In this episode, I am joined by public speaker, writer, philosopher, and host of the popular Life Stylist Podcast, Luke Storey. After spending decades battling addiction and trauma as a self-proclaimed agnostic, Luke found himself free after a spiritual awakening that changed his life. Taking what he's learned through his own experience, he shows us how we can find healing in the midst of radical pain and adversity. From what it means to live a spiritual life, the power of prayer, and the amazing science surrounding spirituality, this episode will open your eyes to the spiritual world and how it can bring healing physically, mentally, and emotionally.
