What if the answer to loneliness, addiction, and spiritual confusion isn’t more optimization, but surrender? Daniel and Luke Storey (@lukestorey) explore the hidden costs of self-obsession, the difference between healing the body and healing the soul, and why the path toward wholeness demands more than willpower.
Luke opens up about his new memoir, A Horse Named Lonesome, and the pain, recovery, and inner work that shaped it. Together, he and Daniel trace disconnection through childhood trauma, addiction, technology, and the false promise that we can think, biohack, or hustle our way into wholeness. They explore vulnerability, forgiveness, sobriety, entheogens, spiritual bypassing, and the difference between surrender and passivity. At its heart, this is a conversation about moving beyond survival and self-protection toward truth, connection, and a deeper relationship with God.
