This episode is a deep exploration of purpose, initiation, and what it truly means to live in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. I’m joined by Tim Corcoran, founder of Purpose Mountain and co-director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, whose life’s work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their soul-level calling through nature-based mentoring and rites of passage.

Tim shares his personal journey from a conventional path in computer science to a life shaped by wilderness immersion, indigenous wisdom, and long-term mentorship. We explore the cultural gap created by the absence of meaningful rites of passage in modern society, and how that absence often leads people to unconsciously create their own initiations through suffering, addiction, or crisis. Tim offers a radically different framework—one rooted in intentional initiation, deep nature connection, and guided vision quests that help individuals discover who they are and why they’re here.

We also dive into the mechanics and philosophy behind vision quests, including fasting, solitude, mindset, and the importance of preparation and integration. Tim explains why these experiences are not about endurance or bravado, but about presence, humility, and listening—both to oneself and to the living intelligence of the Earth. We talk about mentorship as a reciprocal relationship, resilience as a cultivated capacity, and how true healing often emerges from being witnessed over time rather than chasing peak experiences.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that purpose isn’t something we invent—it’s something we remember when we slow down, step outside, and allow life to speak back.

Fertility, chronic illness, and children’s health are colliding in ways we can no longer ignore, and this conversation brings much-needed clarity to what’s happening beneath the surface. In this episode, I’m joined by Ann Shippy, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician and functional medicine practitioner whose work is reshaping how we think about preconception, detoxification, and generational health.

We explore Dr. Shippy’s personal healing journey, from severe gut illness and infertility to a complete career pivot into medicine, and how that experience shaped her systems-based approach to root-cause healing. From there, we dig into the modern fertility crisis, including declining sperm counts, rising miscarriage rates, and the alarming increase in childhood chronic disease, autism, and autoimmunity.

This conversation centers on the preconception window, the months and years before pregnancy that determine the health of sperm, eggs, and ultimately future generations. We break down how toxins like mold, heavy metals, plastics, pesticides, and PFAS quietly damage mitochondria, hormones, and DNA, and why fertility challenges can be a powerful “check engine light” for deeper imbalances in the body.

We also get practical, covering environmental testing, detox strategies, and why gentle, well-supported detoxification matters more than aggressive protocols. Dr. Shippy explains how nutrition, minerals, glutathione, methylation, and nervous system regulation work together to restore resilience, whether you’re trying to conceive or simply aiming for long-term vitality.

If you’re thinking about having children, struggling with fertility, or concerned about the health trajectory of future generations, this episode offers both hope and a science-backed roadmap forward.

This episode explores one of the most charged and misunderstood topics in modern wellness: meat, ethics, and our relationship to life and death. I’m joined by Mansal Denton, founder of Real Provisions and creator of Sacred Hunting, for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about nourishment, stewardship, and responsibility in the natural world.

We dig into the realities of animal suffering across different food systems, including wild ecosystems, regenerative farming, and industrial agriculture. Mansal shares why ethical hunting, when done with precision, reverence, and intention, can result in less suffering than many people realize—and why modern food supply chains often hide uncomfortable truths behind marketing labels.

From there, the conversation moves into Mansal’s personal spiritual journey, including how Orthodox Christianity reshaped his understanding of food as a sacred act. We explore how ritual, beauty, and embodied spirituality intersect with ancient wisdom traditions, and why honoring life requires confronting discomfort rather than avoiding it.

We also unpack the nutritional and ecological case for wild game, particularly axis deer from Hawaii, including biodiversity, nutrient density, and population balance. Mansal explains how Real Provisions was born from a desire to feed his family—and future children—with food that aligns with both ethics and physiology.

This episode isn’t about telling you what to eat. It’s about asking better questions: Where does our food come from? What does it cost—physically, spiritually, and ecologically? And how might choosing with more awareness bring us back into right relationship with the world that feeds us.

Welcome to Part Two of the Best of The Life Stylist Podcast 2025. This episode is both a reflection and a deep thank-you to the listeners who continue to choose long-form conversation, nuance, and depth in a world built on distraction and noise.

