Spiritually Kinky: Creating the Path to Being Fully Seen, Deeply Felt & Wildly Free
Spiritually Kinky is a podcast about conscious creation, personal transformation, nervous system awareness, and reclaiming your authentic identity.
Hosted by Dustin Lea Wheeler, this show explores how to break inherited patterns, move beyond self-sabotage, and create a life aligned with who you truly are.
Dustin teaches the shift from living as the oldest version of your past self into the youngest version of your future self, helping listeners recognize the “Not-It Identity”—the survival identity formed in childhood to belong and stay safe—and step into their creative power.
But this isn’t your typical self-improvement podcast.
Welcome to Spiritually Kinky—the playground for your wild soul and untamed truth.
Here we ditch the masks, question old conditioning, and remember how powerful it is to be fully seen, deeply felt, and wildly free.
Around here we explore:
• Conscious creation & creator identity
• Breaking inherited patterns and generational conditioning
• Nervous system awareness and emotional intelligence
• Purpose, power, pleasure, and authentic self-expression
All with a wink… and a whip of wisdom.
If you’re ready to stop fixing yourself and start creating the life you were meant to live, welcome to the Spiritually Kinky revolution with Dustin Lea Wheeler. - it's time to play!
All with a wink… and a whip of wisdom.

Your Nervous System Has a Shadow Kink (And It Was Born Out of Love)
If you keep repeating the same patterns in relationships, money, work, or self-worth—this episode will change how you see yourself forever.
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of Shadow Kinks—the unconscious instructions your nervous system formed out of love to keep you safe, connected, and alive… even when those instructions are now outdated and costing you what you actually want.
You’ll learn:
- What a shadow kink really is (and why it’s not something to shame or “heal away”
- How shadow kinks form from unmet needs + survival love
- Why so much of the spiritual and healing world is actually stuck in spiritual bypassing
- How shaming or blaming your patterns keeps them locked in place
- Why integration—not “rising above”—is the real path to change
We explore two of the most common shadow kinks in depth:
- The Fixer (including the “Good Girl” instruction)
- The Hustler (where hustle = safety and rest feels dangerous)
You’ll also discover:
- How shadow kinks show up in love, money, leadership, and the bosses you end up working for
- The hidden superpowers each shadow kink contains
- How awareness allows you to begin updating unconscious instructions—without force, fixing, or shame
This episode is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you were before survival ran the show.
✨ No spiritual cosplay.
✨ No emotional bypassing.
