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, 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.

89. Conscious Kink 101: Kimi Inch on Awakening Erotic Energy & Leading with Heart
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“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.
