What if the real healing isn’t found in forcing yourself to be stronger, but in deciding its time to awaken?

I’m a couple days away from celebrating 8 years sober, and I’m sharing this as a Soul Journey story. When I finally decided to stop drinking, it was more than giving up alcohol. It was a decision to listen to my Higher Self and step fully into the life my soul was asking for.

In this episode, I take you back to a trip to Southeast Asia that gave me just enough space to remember who I am beneath the chaos. I share the moment that surprised me most, the car ride home from the airport when the old stress returned fast and I could feel the pull to escape rise up in my body. That was the moment I knew I had to choose myself.

Inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, we explore the pain body as the unconscious part of us that clings to old wounds, story, and suffering, always searching for relief.

This teaching aligns so beautifully with the Recover Your Soul process. Waking up is the antidote. Presence is the doorway. And your Soul Journey begins the moment you stop abandoning yourself and start listening within.
