This is a rebroadcast of an interview I did on the Wellness Force Radio with my friend Josh Trent. In this conversation, I probably get a little too raw and real about my past struggles with relationships and intimacy, and how that’s finally changed when I found true, healthy love. This is going to be helpful to anyone else having problems with intimacy in their lives. We talk about:  My decision to participate in plant medicine ceremonies and why it was so challenging for me to make that decision. Unpacking my family's history including alcoholism, abuse, neglect, and how that impacted my life and relationships at a young age. Why I avoided being close to or emotionally intimate with anyone from a young age and how that has changed over the years. How kundalini yoga has especially helped me get in touch with myself along my healing journey. My past definition of ‘freedom‘ and the moment I realized that I had actually imprisoned myself. The addictions I have quit to help me gather greater awareness and consciousness. The 12-step groups that focused on helping people with dysfunctional behavior such as sex addiction, love addiction, and issues in relationships. How I was shown in a number of different plant medicine ceremonies that I am now done repeating my old childhood patterns. What I am doing to help avoid falling back into those old patterns. The challenges that Alyson and I are still going through and working on to build a stronger relationship. How I have heightened my awareness of negative thought and speaking patterns to improve my relationships. Unpacking the ego and why it is actually a vital part of who we are as humans. The healthy boundaries I set for myself when I was ready to start dating again. The relationship I had with my mom and dad as a kid and how that perpetuated various behavior patterns. Why it's so important to have a conscious pathway to attend a plant medicine ceremony. How it's a beautiful thing for men to cry and express their emotions. Relationship advice my father gave me and what it has been like for me to now be in a long-term commitment. Why it's good to take a new relationship slowly and consciously instead of going all in and becoming obsessed about it. My experience participating in several peyote ceremonies as a couple and how that impacted us early on in the relationship. How my past fears of commitment came up for me during the peyote ceremonies. How my plans for navigating relationships and boundaries have shifted with our relationship. Exploring intuitive awareness plus when and whether we should open our hearts or protect ourselves. Why being too serious all the time can be harmful to our wellbeing and life journey. The importance of not approaching current events with fear. Exploring the nature of reality and what is actually happening beneath the surface in society.   This is a deep and powerful episode, and Josh is an amazing interviewer who brings things out in me that I never thought I would talk about publicly. This vulnerability is bound to help somebody and serve your highest good.   JOIN MY NEW ONLINE EMF HOME SAFETY MASTERCLASS! Visit www.lukestorey.com/emfmasterclass to join. Only $149! Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them?  Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities? Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated? EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to. In this seven-part video docume
