Summary

We’re back with another duo-cast, and this one takes us on a heartfelt, mystical ride through the many layers of love, spirit, and self-discovery. As always, it’s just me and my amazing wife, Alyson Charles Storey, sitting down to share the unfiltered truth of what’s really alive in our world right now.

We open up about the origins of our relationship and what that season of deep self-work taught us about healing, intimacy, and trust. From there, we dive into lighter (and wilder) terrain: our summer adventures in Nevada City, the magic of the Yuba River, and a string of bat encounters that sparked some late-night spiritual decoding.

Whether you’re seeking clarity on relationships, purpose, or simply a reminder that spiritual life can be full of laughter and mystery, this conversation has it all.

Your kid, plug your ears. Was yours no self-pleasureing or could you do that?

No pornography.

I really feel had we not both been celibate when we met, I think it would have been a very different vibe.

0:12.0

I think there would have been an instant sexual romantic chemistry. I think there was an interesting alchemical situation that happened.

0:23.2

Grateful, it went the way it went, because coming out of my veil, my spiritual awakening

I mean, that was just one of a million realizations through that awakening.

0:53.9

But I just needed to

figure out how to honor my body and this sacred vessel. I knew I needed to start from square one,

1:03.1

which was self-respect, self-honor, self-love, self-care for five-ish years, a celibate. Days and times were difficult, but it was not so difficult the majority of the time.

1:15.6

I just got used to it, and our celibacies did look different.

1:18.6

You had no flirting.

1:20.6

I mean, yours had a lot of additional.

I didn't really feel worried or concerned about those particular components for me.
