The Life Stylist

My ego freaked out when I read the manuscript of my book.

Today, Alyson joins me for another Field Reveal Friday and Ask Me Anything.

A listener asked where I get my clothes now, which sounds light until it opens a door into identity, self-worth, and the years I dressed to hide from a room that I thought was staring at me.

There's also a question on rewriting beliefs that sent me back to the night I checked into rehab in 1997, the beliefs I used to hold about women and marriage, and how I finally got under the conscious mind.

Plus, catch my latest, including light therapy from Kineon, peptides from Solyn, and the new Lonesome Conversations limited series.

In this Lonesome Conversation, Adam and I explore his conviction that separation is a trick of perspective — that whether you zoom in with a microscope or out with a telescope, you're looking at the same unbroken whole, and that "there is God, and we're it." We trace how entomology, the world's religions, and psychedelics converged for him into one felt truth rather than a hopeful idea: that we're never actually alone. A conversation about the kind of existential loneliness that dissolves the moment you stop believing in the boundary.

About Adam
Adam Butler is a psychedelic philosopher and passionate DMT psychonaut focusing on mental health, neuroplasticity, self-exploration, and the extreme limits of human potential and ability. Combining an academically trained intellect, empathetic heart, and life-hardening experiences, Adam has found his niche in helping others overcome the fear associated with PTSD, depression, sexual repression, and addiction.

By incorporating psychedelic compounds with deep meditation, lucid dreaming, and tantric practices, he has changed from being an overworked, overweight, stressed-out alcoholic asshole into a balanced, healthy, and sober friend and mentor to many.

Lonesome Conversations Limited Series
Lonesome Conversations is a special series from The Life Stylist, built around my new book, A Horse Named Lonesome (out November 17, 2026). Loneliness is something almost everyone goes through, and almost nobody talks about honestly. So I sat down with psychologists, philosophers, trauma therapists, teachers, and friends to find the truth about loneliness, and how we heal from it. Each episode is its own conversation, but together they walk the same ground the book maps out. (Pre-order your copy at ahorsenamedlonesome.com) You'll find new episodes alongside our regular show over the coming months.

Time doesn't heal trauma. The damage accumulates until your body pays the price.

Dr. Aimie Apigian is a Preventive and Addiction Medicine physician and bestselling author of The Biology of Trauma. Her path in this work involved a failed adoption and an autoimmune diagnosis.

We talk about why fear stored in the body creates the sickness you're trying to biohack your way out of. Aimie breaks down the difference between suppression and repression, and why the latter costs you more physically. It turns out the reason cognitive approaches keep failing addicts and high performers alike has to do with what happens in the nervous system before we form our first thoughts..

Finally, Dr. Aimie breaks down the five core skills of self-regulation every human needs to know.

If you've been chasing supplements, protocols, and cold plunges hoping something will work, this conversation might just shift what you try.

For this Lonesome Conversation, Tim Corcoran joins me to pull apart two very different kinds of loneliness: the interpersonal ache of having no one around, and the existential kind where you feel alone in the universe even in a crowded room. We get into why the wild speaks to that deeper loneliness, why middle-aged men are statistically the loneliest among us, and why "just go find community" so often fails to fill the gap.

About Tim

Tim Corcoran is the founder of Purpose Mountain, where he offers Nature Based Purpose Guidance to support people with a love for wild nature who feel a deep yearning to discover their soul-level calling. Tim also serves as co-director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, an organization he co-founded with his wife, Jeannine Tidwell, in Sandpoint, Idaho in 2005, dedicated to facilitating deep nature connection mentoring, cultural restoration, and inner tracking.

A leader of wilderness vision quests, holistic rites of passage, and men’s groups, Tim has been facilitating spiritual initiations in the wilderness since 1999. Healing the cultural rift between the mainstream and indigenous cultures, transformational consciousness work, the spiritual journey, ancestral work, the sacred hunt, deep nature connection, family, and health are all strong commitments in his life. Tim is a heart-centered father of two brilliant sons and husband to a magnificent wife, and lives in pristine Sandpoint, Idaho.
