  • Your Loved One Is Still Drinking: Al-Anon, Detachment & Family Vacations

    Your Loved One Is Still Drinking: Al-Anon, Detachment & Family Vacations
    2026/09/28
    What happens when someone you love is still drinking, and you are learning how to be okay even when the people around you may or may not be okay?I recently came home from a family vacation to Hawaii, and while there were so many beautiful moments, there was also a very real 24 hours that brought some old patterns right to the surface. It gave me another opportunity to practice what I have been learning through Al-Anon, my own sobriety, and the Recover Your Soul process.For me, Al-Anon was the place where I first began to understand that I wasn't responsible for someone else's wellbeing. I was powerless over alcohol, over another person, and over their choices. But I also learned that I could turn the attention back to myself.And that is really what this episode is about.I share what happened on our trip, the family patterns that showed up, my old pattern wanting everything to be perfect, and what I learned about letting go of control and allowing each person to have their own experience.The Recover Your Soul process has given me a deeper way to work with these moments. Instead of trying to fix, manage, prevent, or control someone else's journey, I can become curious about my own. What is happening inside of me? What pattern is being activated? What am I trying to control? How can I see this differently? And can I continue to see the person I love in their wholeness, even when their choices are painful to witness?This is not about getting to a place where life is perfect or where the people we love suddenly make the choices we wish they would make.It's about our own healing, our own awakening, and our own soul's journey.Life continues to be lifey. We are still human. We still get activated. We still fall into old patterns.And we get to choose again.If you have someone in your life who is still drinking, still using, or making choices that are difficult for you to watch, I hope this conversation reminds you that you can love them, have compassion for them, and allow them to have their own journey—while continuing to choose your own wholeness.Send a one way text to Rev Rachel 🦋Recover Your Soul Immersion Retreat | October 17–18Join me for two days to go deeper into the Recover Your Soul Process.

    Recover Your Soul Practices: The Power of the BreathWhat if one of the simplest spiritual practices is something you are already doing all day long?Your breath is always with you. It can bring you back to the present moment, help you slow down, and create a little more space between what is happening around you and how you are choosing to respond.In this Soul Practice, we explore the breath as a simple and accessible way to turn within, reconnect with ourselves, settle into the present moment, and create space for a deeper awareness of our soul and our connection to something greater than ourselves.You don't have to know how to meditate or have a perfect spiritual practice. Your breath is already here, waiting for you to notice it. Sometimes healing begins with something as simple as stopping, taking a breath, and remembering that we are here, now.Ready to go deeper?The Recover Your Soul Self-Study Collective is a self-paced opportunity to work through the full 9-Step Recover Your Soul™ Process of Healing and Awakening in your own time and at your own pace.Each Step includes videos with teachings that feel like you are being coached one-on-one with me, along with guided meditations, reflection, and journaling to help you move beyond simply learning the Steps and begin doing the deeper, transformative work of healing and awakening.And you don't have to do it alone.Each month, we gather for two live Zoom sessions with me for continued support, additional teachings, questions, reflection, and connection around the Steps and the process.Join to work through the Steps.

  • The Power of Self-Forgiveness: A Process to Release Shame, Guilt, and Regret

    The Power of Self-Forgiveness: A Process to Release Shame, Guilt, and Regret
    2026/09/14

    What if one of the most powerful things we can do for our healing is to stop holding ourselves hostage to the past?

    I have been thinking a lot about self-forgiveness lately. We can spend so much of our lives going back over what we should have done, what we wish we had said, the choices we regret, the ways we think we failed, or the times we weren't who we wanted to be. And when we keep judging ourselves for those moments, we keep ourselves connected to the pain.

    In this episode, I share a simple practice that has been opening something up for me: “I forgive myself for…” I sat down one morning and began writing, and what came out surprised me. I found myself forgiving the younger parts of me who thought I had to perform to be loved, forgiving myself for choices that weren't kind to myself, and offering compassion to the woman I was in moments when I simply didn't know another way.

    Self-forgiveness doesn't mean that we pretend something didn't happen or that we don't take responsibility for our choices. It means we stop using shame, guilt, regret, and judgment to continue hurting ourselves. We begin to understand the patterns and beliefs that shaped us, give ourselves grace, and remember that we can choose again.

    I also share how this practice has shown up in my marriage and in my own recovery, and why I now see self-forgiveness as such an important part of Step Five of the Recover Your Soul Process.

    If Recover Your Soul is about anything, I believe it is about self-love. And sometimes self-love begins with simply saying, I forgive myself.

    Together we can do the work that will Recover Your Soul.

