We’re back with another listener AMA, and this one might be our most heartfelt yet. As always, it’s just me and my wife, Alyson Charles Storey, sitting down together to field your questions with honesty, vulnerability, and a healthy dose of spirit-led reflection.
This month’s conversation weaves through themes of grief, forgiveness, and family legacy as I share the story of honoring my father’s life and final wishes. From the surreal experience of his memorial to an unexpected pilgrimage up Snowmass Mountain to spread his ashes, I open up about the lessons loss has taught me: how relationships shift, why priorities sharpen, and what it really means to let go with grace.
Along the way, Alyson brings her shamanic perspective to the conversation, offering insight on how to hold both the pain and the beauty of these moments without bypassing the deeper truths they carry. Together, we explore questions about how to face endings, how to communicate unspoken truths before it’s too late, and how to recognize the signs and synchronicities that often show up when we’re paying attention. We also touch on the importance of ritual, why even the hardest journeys can become pilgrimages, and what it means to see love as a field that holds us through every season of life.
Thank you to everyone who submitted a question—your curiosity and courage continue to shape these conversations. We’re honored to walk beside you in both the challenges and the celebrations of being fully alive. Visit https://beherefarm.com/fall to join Alyson and other amazing presenters at the Fall Into Here event, September 27-28 in the Texas Hill Country.
