Deep Funny Dirty

Aiua Wild | Adam Riehl

Deep, Funny, Dirty explores the beautiful chaos of being human—where depth, humor, and raw honesty all meet. Each conversation dances between the soulful and the silly, the wise and the wildly imperfect. It’s the stuff we think, feel, laugh about — and sometimes rarely say out loud. Unfiltered, heartfelt, and a little mischievous, this podcast reminds us that growth and laughter often come from the same messy, marvelous place.

    DFD # 13 | Meeting Myself in the Darkness

    This episode was originally recorded for Journey of the Modern Soul and has been brought into the Deep Funny Dirty world as part of the evolution of this work. A few years ago, I found myself circling an idea that both pulled me in and freaked me out a little: darkness therapy. Not the metaphorical kind… the real, sit-in-complete-darkness-for-days kind. It took time, a lot of questioning, and some honest self-inquiry to figure out whether this was something true for me or just something that sounded intense and interesting. Eventually, I said yes to a 5-day darkness sit. In this episode, Aiua Wild joins me to unpack that experience through a Deep Funny Dirty lens. We get into what actually happens when the lights go out, what comes up when there is nothing to distract you, and how confronting, strange, and unexpectedly humorous it can be to sit with yourself in that kind of space. We talk about the challenges, the mental loops, the moments of clarity, and the kind of growth that does not come from trying to fix yourself, but from actually being with what is there. It is deep. It is a little weird. There are moments that are funny in that “well, here we are” kind of way. And like most things worth exploring, it is not about the darkness itself. It is about what you find when you stop running from it.

    DFD #12 | From Survival to Sovereign w/ Shalise Poulton

    This episode explores Shalise’s transformation from a life shaped by disconnection and survival into one rooted in embodiment, self-trust, and sovereignty. After a difficult marriage and years of seeking validation through relationships and sex, she found herself deeply disconnected from her body and identity. Patterns of numbing and external validation led to a breaking point that sparked a profound spiritual awakening and a new direction forward. Through her journey, Shalise reflects on the difference between using intimacy to fill a void and learning to reconnect with the body in a conscious, grounded way. Her introduction to tantra became a turning point, not as a surface-level idea of sexuality, but as a path of awareness, healing, and integration. Themes of shame, power, identity, and self-worth run throughout this conversation, along with the courage it takes to step away from old patterns. Shalise shares what it has meant to embrace celibacy, reconnect with her body, and cultivate a sense of wholeness from within. This is a story of reclamation. From disconnection to embodiment. From survival to sovereignty.

    DFD #11 | How We Keep Going w/ Wendy Townsend

    In this episode, we sit down with Wendy for a real and honest conversation about loss, grief, and what it means to keep living when something changes everything. This is not about having the perfect answer. It is about being willing to stay present with what is hard, to feel what is real, and to recognize that no one is meant to go through it alone. With Wendy, we explore the quiet signs people miss, the weight people carry behind the scenes, and the importance of connection before things reach a breaking point. There is honesty here about addiction, mental health, and the limits of trying to fix someone you love. There is also a deeper look at responsibility, compassion, and what support can actually look like in real life. This episode is a reminder that awareness is not just information. It is attention. It is checking in. It is being willing to listen without trying to solve everything. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. You do not have to navigate it by yourself. This is a conversation about staying, about choosing to keep going, and about how small moments of connection can matter more than we realize.

    DFD #10 | Choosing Life After Alcohol w/ Lauren Fay

    In this episode of Deep Funny Dirty, Adam and Aiua sit down with Lauren Fay to talk about her book Blurred Lines and the story behind it. Through Blurred Lines, Lauren shares her journey from the edge of not wanting to be alive to choosing sobriety and everything that came after. What starts as a conversation about the book opens into something much bigger. The reality of rebuilding your life, learning how to trust yourself again, and facing the parts of you that alcohol once helped hide. Together, they explore the messy middle that does not get talked about enough. The part where sobriety does not feel like relief, where it can feel like loss, confusion, and starting over. They unpack identity shifts, emotional regulation, and the challenge of creating a life that actually feels aligned. The conversation also touches on language and labels, the role of community, and why you do not have to hit rock bottom to make a change. Lauren shares the perspective that drives her work today. Recovery rooted in choice, self attunement, and the belief that you can build something better for yourself. This episode is honest, grounded, and at times unexpectedly funny. A real conversation about what it means to face yourself, rewrite your story, and come back to life on your own terms.

