What if mental illness is actually a spiritual battle?
My guest today is Skai Delacroix, a healer and teacher who spent three years in near-total silence and now works with people through his ZeroPoint method.
What happened to him after that first year of samadhi is the part nobody talks about: the long collapse into psychiatric diagnoses, suicidal planning, and a body he could barely move.
At one point in his story, paramedics couldn’t lift him off the sidewalk because the gravitational pull was too strong. In another, he received a directive to walk himself into destruction on purpose. The through-line is the question: how do you tell the difference between guidance and psychosis when the voices sound identical?
We also do a live ZeroPoint practice that shifted something in my chest I wasn't expecting.

In this Lonesome Conversation, Kyle and I explore a hunger most of us don’t know we have — the deep deficit of physical touch in Western culture, where contact gets siloed off into family or romance with nothing in between. He explains how we’re biologically wired for touch as co-regulation, how we convince ourselves we’ve “outgrown” the need, and why you can’t feel the lack until something finally fills it. A reframe of loneliness as, in part, a body starved of the care it was designed to receive. About Kyle Kyle Coursey is the creator of THE RESET, a one-of-a-kind experience. He works with high-performing and high-functioning individuals, founders, and executives who have done the work but still feel something is off. His work focuses on identifying and resolving the underlying distortions in the human system, across nervous system, physiology, psychology, and relational patterns, so clients can return to clarity, performance, and internal stability. Through his immersive RESET sessions, he compresses years of work into a single, focused experience designed to restore coherence and unlock what’s been inaccessible through conventional approaches. 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.
Thirty minutes after the biggest relief of his life, Dylan Gemelli found out his apartment was being ransacked, with half a kilo of cocaine in the safe.
I join my brother Kyle Kingsbury for a raw conversation about the life experiences behind my new book, A Horse Named Lonesome. We trace my journey from childhood abuse and addiction to recovery and spiritual awakening, exploring how shame, trauma, and the illusion of separation can keep us disconnected from ourselves and others. We also get into forgiveness, ego death, 5-MeO-DMT, and the hard-earned lessons that ultimately inspired me to share this book with the world.
In this Lonesome Conversation, Dr. Lipton and I explore his striking claim that loneliness runs against a law of biology—that no organism, from an ant to a bee to a human, survives outside its community. He walks through why we've been programmed to feel separate by religion, politics, nationality, and sex, and who actually benefits when we're isolated and disempowered. A bracing reframe of the loneliness epidemic as a spiritual and biological crisis rather than a personal failing. About Dr. Lipton
