The WakeUp Protocol
Something inside of you knows… there’s more. You’re right!
The WakeUp Protocol is a podcast for sensitive, curious souls who know there’s more to life than what we’ve been taught.
Hosted by Nadja Haldimann, this is a space for big questions, deep remembering, and honest conversations about what it means to come back to your true self, beneath the conditioning, beyond the mask, outside the matrix.
Each week, you’ll hear from guests who are in it too, navigating their own awakenings with courage and grace. We talk about grief, near-death experiences, psychedelics, illness as initiation, visions, and the mysteries that science hasn’t yet caught up with, but our bodies and hearts already know to be true.
This is a space for remembering and fierce truths. For sovereignty, soul, and the kind of conversations that leave you changed.
If you’re waking up... welcome home.

018 ~ Daniel Wise ~ The Road Home: Awakening Through Solo Travel, Sacred Texts & Listening Within
Some humans move through the world with the kind of clarity you only earn by getting lost, turning inward, and listening to life in a whole new way.
In this episode of The WakeUp Protocol, host Nadja Haldimann sits down with Daniel Wise, a coach, business consultant, traveler, and lifelong seeker whose awakening unfolded through decades of synchronicities, heartbreaks, spiritual books, and long stretches of alone-time traveling the world.
Daniel’s path began with a simple invitation: “Pay attention!”
From hitchhiking across France to sitting in Buddhist monasteries…
from reading The Way of the Peaceful Warrior on a hostel floor to navigating the tender transitions of fatherhood, identity, and purpose…
Every chapter brought him closer to ONE truth:
The real journey is always inward!
Together, Nadja and Daniel explore what it means to live awake in a world that constantly tries to pull us back to sleep.
How to trust intuition over logic, how to walk through uncertainty with curiosity, and how to take full responsibility for the life your soul is asking you to build.
Daniel talks about:
✨ How travel can function as a rite of passage
✨ Escaping the “logical mind” and learning to feel again
✨ Synchronicities that confirmed his awakening
✨ Why many adults never complete a rite of passage
✨ Moving from victimhood to agency: “If it is to be, it is up to me”
✨ Conscious parenting and raising kids
✨ The role of meditation, journaling, and nature in staying aligned
✨ Redesigning identity and purpose as you approach midlife transitions
Daniel’s story reminds us that awakening doesn’t require a single dramatic event. Sometimes it begins in the smallest pause… the space between breaths… the moment you stop forcing and start listening.
If you’re navigating a transition, feeling the pull for something more, or sensing that an old identity no longer fits… this episode is for you.
