Season 7 Begins: Releasing the Inner Critic and Choosing Self-Compassion in 2026

As Season 7 of the Recover Your Soul Podcast begins, I invite you into a deeper conversation about healing self-judgment and choosing a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

We learn early on to take care of others, to stay small, and to silence our own needs in order to feel safe or loved. Over time, this creates an inner critic that speaks harshly in the name of protection.

In this episode, I reflect on how the Recover Your Soul Process invites us to gently uncover these patterns, understand where they came from, and release what no longer serves us. As we step into 2026 and a new season, we are being called to move beyond awareness and into embodiment, living from our wholeness rather than our wounds.

I also share my own experience of how self-compassion, honesty, and spiritual practice allow real healing to occur by choosing kindness and truth instead of self-judgment.

In this episode, we explore:

• Using the Recover Your Soul Process to release old patterns
• Choosing self-compassion as a spiritual practice
• Stepping into a new cycle of healing and a
