Are you feeling overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in old patterns, or hard on yourself for not being “further along” on your healing journey? This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to have it all together to be on a spiritual path. In Soul Recovery, we learn that our desire to fix, control, or rush through discomfort only deepens our suffering. This conversation offers tools to help you soften into the present moment and let go of the belief that your healing has to look a certain way. Whether you’re struggling with codependency, trying to manage someone else’s life, or simply tired from carrying too much, this episode is here to remind you: it’s okay to be exactly where you are. When we stop pushing against what is and open to grace, we return to the truth that we are always guided, supported, and enough—right here, right now.

As we move through life, many of us unconsciously carry mental scorecards—marking every unmet expectation, every imbalance, every moment we don’t feel seen or respected. In this episode, I share how that scorekeeping nearly unraveled my marriage and strained my connection with my children. What I discovered is that it was never really about who did the dishes or picked up the socks—it was about the deeper desire for respect, for energetic balance, for love.

Soul Recovery teaches us to turn inward, to ask what our reactions reveal about our own beliefs, needs, and wounds, so we can begin healing at the root. This doesn’t mean excusing harmful behavior or pretending everything is okay—it means reclaiming our power, seeing with spiritual eyes, and making choices aligned with our authentic selves. When I stopped keeping score and started focusing on energy exchange and honest connection, everything shifted. This practice extends beyond our closest relationships into how we interact with the world: with compassion, with clarity, and with courage. What scorecards are you holding? And what could change if you put them down and chose to see through the eyes of love?

In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode of Recover Your Soul, I have the absolute joy of sitting down with my son, Bodhi, to talk about his journey of choosing sobriety and what that has meant for his life. Many of you know the challenges that come with loving someone who struggles with addiction—I’ve walked this path with both of my sons. Bodhi, now 26, has been navigating his own Soul Recovery, learning what it means to live a full and meaningful life without substances. I’ve watched him try and fail, try and fail, and then, in this chapter, something shifted. He made the choice to truly embrace sobriety, and as his mother, I couldn’t be prouder of how is is showing up for himself.

In our conversation, Bodhi shares the pivotal moments that led him to this decision. He opens up about the tools that keep him grounded—his faith and the power of community. He talks about what it’s like to stay social in a world where partying is the norm, how he still attends festivals, DJs, and embraces adventure—all while staying sober. His journey hasn’t been easy, but as I witness him stepping into this new version of himself, I see a strength and clarity in him that is truly inspiring.

What if true freedom wasn’t about changing others, but about shifting how you see and engage with the world? In this episode, Rev. Rachel Harrison explores the transformative concept of owning your projections—the unconscious ways we attribute our unhealed wounds and limiting beliefs to others. Inspired by The Four Insights by Alberto Villoldo, she walks us through a powerful exercise to recognize and reframe these beliefs into empowering “journey statements.” Along the way, she guides us through the 9-Step Soul Recovery process, showing how taking responsibility for our inner world allows us to reclaim our power, break free from blame, and step into authentic peace—no longer needing others or the world to be different for us to be okay.

Life is filled with challenges, but what if instead of resisting them, we embraced them as opportunities for growth and transformation? In this episode, we explore the deep connection between life’s complexities and our personal healing, especially for those of us recovering from codependence, control addiction, and the need to fix everything around us. I share my own journey of realizing that avoiding difficulty only made life more complicated, and how shifting my mindset has brought me strength, peace, and a deeper spiritual connection. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we’ll uncover how to stop resisting, lean into our experiences with courage, and trust that even the hardest moments are guiding us toward healing. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or supporting a loved one on their path, this episode offers insights, inspiration, and practical tools to help you reclaim your inner power and find contentment, no matter what life brings.

After 32 years together, Rich and I open our hearts to share the profound transformation of our relationship—a journey shaped by Soul Recovery, parenting through addiction, and rediscovering true partnership. As we celebrate Rich’s one-year sobriety anniversary, we reflect on the subtle yet powerful shifts that have deepened our connection, moving away from control and quick fixes to create a foundation of safety where vulnerability can thrive. Rich shares how learning to truly listen and express his needs has allowed us to heal individually while growing closer together, revealing the beautiful paradox that the more we focus on our own soul recovery, the stronger our relationship becomes. We also explore the wisdom gained from supporting our adult children, navigating family complexities, and facing life’s challenges with presence instead of numbing. This conversation is a testament to the power of Soul Recovery—not just for individuals, but for partnerships—and offers hope, insight, and encouragement for anyone seeking deeper connection and healing in their relationships.

In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I open up about the journey of healing core wounds from growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional family system, reflecting on a heartfelt conversation with my son as he steps into fatherhood. Through my own experiences, I explore how the pain and patterns of the past shape our beliefs, behaviors, and sense of safety, and how Soul Recovery, gratitude, and forgiveness have transformed my life and my family's healing. I share how breaking generational cycles of addiction, releasing blame and resentment, and embracing self-compassion have allowed me to find peace and acceptance. This episode is about choosing to see the past as a teacher, not a burden, and allowing gratitude to be the catalyst for forgiveness.

To support you on your journey, I have also published a Guided Meditation on Gratitude and Forgiveness designed to help you release pain, embrace love, and cultivate deep healing to the Recover Your Soul podcast. You can use the meditation right after listening or as a standalone practice to reconnect with gratitude and forgiveness.
