Eyla Cuenca, doula and founder of Uncovering Birth with ~15 years supporting births and training birthworkers. She talks about ancestral grief surfacing in labor, transforming identity after becoming a parent, and the nervous-system effects of postpartum phone use.

Ky Dickens, an award-winning documentary filmmaker exploring telepathy and non-speaking autistic communication. She describes a filmed triple-blind telepathy test, spelling-to-communicate revealing unexpected information, debates on consciousness-first models versus materialism, and how psychic access shows up in children, the dying, and marginalized people. She also discusses scientific resistance and plans for a documentary release.

Justin Gardner, founder of Active Skin Repair and two-decade regenerative medicine entrepreneur, explains stabilized hypochlorous acid as a fast, non-toxic topical antimicrobial. He covers how it mirrors the body’s own healing chemistry. Short takes include its uses for wounds, sunburns, pets and babies; why many products fail; and formulation, testing, and post-surgery applications.

Cal Callahan, co-host and conversational partner who testifies to deep transformation. Kyle Coursey, somatic practitioner who blends extended touch, trauma-informed talk, and psycho-somatic techniques.

Short, clear takes cover its membrane-anchoring antioxidant action, enhanced bioavailability via lab formulation, links to mitochondrial and eye health, dosing from baseline to therapeutic, and surprising longevity data from animal studies.

What if grief isn’t something to get over, but something that reveals what you haven’t felt yet?Today, I’m joined by my wife, Alyson Charles Storey, bestselling author and shamanic teacher known for guiding people back to their connection with the Divine, for a deeply personal conversation on grief, death, and sacred friendship.There’s a difference between understanding loss and being pulled into it without warning. We break down how grief as a living process can reopen emotions you thought were complete, and why that can be part of healing.We also explore what it means to honor someone without turning their life into content, and how Alyson approaches this work through devotion, spiritual practice, and grounded human experience.From there, we shift into sobriety and surrender. I share why real change didn’t come from discipline, but from giving up control and trusting something greater.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:56] What losing James Van Der Beek revealed about the rarest kind of friendship[15:01] The kind of person who makes you realize how few of them there are[33:43] The prayer that got me sober and what 29 years taught me about surrender[46:10] Why the most spiritually masterful people are the hardest to recognize[01:02:45] The exhaustion nobody warns you about when you've been awake too long[01:15:03] Two biohacking discoveries I can't stop using[01:26:09] Doyle Bramhall II's healing session delivered plant medicine depth without the plant medicine[01:33:46] When the audience knows what you need before you doGet the Animal Power book and deck, plus a free guided drumming shamanic journey to meet your power animal, at alysoncharles.com/animalpower Visit lukestorey.com/aurora and use code LUKE for 10% off AURORA Vitra Light Water Gel.Resources Mentioned:Read: Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O'Donohue | Book Read: A Horse Named Lonesome: Tales and Teachings for Spiritual Transformation and Healing the Wounds of Separation by Luke Storey | Book Alejandro Sanzon | InstagramPaige Britt | WebsiteSwami Vidyadhishananda | WebsiteDavid R.
