Awareness is the first step to change. In this episode, we dive deep into the power of awareness as a cornerstone of the Soul Recovery process. Inspired by the November 25th reading from The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie, we reflect on how awareness allows us to step back from fear and control, preparing us for growth and transformation.

As we approach the holiday season—a time often filled with old patterns, family dynamics, and the desire for perfection—this episode offers tools to help you stay grounded, mindful, and aligned with your higher self. Together, we’ll explore the cycle of awareness, acceptance, and change, discovering how to reclaim your power and let go of the need to fix or control those around you.

Join me as we reflect on how Soul Recovery provides the spiritual strength and clarity to navigate life's complexities with grace and authenticity. Whether you're spending the holidays with family, friends, or simply holding space for yourself, this episode is a loving reminder to honor your own journey.

Today's episode is inspired by this question from an anonymous member of the Recover Your Soul Facebook community. "My spouse is currently sober and I want to know, how and when can I talk about things that he had done while under the influence that were immensely painful to me, without seeming like I’m shaming him.  What would be the best approach?"
Reading from 'How Al-Anon Works for Friends and Families of Alcoholics', Rev Rachel reflects on the importance of compassionate communication and using the Soul Recovery process to heal from difficult and painful life experiences.  We can not change the past, however, we can work to let go of the pain and resentment that those experiences have been for us in our lives and relationships and learn how to communicate in healthy and open ways.

In this episode of the Recover Your Soul podcast, we explore one of the most profound questions in relationships: how to know whether to stay or leave. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we’ll look at how relationships, whether they’re sources of love, challenge, or growth, can be powerful mirrors for our inner healing. This journey invites us to step into our own wholeness, moving beyond fear, codependency, or people-pleasing, and learning to listen to the wisdom within. Relationships have seasons, and part of our Soul Recovery process is gaining clarity on whether a relationship still aligns with our true self or if it’s time to release it with compassion. It’s not about a “right” or “wrong” decision but about trusting your soul’s wisdom to lead you towards greater peace, healing, and joy in your life. Join me as we tap into this courageous self-inquiry and open ourselves to the possibility that, by honoring our own path, we step closer to the life our soul truly seeks.

In this episode of the Recover Your Soul podcast, we’re talking about the changes in friendships that naturally happen as we grow spiritually. On the Soul Recovery path, as we become more aligned with our authentic selves, we may find that some relationships no longer resonate. Letting go of friendships that don’t support our well-being is a powerful step toward honoring who we are becoming. This shift is not about judging others but about recognizing when connections no longer feel healthy or fulfilling. In this episode, we’ll dive into the courage it takes to release these relationships, create space for friendships that truly uplift us, and deepen our understanding of compassion and detachment as essential parts of the Soul Recovery journey. If you're ready to embrace relationships that reflect your growth, this conversation will guide you.

In this episode of the Recover Your Soul podcast, we dive deep into the complexities of healing relationships—both financially and emotionally—on the path from addiction to authenticity. Whether you’ve been impacted by addiction yourself or by the dysfunction of others, the journey to recovery offers profound opportunities for growth and transformation.

I open up about my own experiences with my husband, Rich, and the layers of healing we’ve navigated around money, trust, and communication. For so many of us, financial struggles in relationships mirror deeper emotional wounds that need to be addressed, and this process isn’t easy. It requires us to step into vulnerability, let go of past stories, and create space for new possibilities.

Through Soul Recovery, we’re invited to look beyond the surface of addiction and see the true, authentic self—both in ourselves and in those we love. This episode explores how healing these wounds can bring deeper connection, trust, and alignment in relationships.

In this episode I’m stepping outside of our usual conversations on codependency, people-pleasing, and addiction to address the heaviness many of us are feeling in the world today. Between natural disasters like hurricanes and fires, political tension, and the ongoing wars, it can feel overwhelming. How do we hold space for these crises without getting lost in fear and worry? How can we be of service to others without losing ourselves in the process?

Join me as I explore how Soul Recovery can help us navigate these turbulent times by turning inward, focusing on our own spiritual growth, and co-creating with a higher power. Through compassion, light, and trust, we can hold space for others while staying connected to our own inner peace. I’ll share personal stories and offer tools to help you rise above the fear, step into your power, and find strength in your spiritual journey—no matter what’s happening in the world around us.

May this episode bring you comfort and inspiration to stay grounded and open-hearted in the face of life’s storms. Together, we can Recover our Souls and bring more light to ourselves and others. Namaste.

Drawing on her own experiences, she reflects on the wisdom of detachment as taught in Al-Anon and how it has transformed her life and relationships. Through her discussion of the seven detachments and readings from How Al-Anon Works for Families and Friends of Alcoholics, she highlights the importance of emotional and spiritual boundaries and the powerful tool of detaching with love.

Please note: Rev. Rachel Harrison does not speak for or represent Al-Anon, but shares her personal journey of transformation through her experience in the program and the insights that inspired the Soul Recovery path.

In this episode, we dive deep into the profound question: "Who do you need me to be to love me?" Inspired by a quote from Kortney Rivard on Tiny Buddha, I explore how we often shape-shift in relationships to gain love and acceptance, abandoning our own needs and truth in the process. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we’ll talk about breaking free from the patterns of codependency and self-abandonment, and how to show up authentically in our relationships with a compassionate, strong, and empowered voice. Join me as we uncover how to reclaim your truth and live from your authentic self.

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to reclaim your personal power? This week, I share my deeply personal journey of overcoming alcoholism and codependency and how I stopped blaming my husband for my unhappiness to discover genuine healing. The focus is on the transformative power of turning inward and embracing personal responsibility to foster growth and empowerment.

We explore the detrimental effects of the blame game on our lives and relationships. Holding onto resentment and waiting for others to acknowledge their wrongdoings only keeps us trapped in cycles of pain. I share heartfelt personal stories to illustrate the importance of Soul Recovery, internal forgiveness, and raising our consciousness. By shifting our focus from external validation to internal healing, we can detach from restrictive expectations and reclaim our personal power.  The episode underscores the strength that comes from releasing blame and connecting with our true selves and a higher source. We'll discuss how letting go of past traumas and adopting love and compassion can heal us and strengthen our boundaries.
