastery

We talk about...

  • The emotional toll of hyper-independence

  • Holding space without trying to fix or rescue
  • Discomfort as a path to deeper pleasure
  • The attraction to the unavailable
  • Dennis’s transition into stewarding the Naked Soul Society, how he navigates leadership, & what it means to offer presence as a form of protection. 

This episode is a permission slip to take your hands off the wheel, honor your emotions, and trust your own inner timing. It's also an honest glimpse into the kind of masculinity that doesn’t dominate but protects, witnesses, and honors.

Let’s shift that and be the doms of our lives.” - Kimi

This conversation with Kimi Inch, The Creatrix of Erotic Leadership™, is one I’ve been dreaming about for over a year. Kimi is a renowned expert with 20+ years of experience in the realm of intimacy, conscious kink, and unlocking your body’s untapped erotic energy. Featured on prestigious platforms such as The Oprah Winfrey Network, SXSW, Princeton University, and Nightline, Kimi’s goal as a pro-Domme, Somatic Therapist, and Sex-Positive Edu-tainer is to provide a safe and pleasure-filled space for exploring parts of ourselves that we rarely dare to look at.

It’s been a heavy week, both individually and collectively, and after we wrapped, she thanked me for my vulnerability and said, “The world doesn’t need more smart… the world needs more heart.”

I invite you to explore, be open to possibilities, and press play to discover how conscious kink might weave more heart into your life and, consequently, ripple into the lives of others.

Full episode on YouTube.

▶Ego death, surrender, & liberation in play

]]> “Your reality is a result of your nervous system and how you see life. Let’s shift that and be the doms of our lives.” - Kimi

This conversation with Kimi Inch, The Creatrix of Erotic Leadership™, is one I’ve been dreaming about for over a year. Kimi is a renowned expert with 20+ years of experience in the realm of intimacy, conscious kink, and unlocking your body’s untapped erotic energy. Featured on prestigious platforms such as The Oprah Winfrey Network, SXSW, Princeton University, and Nightline, Kimi’s goal as a pro-Domme, Somatic Therapist, and Sex-Positive Edu-tainer is to provide a safe and pleasure-filled space for exploring parts of ourselves that we rarely dare to look at.

It’s been a heavy week, both individually and collectively, and after we wrapped, she thanked me for my vulnerability and said, “The world doesn’t need more smart… the world needs more heart.”

I invite you to explore, be open to possibilities, and press play to discover how conscious kink might weave more heart into your life and, consequently, ripple into the lives of others.

Full episode on YouTube.

What happens when a virgin bride raised in purity culture becomes a pleasure preacher?

In this raw conversation, I sit down with Lauren Elise Rogers, sexuality educator, intimacy coach, and founder of SexEdForYou.com. From growing up in the confines of religious purity culture to reclaiming her voice and becoming a sexuality educator, Lauren embodies the journey of the wounded healer by turning pain into wisdom and shame into possibility.

Together, we dive into:

  •  Growing up in purity culture and reclaiming sexual autonomy
  •  Divorce, loss, and the messy middle of healing
  • Rage as a sacred force for healing and transformation
  • Navigating grief, divorce, and the power of reconciliation in relationships
  • Indigenous attachment styles and a more expansive view of intimacy
  • Theater and play as revolutionary tools to renegotiate trauma
  • Vulnerability, choice, and aftercare as foundations for deeper connection
  • The power of play, embodiment, & rewriting trauma through somatic practices
  • Building relationships rooted in choice, freedom, and joy

This episode is for you if you’ve ever questioned the stories you were handed about sex, struggled with loss, or longed to step into a fuller, freer version of yourself.

02:25 | Growing up in purity culture, Liberty University, & courtship model 
06:30 | Dreams, divorce, & losing everything in the church fallout

✦My first tantra temple experience (I was nervous AF!)

Expect laughter, truth bombs, a little blushing, and a whole lot of permission.

🪞 Letting go of outdated identities & investing past pain into future power
📱 Mindless scrolling, dopamine traps, & the algorithmic illusion of control
🧬 Why intuition isn’t mystical
🤖 How AI could become your digital accountability buddy

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to rewrite your life’s narrative… this episode is your invitation.

