This week on The UpLevel Podcast, we welcome Dr. Daniel Foor, a psychologist, an experienced ritualist, and the author of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing. From ancestral lineage healing and animism to decolonial leadership and ethical business, this dialogue bridges spirituality, psychology, and justice in profoundly human ways, guiding people into right relationship with their ancestors, the land, and the unseen world.

Daniel invites us to rethink what power, belonging, and leadership look like, moving beyond hierarchy and domination toward connection, reciprocity, and care.

In This Episode:

• Why “human supremacy” may be limiting your worldview and how animism opens new doors for connection that honors all beings as persons worthy of respect
• How ancestral lineage healing can resolve deep-seated personal and systemic trauma
• Shifting from achievement-based leadership to relational power grounded in care and community
• Understanding the impact of colonization, capitalism, and disconnection and how reweaving ancestral ties can restore balance
• Practical wisdom for leaders: building ethical organizations that prioritize service over profit
• A powerful redefinition of success: why becoming a “regular person” might be the ultimate KPI for growth
• Why humility, not grandeur, is the true revolution in healing and leadership
