    Vulva Portraits, Womb Wisdom, & Reclaiming Female Pleasure | Khadoma Colomby

    What happens when a woman stops viewing her body through everyone else’s eyes and begins seeing herself as art? In this episode, I’m joined by ritual artist and pleasure weaver Khadoma Colomby to talk about p***y portraits, healing sexual shame, erotic embodiment, womb wisdom, and what it means to reclaim the parts of ourselves we were taught to hide. Khadoma shares how she transforms images of women’s vulvas into deeply personal works of art and how the process becomes a ritual of reconnecting with a part of the body many women have been taught to hide, judge, change, or reserve for someone else’s pleasure. We explore how women become disconnected from their bodies, why fully expressed women can be so confronting, and what changes when a woman begins treating her pleasure, sexuality, and life-force energy as her own. Khadoma also shares her simple three-song Tending Your Turn-On practice, designed to help you reconnect with your emotional landscape, awaken sensuality through self-touch, and invite more energy and pleasure into your day. Enjoy, darlin'.  Timestamps: 00:00 — Feminine Reclamation 01:30 — Khadoma’s Journey Into the Divine Feminine 03:00 — The Inspiration Behind the Portraits 05:17 — The Holy Harlot and Reclaiming Sexuality 06:15 — Healing Shame Through Ritual and Art 11:37 — Eros, Consent, and Listening to the Body 13:23 — Erotic Energy as Life Force 14:53 — The Three-Song Tending Your Turn-On Practice 17:25 — Pleasure, Magnetism, and Embodiment 20:33 — Why Fully Expressed Women Are Confronting 23:42 — Untaming Women’s Emotional Wilderness 24:49 — Women Aren’t Meant to Be the Same Every Day 28:10 — What to Do When You Feel Disconnected 29:33 — Womb Wisdom and the Inner Temple 31:21 — Menstrual Cycles, Relationships, and Perimenopause 33:00 — Fertility, Aging, and the Body’s Timeline 35:08 — Reclaiming Sexuality in Midlife and Beyond 37:17 — Fun and Spicy Lightning Round Connect with Khadoma: Website: https://www.khadomacolomby.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/khadoma_colomby/ Support the show Connect with Kristin: Website Instagram Facebook YouTube Kristin’s Book: Sex, Drugs, & Soul Spotify Audiobook Subscribe: YouTube Spotify Apple Peptides: Oral Quicksilver GHK/Copper Peptide https://elliemd.com/kristinbirdwell Microdose 🍄 https://myfeelium.co/ password: opensesame Code: kristin20 for 20% off

    From Submissive to Dominatrix | Temptress Pixie on BDSM, Pegging, & Power Exchange

    This week, I chat with Temptress Pixie, erotic writer, kink educator, dominatrix, and open relationship expert, to explore a world that's often misunderstood. We talked about BDSM, power exchange, pegging, tantra, conscious domination, submission, nervous system regulation, and how kink can become a profound path toward healing. Whether you're deeply immersed in kink or curious about why so many people find freedom through conscious power dynamics, this conversation goes way beyond whips and chains. We also get into... • how she accidentally discovered BDSM through Rihanna's S&M song • the surprising journey from lifelong submissive to dominatrix • why communication is the sexiest foreplay • how fantasy conversations can strengthen relationships • what tantra and BDSM actually have in common • why pegging carries so much unnecessary shame • how play helps us reconnect with parts of ourselves we've forgotten • and why pleasure, healing, and spirituality might all be speaking the same language. As always...take what resonates, leave the rest, and stay curious.

    The Truth About Ayahuasca: Psychedelic Trauma, Nervous System, & Integration | Francesca Barone

    On this pod, I chat with Francesca Barone for one of the most unexpectedly grounding conversations around psychedelics and healing.

    Sober Sex, Psychedelics, & Finding Bliss in the Ordinary | Amy Edwards

    Amy Edwards and I start this episode discussing the most Austin way possible to meet someone… at a p***y casting workshop. 😂  But from there, we dive DEEP into sobriety, psychedelics, emotional availability, intimacy, dopamine, performance, reinvention, and what it means to feel alive without constantly chasing the next high. Amy opens up about cheating in past marriages, seeking validation through sex and alcohol, exploring polyamory, healing through psychedelics, and ultimately discovering that what she truly wanted wasn't more experiences… it was deeper intimacy. We also talk: sober sex & intimacy: the terror, the awkwardness, & the beautydopamine depletion & alcohol women reinventing themselves later in life learning to trust yourself finding bliss in ordinary moments growth through discomfort psychedelics: 5-MeO DMT & ayahuasca social media visibility + hate comments It's funny. It's real. It may lovingly call out the thing you've been calling a spiritual practice when it's actually just avoidance. 🎧Press play.

    Alexa Bowditch gets into what happens to a relationship when life hits hard... loss, motherhood, hormone imbalances, and identity shifts. We talk about: • navigating grief and miscarriage inside a marriage • what “don't leave the table” really means in long-term relationships • how postpartum hormones impact libido, mood, and connection • rebuilding intimacy after a baby when you don’t feel like yourself • scheduling sex (and yes, building a sex dungeon 👀) • GLP-1 microdosing, metabolic health, and hormone regulation • PT-141 and the truth about low libido in women • the connection between hormones, the nervous system, and desire This isn’t surface-level relationship advice.
