Ross Rosenberg talks with podcaster and author Luke Storey (The Life Stylist) about his journey from addiction to nearly 30 years of sobriety, and his upcoming memoir, A Horse Named Lonesome. Luke shares how childhood trauma and loneliness fueled his addictions, and how a mushroom ceremony revealed that writing the book was really about helping others heal. He and Ross connect Luke's idea of "disconnection" to Ross's theory of self-love deficit disorder, exploring how shame drives addiction and how self-love becomes protection against relapse.

A Horse Named Lonesome comes out November 17 and is available for pre-order now; find more of Luke's work at lukestorey.com.

Luke Storey is a former celebrity fashion stylist turned biohacking pioneer and wellness educator, shaped by his own recovery from addiction. He hosts The Life Stylist, a weekly podcast launched in 2016 with over 700 episodes and 14 million downloads, covering biohacking, trauma healing, and consciousness. The show ranks among Apple Podcasts' top wellness programs, with guests including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Joe Dispenza.
