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.

Is it too late to change? To heal? To detach with love? In this episode of Recover Your Soul, we explore the powerful Al-Anon principle of detachment through the lens of Soul Recovery, reminding you that it's never too late to step into a new way of being. If you've struggled with codependency and people-pleasing, this episode will help you release the need to fix, control, or take responsibility for others, so you can focus on your own healing. Together, we’ll reflect on the Seven Detachments from Al-Anon: 1) Not to suffer because of the actions or reactions of others. 2) Not to allow ourselves to be used or abused. 3) Not to do for others what they can do for themselves. 4) Not to manipulate situations so others behave as we see fit. 5) Not to cover up for another’s mistakes. 6) Not to create a crisis. 7) Not to prevent a crisis if it is the natural course of events. These principles aren’t just about addiction—they're about learning to stay in your lane, find your strength, and release what isn’t yours to carry. Healing begins the moment you choose yourself.

If you’ve found this podcast, chances are you’re on a journey—one that may include addiction, codependency, people-pleasing, or the deep exhaustion of trying to fix others. I know that journey well because I’ve walked it myself. Seven years ago, I made the decision to save myself, to step into my healing, and to embrace the transformative power of Soul Recovery. And that choice changed everything.

In this episode, I reflect on my seven-year sobriety milestone and the profound shifts that have unfolded in my life. But this journey isn’t just about putting down a drink or breaking free from toxic patterns—it’s about reclaiming your power, finding peace within yourself, and allowing your own healing to be the light that inspires others- it is about choosing your own Soul Recovery.

Have you ever found yourself trying to convince someone to see things the way you do—only to feel frustrated, unheard, or misunderstood? In this episode of Recover Your Soul, we're exploring the power of letting go of the fight and stepping into inner peace when others see the same situation differently.

Soul Recovery teaches us that we are powerless over how others think, feel, and process their experiences. We don’t need to be validated by others to trust our own truth. When we release the need to be “on the same page,” we create space for healing, compassion, and self-acceptance. And just as we honor our own experience, we can extend that same compassion to others—allowing them to have their own truth, even when it differs from ours.

I’ll share personal experiences and Soul Recovery tools to help you:

• Stop seeking validation from those who may never see it your way.
• Release attachment to the pain stories that keep you stuck.
• Embrace the freedom of allowing others their own perceptions.
• Have compassion for their perspective, even when it’s different from yours.
• Find empowerment in shifting your own perception.

In this episode Rev. Rachel Harrison reflects on the delicate balance between needing others and maintaining independence. Inspired by today’s reading from The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie, Rev Rachel explores how codependency and control show up in sneaky ways in our lives. When life feels out of control, we often lean into patterns of over-controlling or shutting people out, but true healing comes when we can let go of these defense mechanisms and open ourselves to authentic, healthy relationships.

Join Rachel as she shares insights from her own journey, the transformative power of Soul Recovery, and how releasing the need to control allows us to take our power back and step into a life of connection, love, and inner peace. Whether you’re struggling with being overly dependent on others or keeping people at a distance, this episode will help you find balance and deepen your relationships while staying true to yourself.

Let go, step into your Soul Recovery, and rediscover your wholeness.

As people pleasers and codependents, it can feel impossible to ask for what we truly need and want without guilt or fear of rejection. In this episode, I dive into the heart of this struggle and share how Soul Recovery principles can help us release the people pleaser within and reconnect with our authentic selves.

We explore the delicate balance between letting go and dreaming—a concept that can feel contradictory but is deeply interconnected. Through detachment, acceptance, and self-awareness, we can begin to break free from old patterns of putting others first at the expense of our well-being.

This episode offers practical tools to let go of control, heal core wounds, and trust in a life that aligns with our highest good. Together, we'll discover how to ask for what we need, envision the life we want, and create a reality that thrives—not in opposition to others but in harmony with our true selves.

Join me on this journey of transformation as we explore how to release the people pleaser, let go of the fear of rejection, and step into a life of freedom, joy, and abundance.

The journey of Soul Recovery invites us to shift from old patterns of people-pleasing and codependency to a place of self-love and empowerment. In this heartfelt episode, I share my personal experiences over the holidays—navigating family dynamics, old expectations, and the sneaky ways control can creep back in.

Together, we’ll explore how to show up authentically, let go of trying to fix or manage others, and embrace the spiritual tools that bring peace, love, and connection. I reflect on the courage it takes to ask for what you need, stand in your truth, and allow others the space to be themselves—all while staying present with your own feelings and growth.

Soul Recovery is not about bypassing life’s complexities but learning how to be in the messiness with grace and awareness. Whether you're healing from codependency, struggling with family relationships, or seeking a deeper sense of self-worth, this episode offers wisdom and encouragement for the path forward.

Let’s move into 2025 together with clarity, strength, and love—releasing what no longer serves us and creating space for deeper, more authentic connections with ourselves and others.
