Success nearly killed her.
Roxanne Chaput was chasing corporate glory until her SUV plummeted 90 feet off a frozen cliff. What flashed before her eyes wasn’t a highlight reel, it was a haunting question:
“Am I living the life I chose... or the life I was told to want?”
She survived. But she didn’t return the same.
Summary:
In this raw, soul-waking episode, Roxanne Chaput joins Yuval to unpack her journey from burnout and near-death to spiritual teacher and modern-day shaman. Raised by empowered women and called by ancestral whispers, Roxanne teaches why most entrepreneurs don’t burn out from failure, they burn out from success built on the wrong blueprint.
Key Takeaways:
• Purpose without action is just a dream
• Burnout often means you succeeded at building a life you never truly wanted
• Fear is a mask—behind it lives sadness, regret, or an unlived truth
• We are multi-dimensional beings, wired for congruence, not compromise
• Real healing begins with presence—not control
Bio:
Roxanne Chaput is a healer, shamanic practitioner, and spiritual guide. Through her platform The Illumination Retreat, she helps leaders reclaim their voice, realign with their soul, and step into conscious creation.
