Send us a textIn this episode of Sex, Drugs, and Soul, I talk with stand-up comedian Tony Casillas about the courage it takes to be funny when the truth isn't always comfortable.We unpack how personal experiences, from strict religious upbringings to flawed sex education, inform the jokes comedians tell and the deeper truths behind them.

Eleanor Evans Medina is a formally trained marriage and family therapist turned spiritual teacher. A nature lover, an avid meditator, and a manifestor. She is a mindset, business, and somatic coach. A writer, a death doula, a sister, a friend, and the CEO of The Makaranda Method. Watch the episode here. Summary In this conversation, Eleanor and Kristin explore themes surrounding death, grief, and the human experience. They discuss the role of psychedelics in understanding mortality, the importance of connecting with ancestry and spirituality, and the healing power of nature. Eleanor shares her journey towards becoming a spiritual teacher and the ethical considerations of writing, especially in the age of AI. The conversation culminates in a reflection on the power of song and storytelling as a means of connection and healing. Takeaways Death is a universal experience, and exploring our curiosity and understanding of death can lead to personal growth and spiritual insights. Psychedelics can provide insights into our understanding of death. Reconnecting with nature is essential for our well-being and can provide valuable teachings and reminders of our interconnectedness. Connecting with our ancestors can enrich our spiritual journey. Licensing as a therapist may have limitations, and there are alternative paths, such as being a spiritual teacher, that allow for a more holistic and global approach to healing. Using AI to write books raises questions about the integrity and authenticity of the content. Writing should come from a place of authenticity and integrity. Personal experience and expertise are essential in writing and teaching on a specific topic. Birthing one's story is an act of self-love and can be a transformative journey.

I met Samantha Charles at a yoni casting ceremony. Yes, you read that right! It was such a beautifully connective and healing experience, and I am grateful she accepted the invitation to come on the podcast! In this episode, Samantha shares her journey into the realm of sacred sexuality and how she intertwines the divine and the taboo through science, spirituality, and sacred sex. We also chat about healing the feminine, spiritual bypassing, the importance of somatic practices, cycle tracking, and yoni casting ceremonies as a way to release shame, increase confidence, and step into more profound love and acceptance. Connect with Sam: Instagram Website Grow As We Go Podcast Takeaways Healing happens in the body, and somatic work is essential for this process. Integrating science and spirituality can provide a more holistic understanding of the world. Education and knowledge about the body and sexuality are crucial for personal growth and well-being. Challenging societal taboos and misconceptions around topics like sex and the female cycle is necessary for empowerment and self-discovery. Natural birth control involves understanding the different phases of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation is the peak of the cycle and a time of energy and outward expression. The luteal phase is a time of transition and introspection. Tracking and being in relationship with one's cycle is important for understanding and honoring the body. The Yoni casting kit is a tool for connecting with and honoring the body. We are all different and beautiful in our own unique ways.

Connect with Ella: Website: ellaparlor.com Instagram: @ellayourbella Podcast: Eavesdrop with Ella YouTube: Eavesdrop with Ella High Tolerance on Amazon Takeaways: Questioning our relationship with alcohol and being mindful of our drinking habits is important. Having open conversations about alcohol can lead to a better understanding and healthier habits. Books have the power to live on and spread a message even after the author is gone. Writing about personal experiences can be challenging, especially when it involves family members who may have different perspectives. Being open and authentic about one's faith can lead to backlash and judgment, but it is important to stay true to oneself. Understanding and accepting different beliefs is crucial for fostering empathy and compassion. Embracing one's own humanness, including flaws and failures, can lead to personal growth and a deeper connection with others. Integrity and self-awareness are essential in navigating life and establishing personal boundaries. Trusting one's gut and recognizing physical well-being are crucial for making sound decisions. Surrendering to a higher power and accepting differences in beliefs and preferences can lead to a more fulfilling life. Humility is important in acknowledging our limited knowledge and understanding. Monogamy and polyamory are personal choices, and it's important to find what works best for you. Attachment styles can change depending on the person and the dynamics of the relationship. Being authentic and honest about our experiences can help others feel less alone and navigate their own journeys. Our sex lives have a significant impact on society, and it's important to consider the consequences of our actions and make choices that prioritize kindness and empathy.

A snippet from Chapter 12 in Sex, Drugs, & Soul. Summary In this conversation, Kristin reflects on her journey of self-discovery and breaking free from a toxic relationship. She explores themes of self-worth, inner desires, and the courage to choose a different path. Through her introspection, she realizes the importance of being true to oneself and the detrimental effects of constantly seeking validation from others. Ultimately, she questions her identity and worthiness, paving the way for a new chapter in her life. Takeaways Toxic relationships can hinder personal growth and self-expression. Numbing emotions with substances and external experiences only perpetuates the cycle of discontent. Choosing oneself and pursuing personal desires is essential for true happiness.
