David Weale was a professional skier until a broken neck in 2012 changed the direction of his entire life. In this episode, he talks about how that injury led him into tantra, somatic healing, and a body of work built around sacred intimacy, devotion, and pleasure as legitimate paths to spiritual connection.

This is a grown, honest conversation about the parts of being human we usually keep behind closed doors, and why reconnecting with your body might be closer to spiritual practice than most of us were taught to believe.

About the Guest:

David Weale is an intuitive relationship coach, somatic healer, and founder of Magic Butter, a sacred intimacy brand built around connection, devotion, and pleasure. A former professional skier, a broken neck in 2012 redirected his path into tantra and somatic therapy. He splits his time between Costa Rica and Boulder, working with individuals and couples on reclaiming intimacy and presence.

Key Takeaways:

• A shift in perspective, choosing what you can focus on and be grateful for even in a difficult season, can change the entire trajectory of your healing.
• Pleasure is often treated as shameful rather than sacred. Reconnecting with your body without guilt can be a real doorway to spiritual experience, not a distraction from it.
• How you feel about your own body, whether you meet it with love or criticism, matters for healing of every kind, not just physical recovery.
• Connection, chemistry, and intimacy in long-term relationships don't sustain themselves automatically. They take an ongoing, intentional practice, much like tending a fire that needs regular fuel.
• Bringing a sense of play into your life, in whatever form that takes for you, is a genuine gateway to more joy and presence, not just a nice extra.