00:52 The Role of Trauma in Addiction & The Story We Tell Ourselves

This week, I chat with Pia Leichter, an artist and embodiment guide, to explore how creativity, play, and ritual have helped both of us move through life’s biggest transitions. We talked about the beauty of death ceremonies, romanticizing life, the power of stillness, and how tuning into our bodies can guide us through grief, joy, and everything in between.

Some of what we explored:
✦ How creativity opens up when we stop trying to control everything
✦ How pleasure can be a guide, not just a goal
✦ What death rituals can teach us about living more fully
✦ The importance of play and joy

If you’re navigating change or craving a deeper connection with yourself, I hope this episode gives you space and insight to imagine a new way forward.

We unpack how personal experiences, from strict religious upbringings to flawed sex education, inform the jokes comedians tell and the deeper truths behind them. From bombing on stage to navigating audience dynamics, this is a conversation about vulnerability, resilience, and using humor to cope with the chaos of being human.

Topics we explore include:
✦ How comedians use personal stories as social commentary
✦ Why religion, politics, and parenting are comedy gold…and landmines
✦ The role of selfishness and responsibility in today's society
✦ Why we need more nuance (and more laughs) in political discourse

Whether you’re a comedy nerd or someone trying to understand or survive the world through laughter, there’s something here for you.

Our paths crossed in Austin at various events, and I've been impressed by her advocacy for men and the valuable insights she shares online on topics such as dating, intimacy, and authentic relating. We also share stories from our lived sex work experiences and how they have informed our views on intimacy, personal growth, and relationships. 

We explore everything from the Madonna-Whore complex, eroticizing trauma, and self-inquiry to why men often seek out sex workers, how childhood informs our relationships, and the subtle ways we deflect vulnerability, like making vulgar jokes to avoid being seen. 

If you find yourself feeling disheartened about modern dating, confused by relationship dynamics, or curious about intimacy drivers and lived sex work experiences delivered in a no-BS style, give this one a go.

If you find yourself feeling disheartened about modern dating, confused by relationship dynamics, or curious about intimacy drivers and lived sex work experiences delivered in a no-BS style, give this one a go.

Emmy award-winning artist Alex Ruiz joins me for a raw, riveting ride through depression, psychedelics, and creative resurrection.

From The Simpsons and Beauty and the Beast to sacred ceremonies with peyote, Alex shares how he went from burnout and suicidal ideation to finding purpose and birthing a body of work that channels mysticism, mythology, and multidimensional muses. We explore how visionary art becomes a mirror, a medicine, and a means of becoming.

Inside this episode…
🍄 Psychedelics & the art of becoming
🖤 The tortured artist & letting go of the darkness
🎭 Horned women, third eyes & mythic characters
📉 AI vs human soul in art
🔥 From hiding in the art cave to teaching with purpose
🧠 Journaling, visualization, & the neo-renaissance

He also gives us a sneak peek at Delicate Delirium, his upcoming art show in Austin on June 28th, and shares how creating his own fantasy world (language and all) became a portal to reconnection, authenticity, and healing.

If you’ve ever wondered how to alchemize pain into purpose, are looking to rebuild your relationship with art, or if you’re just here for horny forest creatures and psychedelic chats, this episode is pure soul nectar.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Diane Mueller for a conversation about what it takes to keep passion alive in long-term relationships.

We get into the truth about libido (hint: it’s not just hormones), the impact of the nervous system on arousal, and how communication can completely shift the way we connect with our partners. We also talk about hot monogamy, self-pleasure as a tool for empowerment, and the kind of emotional safety that makes real pleasure possible.

Don't Swallow The Boric Acid... This episode is dedicated to Larro! Love you, brother. Let's roll...

***

In this tender and truth-soaked episode, I open up about my journey with grief after losing a dear friend who left this world far too soon. It’s raw. It’s real. Emotional AF...and wrapped in love.

