What if the peace, presence, and nourishment you’ve been searching for are closer than you think?

In this special episode of Soul Sisters Shares, Rachel and Tina take you with them to the cottage, where they’ve spent several days immersed in the trees, water, fire, fresh air, and the natural rhythms of Mother Nature. Together, they explore what it truly means to slow down, reconnect, and come home to yourself.

From the pull of our phones and the constant pressure to be productive, to the discomfort that can arise when we finally become still, this conversation invites us to question the beliefs and patterns that keep us disconnected from our bodies, our hearts, and the natural world around us.

Rachel and Tina share simple, accessible practices for reconnecting with nature — whether that means taking one quiet minute outside, walking barefoot in the grass, feeling the sun on your face, hugging a tree, sitting in a green space, or simply stepping away from the noise and listening.

They also explore the wisdom of nature’s seasons and how we, too, move through cycles of expansion, rest, release, renewal, and reflection. Because perhaps we were never meant to live in a constant state of doing.

Nature doesn’t apologize for resting, shedding, blooming, or slowing down.

So why do we?

Come settle in, take a breath, and allow this episode to be a gentle invitation to slow your pace, reconnect with your senses, and remember that coming home to yourself can be as simple as coming home to nature.

With love, Rachel & Tina 🤍

The conversation begins with Tina sharing a powerful experience from a traditional Mayan Temescal ritual in Mexico that she and her husband participated in while celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.

In this heartfelt and deeply healing episode of Soul Sister Shares, Rachel and Tina open a powerful conversation on forgiveness — what it truly means, how we learned it, and how it becomes the doorway back to love.

Through grounding practices, personal stories, teachings from A Course in Miracles, the Gospel of Mary, Heal Your Life work, and lived experience, they explore the difference between traditional forgiveness and what they call miraculous forgiveness — remembering the truth and innocence within ourselves and others, even after pain.

Together, they unpack:

• Why forgiveness is often misunderstood
• How resentment and anger become stored in the body
• The connection between forgiveness and self-healing
• Why releasing emotion is essential before true forgiveness can happen
• How expectations, grief, abandonment, and childhood wounds shape our pain
• Practical tools and rituals to begin your own forgiveness practice
• The powerful truth that every act of forgiveness is ultimately an act of self-love

This episode is an invitation to soften, release, and return home to yourself.

If you’ve been holding onto hurt, anger, resentment, or grief — this conversation may open a new path forward.

In this episode of Soul Sister Shares, we begin with a grounding practice and then dive into one of the most important conversations in personal growth and spiritual healing: choosing love over fear.

We explore the difference between the voice of the ego and the voice of the soul, and how fear often shows up in everyday life as perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, anxiety, and the need to control.

This conversation is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and begin noticing when you’re living from protection… versus living from love.

In this episode we talk about: • Why fear is not the enemy — it’s an invitation • How your body reveals when you’re living in fear • The connection between anxiety, safety, and the nervous system • Why every behavior is either a call for love or an act of love • Simple tools to shift from fear back to love in real time • How to start leading your life from the heart

This episode is a gentle reminder that love is always available, and that even the smallest pause can change everything. Book Mentioned in this episode: Wake Up to Love - Nicci Walton
