E38 Breaking Free from Materialism with Joel Schafer

LISTEN HERE:

WATCH HERE:

In this soulful conversation, I sit down with Joel Schafer to explore the rich terrain of Toltec shamanism—what it is, how it works, and why it’s more relevant now than ever. Joel opens up about his journey into shamanic practice, the sacred art of recapitulation, and how facing death (instead of avoiding it) can actually wake us up to a more vibrant, meaningful life.

We also get into the sneaky ways deception shows up in our culture and our minds, the role of intuition in navigating truth, and why self-love isn’t a luxury—it’s essential for real empowerment.

This episode is a reminder that everything is connected, nothing is wasted, and even the hardest moments can be doorways to transformation.

If you're craving a deeper connection to your intuition, your power, and your purpose—this episode will feel like a homecoming.
