Sex, Drugs, & Soul
Welcome to Sex, Drugs, & Soul—where the sacred gets spicy, the healing gets real, and the self-discovery comes with a side of mischief. I’m Kristin Birdwell—author, mystic, tantrika, story doula, and professional line-blurrer between the profane and the profound.
For years, I thought I had to choose between my wild, rebellious nature and my deep spiritual calling. Turns out, the magic happens when we embrace and integrate the two. This podcast is where we break the rules, shed the shame, and get intimate with our truth—whether that’s through soul-stirring conversations, sensual exploration, or the occasional existential crisis (served with a wink and a cocktail).
I bring you raw stories, deep wisdom, and unfiltered conversations with fellow seekers, healers, and pleasure revolutionaries. We’re talking spirituality, sexuality, self-expression, and all the beautifully messy things that make us human.
So, if you’re ready to rewrite the story, drop the ‘shoulds,’ and live a life that turns you on—welcome. Let’s get wild, raw, and soulfully reclaimed.
