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

Have a question or comment? Send it to Kristin!Amy Edwards and I start this episode discussing the most Austin way possible to meet someone… at a pussy 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. By the end of this convo, Amy and I were high on life... no substances required.  Timestamps:00:00: Our pussy casting workshop meet cute04:00: Sex as validation: decades of performing without knowing it07:00: The Molly night that changed everything (& why she chose intimacy over polyamory)15:00: Four years sober: the dopamine truth nobody tells you22:00: Sober sex and the first play party nervous breakdown38:00: Psychedelics, mescaline in Guatemala, and integration that takes months41:00: Losing her literal voice during divorce... and healing it45:00: Showing up on Instagram: the viral pile-on, the wardrobe room, the commitment anyway55:00: Treat life as an experimentConnect with Amy:Sign up for her newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/amyedwards/sign-up-to-amys-newsletterhttps://amyedwards.info/ Website: www.amyedwards.comFight for Her https://www.fightfortheforgotten.org/fight-for-herInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/realamyedwardsTikTok:⁠⁠⁠   https://www.tiktok.com/@themagicbabeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/theamyedwardsshowThe Amy Edwards Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5SdojmuUpXfksyQD8gbXJm?si=ad0825df9ac84f55Support the showConnect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramFacebook YouTubeKristin’s Book:Sex, Drugs, & Soul Spotify AudiobookSubscribe:YouTubeSpotifyApplePeptides:Oral Quicksilver GHK/Copper Peptidehttps://elliemd.com/kristinbirdwellMicrodose 🍄 https://myfeelium.co/password: opensesameCode: kristin20 for 20% off