  • How to Find Peace Without Changing the Situation: The “All Is Well” Soul Practice

    How to Find Peace Without Changing the Situation: The “All Is Well” Soul Practice
    2026/09/07
    You can also begin with the FREE Recover Your Soul 9-Step Workbook:https://www.recoveryoursoul.net/whatisrecoveryoursoulWhat do you do when something is happening that you really, really want to change?When you're worried about someone you love, something isn't going the way you hoped, or you're feeling triggered and activated, our first instinct can be to try to fix it, control it, or make it different.But what if peace doesn't require the situation to change?In this Soul Practice, I want to share a tool that I have been using for years: All Is Well. I first began working with this practice when I was getting sober and attending Al-Anon meetings, when there was plenty happening around me that I desperately wanted to change. At first, saying "all is well" felt almost impossible. How could I say that when things clearly weren't well?Over time, I began to understand that this wasn't about pretending everything was okay or bypassing the pain. It was about bringing myself back into the present moment, back into my body and my heart, and remembering that I could be okay even when I couldn't control what was happening around me.In this episode, I walk you through the practice and share how I have used it through some very complicated situations in my own life. We talk about releasing control, changing our perception, calming our nervous system, and finding that place inside where we can be with what is without fighting against it.The more we practice these tools, the easier it becomes to reach for something new instead of automatically falling back into our old patterns.This is the first episode in my Soul Practices series, where I am sharing simple, grounded spiritual tools that you can actually use in your everyday life.Try it with me. Use it once a day this week, whether you're in the middle of something difficult or simply want to practice coming into a deeper sense of peace.All is well.Not because everything is going to happen exactly the way we want it to.But because, in this moment, we can come back to ourselves.The Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast is where I share Soul Practices like this one, along with deeper teachings, spiritual book studies, interviews, and reflections inspired by Al-Anon, metaphysics, and healing from within.The Bonus Podcast is available to Patreon members, Apple Podcast and YouTube subscribers.If you'd like to explore it without making a commitment, you can become a FREE Patreon member and receive new Bonus Podcast episodes for the first few weeks after they are released.And if you want to go deeper, members and subscribers have access to the full Recover Your Soul library of more than 200 episodes for about the price of a cup of coffee.There is a lot of goodness in that library, and I'm happy to have you there.Take what you need and leave the rest.I'm so glad you're here.Namaste,Rev.

  • Choosing to Be Spiritually Awake: Releasing Control, Changing Your Perception, and Finding Peace

    Choosing to Be Spiritually Awake: Releasing Control, Changing Your Perception, and Finding Peace
    2026/08/31

    What does it mean to be spiritually awake? I don't believe it means that life suddenly becomes easy or that we stop having painful, complicated, very human experiences. Life is still going to be lifey. For me, awakening is becoming more aware of what is happening inside of me and remembering that I have a choice in how I experience what is happening around me.

    In this episode, I share a very real situation with my son that gave me an opportunity to practice the Recover Your Soul Process right in the middle of something scary and emotional.

    Rather than simply talking about the nine steps, I walk through them as I was actually experiencing this situation. What was I feeling? What was I trying to control? What was underneath my reaction? And how could I choose to see it differently?

    This is what Recover Your Soul has become for me. Not fixing ourselves or getting to a place where nothing ever hurts, but becoming aware of our patterns, beliefs, and stories and learning that we can choose again.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • What spiritual awakening looks like in everyday life
    • Working the Recover Your Soul 9-Step Process through a real-life experience
    • Releasing control and changing our perception
    • Recognizing old patterns when they show up
    • Moving from reaction into awareness and choice
    • Finding peace without needing everything around us to be peaceful

    If you've found Recover Your Soul through Al-Anon, codependency, addiction, people pleasing, or the struggle to let go of control, I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse of where the work can take us.

    I'm still learning and practicing this right alongside you. Sometimes the moments we never would have chosen become the moments that show us how much we've changed.

    Take what you need and leave the rest.

    I'm so grateful you're here.

    Namaste,
    Rev. Rachel     💜

  • What Changes When You See People as Souls? Releasing the Need to Fix, Judge, or Change Them

    What Changes When You See People as Souls? Releasing the Need to Fix, Judge, or Change Them
    2026/08/17

    I've been thinking a lot about how we choose to see and interact with the people in our lives. Especially the ones we love the most.

    What if we could begin to see them not just as their choices, their behaviors, their wounds, or the stories we've created about them, but as souls having their own human experience?

    What happens when we stop trying to fix people?

    What happens when we release the need for them to be different so that we can be okay?

    And what happens when we remember that their soul journey is theirs, just as ours is ours?

    This is a deeper conversation about the spiritual side of Recover Your Soul, about remembering our wholeness, releasing judgment, and beginning to see the people around us in a different way.

    I'm sharing some of what I've been learning and experiencing, including some ideas about souls, our human experience, and why I believe the people who challenge us can sometimes be some of our greatest teachers.

