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.

020 ~ Cori Lovejoy ~ Diversity is Our Strength: From Transphobia to Self Love
In this episode of The WakeUp Protocol, host Nadja Haldimann sits down with Cori Lovejoy, a cultural connector, spiritual seeker, and deeply thoughtful human who has lived life on both sides of a binary most of us never question.
Cori spent nearly five decades navigating the world in a male body while carrying a truth she didn’t yet have language for… a truth shaped by shame, fear, and relentless self-suppression.
Her awakening didn’t arrive gently.
It came through plant medicine, profound inner reckoning, and moments where staying alive required choosing courage over everything familiar.
What followed was not just a gender transition.
It was a spiritual one.
A journey into self-love, embodiment, and what it truly means to be human in this world.
Together, Nadja and Cori explore what it means to live beyond binaries, not only in gender, but in identity, belonging, and self-expression.
They talk about shame and sovereignty, consciousness and contrast, and the quiet but radical power of choosing to stay, choosing to live, choosing to tell the truth.
This episode explores:
✨ Living beyond binaries and prescribed identities
✨ Shame, self-suppression, and reclaiming sovereignty
✨ Living life in a male vs female body
✨ Awakening through courage and radical honesty
✨ Embodiment as a pathway to self-love
✨ The role of plant medicine in inner reckoning
✨ Choosing life when everything familiar falls away
✨ Style, art, and community as expressions of truth
Cori’s story is a reminder that awakening doesn’t mean becoming someone new.
It means allowing yourself to finally be who you’ve always been.
If you’re questioning an old identity, navigating a transition, or longing to live with more honesty, softness, and courage, this episode is for you.
