In this episode of Let’s Get Metaphysical, Sam Cross sits down with Maritza Schäfer, founder of Bruja School and creator of Liberation Magic, for a grounding and activating discussion of magic, politics, spirituality, social justice, and collective transformation.

Together, they explore what it means to wake up to the magical nature of reality while living in a world shaped by disconnection, inequality, and spiritual amnesia. Sam gets honest about her tendency to spiral when the state of the world feels unbearable, and Maritza offers a grounded, powerful (and hilarious) perspective on how to stay connected to magic without bypassing reality.

This conversation touches on:

• why magic is political

• the link between spiritual disconnection and collective suffering

• how social justice and spirituality are deeply connected

• the power of paradox, grounding, and personal practice

• what Liberation Magic actually is

• who witches really are, and who fears them

• how to channel anxiety into meaningful action

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay openhearted and spiritually connected in a chaotic world, this episode is for you.

Maritza Schäfer is the founder of Bruja School, where she teaches Liberation Magic—a transformational approach to magic that supports both personal and collective liberation. Her next cohort begins March 25th.

Once upon a time... I was a Disney princess. For children's birthday parties.

In this episode, I share stories from that era of my life — and the surprisingly profound lessons it taught me about synchronicity, gender conditioning, creativity, and... magic.

We explore:

• 🌀 How synchronicity actually works, through the unexpected chain of events that landed the job

• 🎭 How gender conditioning is learned, and what I observed while watching parents freak out

• 🧠 How dysregulated my ADHD was at the time, including the chaos of once completely missing an email and having my boss call while I was playing video games

And then… a slightly unhinged storytime:

• Doing a party half-naked as Ariel at a McDonald’s 🍟🧜‍♀️

• The time a grandma almost died mid-party 😬

• The best and worst parties — and what they revealed about materialism vs. genuine magic

If you love reflective storytelling, creative insight, and a little chaos… this one’s for you. ✨

Let me give you the reframe that changed my life.

In this episode, I share:

• Why creative chaos is often a sign of deep alignment

• How creatives (and mystics / healers) receive huge amounts of energy, and "handling it" is a learned skill

• Why TIMING IS EVERYTHING when you're receiving quantum creative energy: you are channeling ideas to manifest in the future, and trying to create them all "now" blocks your system

• How clear mirrors (the right people) change everything, and help you see your genius

• Why your multi-dimensionality is a rare gift to nurture, not a "problem"

Your path doesn't need to make sense, and you don't need to walk it all at once. Every step, and every turn has led you to this moment.

In this episode, Deidra (@deaevtte7) joins me to explore the spiritual journey of entrepreneurship, and to intimately share the parts no one talks about.

We talk about mental breakdowns, nervous system healing, trauma as wisdom, and why worthiness is the foundation of aligned work. Deidra shares her journey through institutionalization, early-life trauma, and how finding her voice became inseparable from her spiritual and entrepreneurial path.

This is a conversation about collapse, embodiment, and building a life — and a “business” — from truth.

What if everything you were taught about the Bible was shaped by patriarchy, politics, and mistranslation?

Sam returns from finishing The Art of Being Light to unravel:

• How a multicultural, multi-author mystical anthology became treated as a literal rulebook

• Why Jesus’ teachings only make sense through the lens of Eastern mysticism

• The chakra-healing and energy work hidden in plain sight

• How mistranslating “God” as a man reprogrammed an entire civilization

• The erasure of Mary Magdalene and feminine frequency

• The real reason Western society feels spiritually hollow (and how all of this points to our conscious evolution)

This episode asks the question:
Did leaders misunderstand the Bible — or deliberately reshape it?

In this episode of Let’s Get Metaphysical, Sam nerds out about ancient technology with Sean Callahan, CEO of USA MedBed and Healthy Life Technology, a pioneer in energetically-enhanced wellness.

Their conversation bridges ancient wisdom and futuristic healing — from pyramid power grids to plasma fields, because as Sean says, we're "just catching up" in our connection to Universal wisdom.

Together, they explore:

• 🧠 How ancient civilizations used advanced energy technology — from plasma fields to seed germination — to sustain the Earth and its people.

• 🌌 Why modern science is only rediscovering what the ancients already knew about energy, consciousness, and healing.

• 💎 The difference between living longer and living better — and how fulfillment, gratitude, and presence reverse biological aging.

• ⚡ What plasma technology really is, and how it connects mind, body, and spirit.

• 💜 How laughter, kindness, and creativity literally regenerate stem cells and raise the body’s frequency.

• 🌍 The importance of spiritual maturity in a technologically advanced world — and what happens when we evolve our energy as well as our science.

• ☀️ Daily practices for alignment, presence, and living intentionally in harmony with the planet.

Sean reminds us that the ancients weren’t primitive — they were masters of energy. Their technology worked with nature, not against it. And perhaps the true frontier of healing isn’t about living forever, but about living consciously — in harmony with the energy that sustains all life.

***THE LION'S GATE PORTAL IS NOW OPEN.***

Find out how to work with the most potent energy of the year. In this episode, we're connecting ancient Egyptian star wisdom with modern soul alignment. You'll find out how to work with this annual influx of energy to super-charge your manifestation power.

In this episode, I break down:

• What exactly the Lion’s Gate Portal is — an alignment of Sirius, the Sun in Leo, Orion, and Earth.

• Its roots in Ancient Egypt, where Sirius’s rising signaled the Nile flood, fertility, rebirth, and the New Year under goddess Sopdet / Isis.

• The numerology of 8/8: infinite potential, cosmic balance, and alignment of material and spiritual realities.

• The modern astrological significance: Leo energy (courage, creation, self-expression) amplified through Sirius, aligning with themes of manifestation and expanded consciousness .

• How the ancient Egyptians aligned the pyramids and Sphinx with Orion, acting as energetic stargates or conduits for higher frequency energy.

• Practical rituals: how to harness this energy via meditation, intention setting, shadow integration, and heart-centered practices.

• Why this portal is about both personal transformation and collective shift, encouraging alignment, courage, and creative expression.

What if mental health isn’t something to fix, but something to practice?

In this episode, I talk about how burnout, breakdowns, and labels often just symptoms of energetic misalignment. I share personal stories from my corporate past, what ADHD coaching taught me about perspective, how I reconnected with my inner artist, and the moment a Moonlight Scorpio song (“Mental Health”) helped rewire my beliefs during a psychedelic trip.

I unpack why most of us are primed for mental health struggles from childhood—because we’re taught to chase roles, not listen to our souls. I share how practicing daily rituals like breathwork, movement, and creative expression helped me shift from burnout to spiritual alignment, and why consistency is key, even when life feels “good.”

I also talk about:

• ​The root chakra and why it’s foundational to stability
• How movement can be both exercise and exorcism
• Why perspective is everything—and how most of ours is warped by Western conditioning
• The role of creativity and the inner child in mental wellness
• How I moved from calling myself a “burnout coach” to owning my path as a spiritual mentor

This episode is full of gold if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to mental health than the frameworks we’ve been given.

• The witch wound, inner child healing, and the return to self-sovereignty

• Astrology as a mirror for energetic lineage and soul purpose

• Misunderstandings around the mother archetype—becoming Mother vs. seeking Mother
