Sex, Drugs, & Soul
Welcome to Sex, Drugs, & Soul, where the sacred gets spicy, the growth 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 rebel-spirited human desires or my deep spiritual calling. Yet, the magic happens when we embrace and integrate the two.
On this podcast, we break the rules, shed the shame, and get intimate with our truth through soul-stirring conversations, sensual exploration, and the occasional existential crisis, served with a wink and an occasional microdose.
I bring raw stories, deep wisdom, and unfiltered conversations with fellow seekers, sensual enthusiasts, experts, and pleasure revolutionaries. We’re talking spirituality, sexuality, self-expression, 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 to get wild, raw, & reclaimed.

32. Lesson From a Modern-Day Caveman
In this conversation, Kristin shares a story about encountering a modern-day caveman in a ghost town in West Texas. This experience leads her to reflect on the importance of following one's inner directive and living an authentic life. She explores the challenges of accessing the inner directive in a noisy and consumer-driven world. Kristin discusses the power of questioning beliefs and seeking truth, as well as the need to live a life that others may not understand. She encourages listeners to embrace change and growth, beat to their own drum, and cultivate presence and trust in their instincts. Kristin also suggests implementing body-based practices and journaling as tools for self-reflection and getting in touch with the inner guide.