I talk about the gut-punch of loss, the wild ride of emotions that followed, and the unexpected signs he sent me from the other side. Because love doesn’t just disappear, it shape-shifts. I also share a near-death experience that cracked me open in a way I didn’t see coming, and a powerful, symbolic body-painting session that felt like a creative rebirth. It was like my way of honoring both him, the parts of myself that grief awakened, and the new version of myself. (Rising phoenix, vibes!)

This episode is a mix of courage, creativity, connection, and the kind of healing that only grief can bring. It ends with a tribute poem I wrote for him to honor his spirit and the bond we shared...

I'm still unpacking some of the soul lessons... yet, if you’ve ever lost someone you love, or are navigating the messy beauty of grief, this one’s for you.

If you want to explore courage while connecting with fellow creatives, join me on NABA this Wednesday, May 14th, at noon CST for a virtual, open-mic writing workshop/playshop.

In this episode of Sex, Drugs, & Soul, I sit down with Dr. Sharnael to explore the subconscious sh*t that keeps us stuck in cycles of illness, toxic love, money drama, and feeling “blocked” from the life we know is meant for us.

We talk about how trauma gets stored in the limbic system and biofield, why your subconscious literally takes everything you say as law, and how self-hate quietly repels love, money, health, and opportunity—even when your conscious mind is “doing all the things.”

Dr. Sharnael shares:

  • Her story of getting seriously ill and realizing it was rooted in unprocessed trauma
  • How a wild “meet Will” dream led to a doctor, a mirror practice, and a total self-love awakening
  • Why free will and the subconscious can override even the most aligned spiritual intentions

]]> Are you secretly sabotaging your own miracles? 👀

In this episode of Sex, Drugs, & Soul, I sit down with Dr. Sharnael to explore the subconscious sh*t that keeps us stuck in cycles of illness, toxic love, money drama, and feeling “blocked” from the life we know is meant for us.

We talk about how trauma gets stored in the limbic system and biofield, why your subconscious literally takes everything you say as law, and how self-hate quietly repels love, money, health, and opportunity—even when your conscious mind is “doing all the things.”

Dr. Sharnael shares:

  • Her story of getting seriously ill and realizing it was rooted in unprocessed trauma
  • How a wild “meet Will” dream led to a doctor, a mirror practice, and a total self-love awakening
  • Why free will and the subconscious can override even the most aligned spiritual intentions
  • How her body registered her high school first date as her “real” marriage day 🤯
  • The energetic reason she kept attracting liars… and what changed when she finally loved herself
  • The link between parasites, patterns, and people who keep taking advantage of you
  • How biofeedback, outcome mapping, and frequency work can help clear the field and invite miracles in
  • Practical tools for remembering your dreams, tracking synchronicities, and speaking the language of miracles

We also talk about:

  • Boundaries as a form of self-love
  • Why health, wealth, love, and purpose are all connected
  • The power of the quote: “Revelation comes out of rest”
  • Her book The Science of Miracles and how it maps out the tech behind magic

It wasn’t a punishment, it was a gift.” – Medicine message from Dr. Ron’s ceremony

What if your “anxiety” isn’t a personality flaw… but a brainwave pattern stuck in fight-or-flight?

In this episode, Kristin sits down with Dr. Ron Nathanson – chiropractor, neurofeedback specialist, and psychedelic-assisted healing guide – to explore how brain mapping, neurofeedback, and plant medicine can help rewire trauma at the deepest levels.

They dive into:
 🧠 What neurofeedback actually is (and how brain mapping works)
💥 The car accident that led Ron into chiropractic and trauma healing
👧 How his daughter getting run over by an SUV led him to neurofeedback
📚 The Body Keeps the Score, epigenetics, & multigenerational trauma
🍄 Ron’s life-changing psilocybin ceremony: “I did this for you, not to you.”
🌿 Ayahuasca, suffering, forgiveness & learning to love unconditionally
🙏 God, Christ consciousness, AA, and what it really means to surrender
🔥 Oxidative stress, supplements, and the real cost of an unhealed brain
💓 Why love + nervous system safety are the ultimate medicines

If you’ve ever wondered how trauma shows up in your brainwaves, why talk therapy alone sometimes isn’t enough, or how psychedelics and God can both belong in the same healing conversation… this one is for you.

