44. Sacred Sex Ed with Author, Intimacy Mentor, & Muse Leola Artwork

Sex, Drugs, & Soul

Hey there! I’m Kristin Birdwell, and welcome to the Sex, Drugs, & Soul podcast! I’m an author, seeker, and mystic exploring where the sacred meets the everyday. For years, I thought my spiritual journey had to be separate from my human experiences, but what I’ve learned is that true growth happens when we embrace both.

This podcast is a space where I bring you along on that journey. Whether I’m flying solo or chatting with fellow seekers, self-healers, and sensual explorers, we’ll dive into the sweet spot where spirituality, sexuality, and self-expression meet. It’s all about living fully, embracing every part of who we are, and having some fun along the way.

If you’re ready to explore, expand, and embrace all that you are, come on this adventure with me. I can’t wait to share this with you!

44. Sacred Sex Ed with Author, Intimacy Mentor, & Muse Leola

July 08, 2024 • Kristin Birdwell • Season 2 • Episode 1

Leola is the author of Sacred Sex Ed, which launches TODAY. Buy it here.

I initially discovered Leola at an Austin Tantra Festival, and I was so drawn to her energy. She later popped up on a women’s group chat, which led me to her pleasure priestess training. I love how Leola shows up and what she offers in the world. On one of her recent podcast episodes, she posed a potent question… How can I be evidence of what’s possible?

Listen and discover what is possible for yourself!

Some of my favorite quotes...

"Everyone's expression of sexual liberation can look very different."
"Approaching sexuality with intention, empowerment, and reverence."
"Sexuality is a powerful energy that can be used for creation, pleasure, and spiritual growth."
"Pleasure is an altered state of consciousness."
"Before getting into an altered state, consider your desires, fears, and boundaries."
"Wine, beer, and spirits have been used for thousands of years as part of ritual practice."

We also explore…