    As always, take what you need and leave the rest.

    I'm just sharing what I'm discovering on my own journey, and I hope something in this conversation opens a new way of seeing for you too.

  • How to Stop Worrying About Your Adult Children: Letting Go of Control and Trusting Their Journey

    How to Stop Worrying About Your Adult Children: Letting Go of Control and Trusting Their Journey
    2026/08/03
    If you're a parent, you probably know this feeling.No matter how old our children are, we never stop wanting to protect them. We want to guide them, encourage them, and help them avoid some of the heartache we experienced ourselves.I've been thinking about that a lot lately.As my own boys have grown into adulthood, I've realized that one of the greatest invitations of this stage of parenting isn't learning how to love them more. It's learning how to trust their journey while continuing to love them deeply.For a long time, I believed that if one of my children was struggling, it was my job to figure out how to make it better. I thought worrying meant I was being a good mom. I thought helping meant offering advice, solving problems, and trying to keep them from making mistakes or being uncomfortable.But my own healing has gently shown me something different.What if our adult children aren't ours to fix, change or even to tell them what to do?What if they're here to have their own unique human experience, learning through both their joys and their challenges on their soul journey?What if loving them doesn't mean keeping them from discomfort, but trusting that even the difficult parts of their journey have purpose too. That doesn't mean we stop caring. It doesn't mean we stop loving or even supporting in a healthy way.It simply means we begin releasing the belief that their happiness determines our own.This conversation isn't about becoming a perfect parent. I certainly haven't been one. It's about exploring another way of seeing.One that has brought so much more peace into my own heart.If you've been lying awake worrying about your adult children, wishing you could make different choices for them, or wondering how to love them without losing yourself, I hope you'll find something in this conversation that may shift how you are seeing the situation and the people in your life- and in the end you find a little peace. In This EpisodeWhy worrying can quietly become another form of trying to controlSeeing your adult children through love instead of fearHow our own discomfort often fuels our desire to fix someone else's lifeWhy acceptance becomes a path to peaceTrusting your adult children's soul journey while continuing to love them deeply with healthy detachmentReleasing the belief that someone else's happiness determines your ownReturning your attention to your own healing and spiritual awakeningA Few Questions to Sit WithWhere am I carrying responsibility that isn't mine?What fears come up when I imagine letting go of control?Can I love someone deeply without trying to change them?What might become possible if I trusted both my journey and theirs?Continue Your Soul Recovery Journey🎁 Download your FREE Recover Your Soul™ 9-Step WorkbookBegin your Recover Your Soul journey by exploring the beliefs, patterns, and stories that may no longer serve you, reconnecting with your Higher Power, and remembering your wholeness.Send a one way text to Rev Rachel 🦋Recover Your Soul Immersion Retreat | October 17–18Join me for two days to go deeper into the Recover Your Soul Process.

  • Why Is It So Hard to Receive Love? Healing Self-Worth and Learning You're Enough

    Why Is It So Hard to Receive Love? Healing Self-Worth and Learning You're Enough
    2026/07/20
    Have you ever noticed that it's easier to give love than to receive it?As recovering people pleasers and codependents, many of us learned to care for everyone else first. We became experts at giving our time, our energy, our love, and our attention, but when it comes to receiving those same gifts, we often hesitate.Why?In this episode, I share a very personal story about buying a new car and how something that seemed so ordinary uncovered a much deeper invitation to healing. What surfaced wasn't really about the car at all. It was about an old belief that had quietly followed me through much of my life—that other people deserved more than I did.As I became curious about those feelings, I realized that learning to receive has been one of the greatest spiritual lessons of my own Soul Recovery journey.Healing isn't about getting more.It's about releasing the beliefs, patterns, and stories that tell us we aren't enough.When we begin to receive the same love, compassion, and kindness that we so freely offer everyone else, we open ourselves to a life rooted in abundance instead of lack, trust instead of fear, and wholeness instead of striving.If you've ever struggled to believe you deserve love, support, joy, or simply something beautiful for yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you that you have never needed to earn your worth.You already are enough.A New Weekly RhythmBeginning July 2026, you'll receive a new episode every Monday between the 2 Recover Your Soul Podcasts.One week you'll hear a full Recover Your Soul Podcast episode, and the next week you'll receive a Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast, where I share spiritual tools, practices, guided meditations, and inspiring interviews to support you on your healing journey.Thank you for being part of this beautiful community. Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or you've been walking this path with me for years, I'm honored that we're recovering our souls together.Until next time… Namaste. 💜Send a one way text to Rev Rachel 🦋Recover Your Soul Immersion Retreat | October 17–18Join me for two days to go deeper into the Recover Your Soul Process.