In this episode of Sex, Drugs, & Soul, Kristin sits down with her longtime classmate Emily Bonds — now a sober mom of two, pageant titleholder, and outspoken advocate for breaking the stigma around addiction, alcohol, and mental health.

Emily shares:

  • How anxiety, perfectionism, and pressure to “belong” led her to start drinking in college
  • The slow slide from “weekend warrior” to drinking 6–8 drinks a day as a new mom
  • The night in a Denver hotel when she woke up glued to a bathroom floor and heard God clearly speak: “Are you done yet?”
  • Why sobriety didn’t magically make life easy — grief, mental health breaks, and big emotions still came
  • How pageants became an unlikely tool for healing, confidence, and amplifying her message of recovery and hope

We talk about body image, “iPad kids,” mom guilt, faith, shame, the marketing of Big Alcohol, and what it actually looks like to rebuild your life after you decide you’re done.

Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just questioning your relationship with alcohol, this conversation is a gentle but honest mirror.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

  • Sobriety as a spiritual experience, not just a “bad habit” you quit
  • Using faith and friendship instead of wine to cope
  • Parenting differently when you grew up with yelling, pressure, and fear
  • Pageants as a platform for purpose (and not just pretty dresses)
  • How to support a friend who decides to stop drinking

In this powerful episode of Sex, Drugs, & Soul, Kristin sits down with sexuality and mental health expert Ann Russo to unravel the deep imprint of religious trauma, purity culture, and shame — and explore how to reclaim authentic, embodied sexuality.

Together, they talk about:

  • What religious trauma actually is
  • How shame gets stored in the body (even after your beliefs change)
  • Purity culture, “good girl” conditioning & the suppression of desire
  • Releasing inherited beliefs: Is this mine or generational?
  • Exploring ethical non-monogamy, jealousy & communication
  • BDSM, kink & why conscious power play can be deeply healing
  • Pleasure as therapy, bodywork, & nervous system repair
  • How to rebuild self-worth, authenticity & sexual freedom

Whether you grew up in the Bible Belt, purity culture, or learned to shrink and silence your sensuality... this conversation is a breath of rebellion, truth, and liberation.

You get this episode. 😂🔥

In today’s conversation, Kristen Chicol and I dive into:

  • What creativity actually is (and how we’ve both been redefining it)
  • Creative blocks + the pressure to “pick a lane”
  • Why curiosity is the antidote to self-judgment
  • Comedy as the scariest and truest art form
  • What working backstage in live music teaches you about humanity
  • Past life regressions, North Nodes, and soul purpose
  • The power of being witnessed, seen, and supported creatively
  • Why authenticity vibrates higher than love (yes, really)
  • How everything in your life — even the hard shit — is serving your art

This episode is about returning to yourself, allowing play back in, honoring your seasons, and remembering that your creativity is a sacred act of self-love.

If you’ve ever felt blocked, stuck, overwhelmed by life, or unsure what your “thing” is — this episode will feel like a warm hug, a cosmic wink, and a kick in the ass all at once.

🎧 Listen in, laugh with us, cry with us, and remember: You are allowed to reinvent yourself at any moment.

That’s where their soul expands.” - Kim Hodous

In this heartfelt conversation, Kristin and Kim Hodous explore the emotional journey of grief, particularly after the loss of Kim's son, Rob, to fentanyl poisoning. While Kim has spoken for large corporations like Walmart and Toyota, she now shares her journey of speaking to her son on the other side.

- Writing a book together

We don’t have life all figured out, but we sure do have a fun time chatting about our journeys.

Join us as we share and explore... 

— finding love, stepping into the unknown, & following her heart to live in Mexico

— navigating cultural and language differences in a new country

— the unique ways we nurture our plants 😆

— connecting and shifting the narrative with our menstrual cycles

— sex magick, orgasms, and feeling safe in our bodies and in partnership

— healing and rebalancing feminine energy

— greeting anguish, discontent, or lack of clarity with love

— living in love and how we create deeper empathy for ourselves and others

— what forgiveness means and looks like for us

Brene Brown Ted Talk:

https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability?language=en

Ho'oponopono Prayer:
“I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you.”

