What if the key to reclaiming your power and healing your life isn’t found in more hustle—but in stillness?

In this deeply powerful episode, Gary sits down with author, channel, and shamanic practitioner Dale Allen-Rowse. From performing with Celine Dion to building a real estate empire, Dale seemed to have it all—until his health failed and forced him into an unexpected spiritual awakening.

What followed was a radical journey inward—into stillness, into healing, and into channeling a series of books that would not only transform his life, but offer a new paradigm for how we access power, peace, and purpose.

If you’ve ever burned out chasing “success”, felt disconnected from your intuition, wondered if there’s more to life than what’s visible, been curious about channeling, shamanism, or energy work...This episode is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Dale went from ballet dancer and Vegas performer to real estate mogul—and why success nearly cost him his life
  
• The spiritual breakdown that led to a breakthrough: Dale’s diagnosis with a rare neurological disorder and his healing journey
  
• How channeling and automatic writing became the tool that saved Dale’s life
  
• The difference between traditional religion and indigenous shamanic practice
  
• Why hustle culture is outdated—and what it means to operate from energetic alignment instead
  
• What “jailbreaking the matrix” really means and how to reclaim your personal power
  
• A breakdown of what shamanism actually is, and why it’s misunderstood in the Western world
  
• How trauma lives in our bodies—and how stillness helps us release it
  
• Why most people are disconnected from their intuition and how to restore that connection
  
• The science of manifesting: aligning your vibration with your vision
  
• Why being in “automatic” mode is killing our creativity—and how to access true presence
  
• How to heal generational trauma and why honoring your ancestors matters
  
• The role of nature and stillness in spiritual reawakening
  
• Dale’s writing process, his book series, and how spirit guided every step
  
• The future of his work with plant medicine and spiritual retreats

Have you ever looked at someone’s life and thought, “They have it all”?

Success, wealth, and admiration—but what if behind the perfect image lies deep personal turmoil? Today’s guest, Derek Newborn, knows this reality all too well.

A successful fitness model and entrepreneur, Derek seemed to be living the dream.