In this curated collection, we revisit some of the most expansive and boundary-pushing conversations of the year—dialogues that venture into territory most shows won’t touch. You’ll hear Erwan Le Corre challenge modern fitness myths and reframe movement as a return to our humanity; Melissa Kupsch unpack the true nature of homeopathy and personal autonomy; and Jim Poole explain how NuCalm works at a neurological level to unlock calm and flow without decades of practice.

We also explore the sacred lineage of iboga with Tricia Eastman, question conventional narratives about Earth’s history with Mike Wilkerson, and reimagine money as energy and consciousness with Elizabeth Ralph.

The episode continues with candid conversations on censorship, sovereignty, food systems, ritual, and ancient memory—each pointing back to a central theme: thinking clearly, feeling deeply, and reclaiming authority over your own life.

As 2025 closes and we look toward a year of integration and embodiment, this episode is an invitation to ask better questions—and to carry what you’ve learned into lived experience.

We’re back with another AMA for this liminal, reflective space between Christmas and the New Year—a time when big questions tend to surface. In this episode, Alyson and I respond to a wide range of listener-submitted questions that span the deeply practical, the philosophical, and the cosmic.

We start with a sweeping question about what the next 50 years may hold for humanity, exploring themes like consciousness evolution, polarity, technology, AI, sovereignty, and whether progress is actually accelerating—or fragmenting us further. That conversation opens into reflections on free will, self-governance, spiritual maturity, and how discernment becomes essential in an increasingly noisy world.

From there, we shift gears into more specific listener curiosities, including how I’ve experimented with tools like NuCalm, meditation stacking, and sound frequencies—and what to be mindful of when working with altered states or nervous system regulation. We also unpack questions around longevity, quality of life versus lifespan, and why equanimity may be one of the most underrated spiritual skills of our time.

As always, the AMA format invites real-time exploration, tangents, humor, and unexpected insights—from road rage and nervous system dysregulation to regenerative agriculture, ethical food choices, and how small daily decisions reflect much larger spiritual principles.

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. These episodes are shaped by your curiosity, your honesty, and your willingness to ask what’s real. Keep them coming—we’re listening.

This is Part One of the Best of The Life Stylist Podcast 2025—a collection of conversations that didn’t just explore ideas, but fundamentally shifted the way I see reality, healing, and personal sovereignty.

This past year wasn’t about chasing trends or optimizing hacks. It was about remembering what’s real. Across hundreds of conversations, a few core themes kept rising to the surface again and again: consciousness, healing, sovereignty, and the courage to step outside inherited systems, whether biological, psychological, spiritual, or cultural.

In this episode, you’ll hear powerful moments from guests whose work challenged my assumptions and expanded my understanding. From Alex Wolfe’s journey from fear to flight and the intersection of ancient mushroom medicine with modern technology, to Philipp von Holtzendorff-Fehling and Ian Mitchell unpacking quantum energy, biofields, and measurable shifts in brainwave states that stretch the limits of what we think is possible.

We explore the intelligence of water with Paul Chek, dive into multidimensional identity and time with Jesse Elder, and ground things in the physical with Brandon Amalani as we examine EMF, PEMF, and what it truly means to heal the electromagnetic body in a hyper-connected world. You’ll also hear raw, honest reflections on addiction, boundaries, surrender, governance, belief systems, and the internal architecture of freedom, with voices like Elle Macpherson, Zach Leary, and others guiding the way.

We close this episode with something deeply personal; a tribute to my father, his late-life healing, and the love that continues beyond the body. This episode isn’t meant to convince you of anything. It’s meant to remind you of what you already know beneath the noise. Take what resonates, leave the rest, and thank you for walking this path with me.

This episode is a deep dive into the fascinating, often misunderstood world of light, and how profoundly it shapes our biology, energy, and overall health. I reconnect with Matt Maruca, founder and CEO of Ra Optics, to trace the unlikely origin story of his work and explore how his thinking around light, sunglasses, and circadian biology has evolved over the years.

We unpack why not all blue light is created equal, how modern artificial lighting disrupts hormones and stress responses, and why context, timing, and spectrum matter far more than simplistic “good vs. bad” narratives. Matt breaks down the difference between damaging short-wavelength blue light and the beneficial blue light that helps regulate circadian rhythms, while explaining why even helpful light can become harmful when it’s out of balance or stripped of near-infrared wavelengths.

