56. Luke Storey - A Biohackers Guide to Life Apr 23, 2019

Show notes

Includes a quote from Shakespeare.

This week we sit down with biohacker, podcaster, and all-around information curator Luke Storey! When not doing first hand research on innumerable bio-hacks, or teaching Kundalini yoga and meditation, Luke interviews world-renowned guests and experts in their field on his podcast The Lifestylist. We get into it this episode, you may want a pen and paper at your side because Luke shares so many juicy takeaways about life, spirituality, and biohacking. We discuss ego, finance, spirituality, (and how they all tie together,) just how much being disconnected from nature is costing us, and the ongoing process of undoing everything we’ve been subconsciously programmed to do. Having experienced childhood trauma and drug addiction at a very early age, Luke shares very personal stories with us about his experience getting sober, and reminds us that even the tiniest bit of self love can lead to big change.

Show notes

Includes a Cleansing Prayer to help clear and refresh the energy in your space.

This week, long-time best friends and the founders of conscious lifestyle and crystal brand Energy Muse, Heather Askinosie and Timmi Jandro, join Tal for a lighthearted conversation about life, love, mysticism, and more. Growing up in Manhattan Beach in the 60’s and 70’s, Heather and Timmi were heavily influenced by the both of their free-spirited grandmothers who would regularly read their tea leaves and talk about reincarnation. But it wasn’t until they would accidentally stumble into the world of energy through feng shui and relationship issues that they gravitated to the business of it all. After the wild success of their prosperity necklace - spotted among the Hollywood elite immediately after being introduced - Heather and Timmi had their fair share of tough times and discuss how they ultimately trusted and surrendered to the needs of their journey to turn things around.
