Our guest today is my friend John Wineland, joining us for his third appearance. He's a gifted author, teacher, and speaker who, for over a decade, has been leading both men and women in the realms of spiritual intimacy, finding life's purpose, and living in embodiment.

He teaches worldwide, bringing his vision for a new paradigm of masculine leadership and conscious relationships to those yearning to live in love with wide open hearts. And if you listen to this podcast, that must be you.

John and I talk about the importance of holding space by appointment, managing emotions, the direct line between trust and intimacy, the power of self-inquiry, and the one biggest thing we can focus on with regard to our partners – prioritizing their nervous system over everything.

And that, my friends, is just the tip of the iceberg. This dialogue runs deep as John is truly a master of his craft. If you’re ready for more of his wisdom, check out his book, From The Core, at lukestorey.com/fromthecore.