We also explore how artificial environments like offices, big-box stores, cities, and screens create chronic stress at a cellular level, and why near-infrared light is essential for mitochondrial function, structured water in the body, and resilience against oxidative damage. Matt shares how his own relationship with sunlight has shifted away from extremes toward a more nuanced, biologically intelligent approach.

From forest canopies and chlorophyll to sunglasses, sunrise exposure, and next-generation lens technology, this conversation reframes how we think about light exposure in the modern world. If you want a more grounded, practical understanding of how to protect your eyes, support your nervous system, and work with your biology instead of against it, this episode delivers.

In this episode, we explore two of the most mind-bending and controversial topics of our time: the nature of the cosmos and the truth behind so-called “contact.” These themes—drawn from Mark Gober’s books An End to the Upside Down Cosmos and An End to Upside Down Contact—take us straight into the heart of scientific assumptions, cultural conditioning, and what it really means to seek truth in a world built on inherited narratives.

Mark and I dig into why foundational claims about cosmology, physics, and even medicine may not be supported by direct evidence, and how easily our collective worldview can be shaped by unexamined premises. From the Big Bang, dark matter, and the globe model to NASA imagery, eclipses, and observational anomalies, we break down what can actually be verified—and what cannot. The goal isn’t to replace one belief system with another, but to follow a disciplined, evidence-based approach that challenges dogma on all sides.

We also explore why questioning these topics triggers such strong reactions. Mark explains how career investment, identity, compartmentalization, and cultural reinforcement keep people aligned with consensus models—even when contradictions are hiding in plain sight. The conversation moves beyond physics into consciousness, spirituality, and the possibility that confusion about where we live may be part of a much larger, long-running strategy to disconnect humanity from its inherent power. If you’re curious, skeptical, or simply hungry for deeper clarity in a world drowning in assumptions, this episode will challenge your perspective in the best possible way.

In this episode, I’m joined by Oto Gomes, crypto investor, mentor, and founder of the Crypto Freedom Academy, for a conversation that goes far beyond charts, markets, and digital assets. Oto brings over a decade of crypto experience and another decade as an accountant, but what truly sets him apart is his heart-centered approach to wealth, sovereignty, and freedom.

Together, we unpack why so many people feel disempowered around money, how our beliefs shape our financial reality, and why the future of prosperity depends less on chasing quick wins and more on understanding who we are at our core. Oto shares practical and grounded wisdom on navigating crypto safely, building true abundance, and creating a resilient inner foundation that can weather both bull and bear markets—externally and internally.

We also explore the deeper emotional and spiritual layers of money. Oto breaks down how self-worth ties directly into financial behavior, why sovereignty is a non-negotiable in the new paradigm, and how interdependent communities can help us rewrite our relationship with wealth. His mission is clear: to empower people to reclaim their agency, operate from integrity, and create a prosperous life rooted in accountability and connection.

If you're curious about crypto, seeking a more holistic approach to money, or wanting to align your financial path with personal freedom and purpose, this conversation offers grounded insights and expansive perspective.

We’re back with a new listener AMA, and this one goes deep into the heart of what so many of you have been asking about lately: healing, forgiveness, energetic boundaries, and what it really means to stay aligned when life throws you lessons you never asked for. As always, it’s just me and my wife, Alyson Charles Storey, sitting down at home to explore your questions with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of spiritual perspective.

In this conversation, we unpack what forgiveness actually looks like—especially when the other person never takes accountability. We talk about how to work with resentment, rumination, and intrusive thoughts without spiritually bypassing or numbing ourselves. You’ll hear us dive into the difference between emotional processing and feeding old mental loops, the role of humility in resolving conflict, and why “letting go” is often more about moment-to-moment surrender than a single breakthrough.

We also get into questions around shamanic perspective, karmic lessons, and how to discern when an experience has alchemized into wisdom versus when it’s still asking for attention. Along the way, we touch on rituals, inner work, and the spiritual tools we each turn to—plus plenty of personal stories, laughter, and real-life marriage moments.

Thank you to every listener who submitted a question. Your curiosity and vulnerability shape these episodes, and we’re grateful to walk this path with you. Keep the questions coming for the next AMA.