    DFD #9 | Spiritual Practice Meets Real Relationships w/ Zoë Kors & Andrew

    In this episode of Deep Funny Dirty, Adam and Aiua sit down with Zoë and Andrew to explore what happens when spirituality meets real-life relationship. Their story begins with an unexpected connection. After more than a decade single, Zoë met Andrew online and was intrigued by his background in Zen training and the grounded way he approached communication, boundaries, and partnership. What followed was a relationship shaped not by fantasy, but by practice. Together they discuss how Buddhist principles, mindfulness, and personal responsibility influence the way they navigate intimacy, conflict, and growth as a couple. The conversation moves through topics like emotional regulation, compassion, and the ways spiritual practice can show up in everyday life rather than just on a meditation cushion. They also explore how anger, dopamine, and human psychology influence our behavior, and how awareness can transform reactive patterns into opportunities for understanding. From road rage to relationship conflict, the discussion looks at how mindfulness can interrupt the cycle of suffering and open space for compassion. Along the way, Zoë and Andrew reflect on balancing personal goals, health challenges, aging, and the ongoing work of supporting each other while still maintaining individual paths.

    DFD #8 | Living with Artificial Intelligence w/ Steve Wimmer

    In this episode of Deep Funny Dirty, Adam and Aiua sit down with tech policy insider Steve Wimmer to explore one of the biggest conversations of our time. What is AI really, and how is it shaping the world around us? Steve breaks down what Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models actually are in clear, accessible language. No sci-fi hype. No mystical sentience. Just powerful statistical systems trained on large amounts of data. From there, the conversation expands into how these systems are used, how they are funded, and how they may continue to evolve. Together, they explore the practical benefits of AI alongside the broader questions it raises. Why are these platforms designed to encourage engagement? How are companies thinking about monetization? What happens when innovation moves faster than regulation? And how do lawmakers attempt to balance technological progress with individual rights? Adam and Aiua also touch on copyright, digital identity, biometric data, and the growing legal discussions around who owns your likeness, your voice, and your creative work. Rather than leaning into fear or blind optimism, this episode stays grounded in curiosity and honest inquiry. At its core, this conversation is about understanding the systems being built around us and considering how we want to participate in them. AI is already part of daily life for many of us. The real question is how we engage with it thoughtfully. Insightful, balanced, and accessible, this Deep Funny Dirty episode invites you to step back, ask better questions, and think more clearly about the technology shaping our future.

    DFD #7 | When Pleasure Becomes Presence w/ Ean Wood

    In this episode of Deep, Funny, Dirty, co-hosts Adam and Aiua sit down with Ean for an honest, embodied conversation about pleasure. What it is, why it matters, and why so many of us struggle to fully receive it. Together, they explore pleasure beyond performance and chasing peak moments, focusing instead on presence, attention, and nervous system regulation. The discussion weaves through self-pleasure, sexuality, and brain chemistry, including how different internal states can influence creativity, emotional openness, confidence, and connection. Ean shares his personal journey through sobriety, men’s work, and redefining pleasure as something sacred, slow, and integrated into everyday life. They unpack how shame forms around sexuality, how it quietly shapes behavior, and how conscious pleasure practices can help unwind it—without pressure, performance, or outcomes. This episode is an invitation to reclaim pleasure as a skill rather than a chase. To stay present with sensation, emotion, and desire. And to explore how expanding our relationship with pleasure can ripple into intimacy, creativity, and how we show up in the world.

    DFD #6 | Soul Partnership: Loving Beyond the Rules w/ Jared & Laurie Archbold

    What if your relationship wasn’t meant to complete you—but to awaken you? In this episode of Deep, Funny, Dirty, we sit down with Jared and Laurie Archbold for a raw, spacious conversation about what they call soul partnership—a way of relating that prioritizes the soul’s unfolding over comfort, convention, or certainty. Beginning with the question “What is a soul relationship, really?”, the conversation moves into lived experience: tending one’s own soul inside partnership, honoring individual paths, and allowing relationship itself to become a third living entity with its own purpose and call to service. Jared and Laurie share vulnerably about the moments that tested everything—separation, near-divorce, opening their marriage, and standing in love even when the future was completely unclear. Rather than centering romance as rescue, they explore devotion as integrity: keeping one’s word, choosing presence, and supporting a partner’s becoming—even when it hurts. Have you ever felt the tension between love and freedom, certainty and mystery, devotion and self-trust. It’s an invitation to rethink “normal,” to listen for the deeper tether beneath relationship roles, and to ask a braver question: How do we love in a way that serves the soul—ours, theirs, and the world’s?