Traci is a free spirit wanderlust who followed her dreams, and love, to a small town at the tip of the Baja Sur. She is a lover of exploration, nature, and plants, some would call her “La Loca de Las Plantas”, however using “Plant Mother" is just the same. She is a woman of magic, a crystal collector, and deep in her bones, she is a Sanadora de Shakti.

In 2015, Traci began to feel this shift within that forced her out of her comfort zone and into the unknown of healing. Her journey of healing hasn’t been easy, and many times she felt hopeless, but she kept going because somehow she knew there was a lighter place she deserved to be.

In June of 2019, Traci went to a yoga teacher training which became the catalyst for her spiritual awakening. Since then, Traci has become a certified Vipassana meditation practitioner, ventured into the world of herbal and plant medicine, and has opened her heart to continual improvement within.

One of the many goals Traci has set for herself is to help heal the collective; because in her heart, she feels if we all come together as one, slowly removing the layers and masks that hide our scars, we can take fear from the equation and see one another through the light of love.

Heads up, this conversation does explore sexual harassment and assault.

In this episode, Natalie and I explore…

  • the inspiration behind her film, Annie Shared Her Location, and the use of real women’s sexual assault and harassment stories
  • her research process while writing the script as well as the overall project timeline
  • creativity as a catalyst for conversation, change, and catharsis
  • societal pressures on women to perform, look, or feel a certain way
  • honoring and communicating boundaries with partners
  • healing shame through the sharing of stories and movement
  • weaving empowering sex work stories into our next creative projects

Natalie Ava Nasr is a Saudi-born Lebanese and Danish actress and filmmaker based in London. Some of her recent acting work includes HBO’s comedy show ‘Avenue 5’ and Sony’s ‘Horizon Forbidden West’. Although today we are here to talk about her latest film which she wrote, directed, and acted in entitled Annie Shared Her Location. A short docu-narrative based on different women’s experiences with gender based violence. The film is poignant with several high profile attacks against women in the last couple of years, and will certainly be difficult viewing for many. We acknowledge that this content may be difficult and we encourage you to care for your safety and well-being.

As a young boy, Ayo moved to a small town in East Texas from Nigeria and was thrust into a contrasting life. This experience molded who he is as a person and birthed his approach to interacting with people and reading energies, both in front of and behind the lens.

Curiosity led him to photography, and since his start in 2017, his work has been featured in eleven fashion publications.

Ayo is a truth hunter… a story seeker. He believes imperfection is beauty and values vulnerability. He recognizes how stories shape identity and how they evolve over time. Yet, photography offers the opportunity to capture the honesty of a single present moment. In his work, Ayo strives to express the authentic truths in each present moment, a vulnerability that creates community in art and cultivates a sense of belonging through story.

This is a powerful episode for creative expression. Ayo opens up about:

— how his photography journey began

— using a negative comment as fuel for his creative passion

— going all in & dating his art while sharpening his skills

— his approach to comparison & celebrating growth

— allowing inspiration to happen vs looking for it

— trusting & jumping into action without feeling “100% ready”

— discerning intention before posting on social media

— how following and nurturing creativity has increased his empathy & awareness

— how taking photos built compassion and a belief that everybody has a story

— his advice on following creative urges

Who am I and What is Sex, Drugs, & Soul? I'm Kristin Birdwell - a best-selling author and creative guide.

This podcast is a love child and a by-product of my memoir, Sex, Drugs, & Soul. And since the story in that book ended in 2019, I’ve experienced a lot of growth and insights that I’d love to share... as well as continue to grow and explore my curiosity within the realms of Sex...Drugs...Soul.

Writing the book strengthened my self-connection, ignited intimacy with myself, and evolved my creative, spiritual, and sexual expression. For years, I felt like I had to separate or choose the spiritual life or human experiences I enjoyed that didn’t seem to be one and of the same thing at the time. 

I believe we can have a playful and fulfilling human adventure and an expansive soul-growth experience. On this pod, I intend to empower expression, heal sexual shame, and integrate sexuality with spirituality by sharing vulnerable solo and collaborative conversations.
