The Life Stylist

Curious about building a healthy, intentional relationship with cannabis? In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Sprague, founder of the Conscious Cannabis Collective, as he explains how cannabis can be used as a true tool for connection, healing, and transformation. Ryan breaks down major misconceptions around cannabis, how different consumption methods impact us, and how to integrate the downloads plant medicine offers. We also dig into the evolution of cannabis strains and how cultivation practices influence the plant’s effects. He shares valuable insights into the legal landscape, too. Tune in if you’re ready to connect with cannabis intentionally.

Flipping the chairs on our recent epic conversation on The Life Stylist episode 548, Beth Martens and I sat down to chat on her show, the King Hero’s Journey.

Spirituality was a central theme of our conversation—specifically how prayer, connecting with a higher power, and the application of timeless spiritual principles helped me to reach maturity and laid the foundation for me to begin working consciously with psychedelic medicines.

I share how they helped me thaw out some frozen patterns of intimacy dysfunction, and why I retain a healthy respect for them.

Our chat is bookended by our thoughts about where we are as a culture and our assessment of where humanity is headed as duality seems to be getting more and more intense.

We conclude that despite how the media can warp our perceptions of what’s true, the capacity to break free of our programming and raise our level of consciousness might have never been greater than it is in this moment.

This past fall equinox, I sat down with Cal Callahan to talk about the process of writing my first book.

There was a lot to unpack, including the question of why am I writing the book in the first place. I talk about how my motivation changed along the way (with a little nudge from the fungus kingdom). I also touch on how the mainstream publishing world functions in an age of censorship and cancellation.

Then, we move into the chapter I’m writing about childhood abuse and wrestling with my karmic entanglement with the perpetrator. The conversation wraps up with a challenge from the live audience for me—and perhaps for men in general—to be less self-sufficient and to reach out for support when we’re going through big stuff.

In this deeply personal episode, my wife Alyson Charles Storey joins me as we open up about some recent challenges and discoveries we’ve been navigating. From taking full-body health scans at Prenuvo to Alyson’s discovery of lumps in her breast, we share how we faced our fears and took proactive steps for our health. We also reflect on the emotional journey of saying goodbye to our beloved cat, Jellybean, and how we honored his life. Join us as we discuss navigating uncertainty, grief, and the inevitable truths of life. Check out prenuvo.com/lukestorey for $300 off a whole-body scan.

In my 2024 guest appearance on Ryan Sprague's amazing podcast, I talked about my letting go of the addict label after 22 years of sobriety. We ponder the unequivocal value of complete abstinence from mind and mood altering chemicals alongside the recognition that certain substances can actually help people break free from addiction. Along the way, we uncover some truths about the founding of the Twelve-Step movement that might surprise you.
