Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life

Embracing Your Authentic Self: Practicing Self-Compassion in Real Life with Progress Not Perfection

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I open up about the real and sometimes painful work of loving ourselves fully—both the light and the shadow. We live in a world that says “be authentic,” while at the same time pushing perfection through filters, quick fixes, and unrealistic expectations. It’s no wonder we feel torn between who we really are and who we think we’re supposed to be.Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we explore what happens when we stop criticizing ourselves with words we’d never say to a friend, and instead begin practicing self-compassion in real life. Together, we’ll look at the deeper patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in not-enoughness, and how those wounds can finally be revealed and healed.Your soul already knows the truth—you are whole, holy, and perfectly enough as you are. When we choose love over fear and release the need to live up to others’ expectations, we remember our sovereignty and step into our unlimited nature.Join me in this conversation about authenticity, aging, self-compassion, and the courage to honor yourself for exactly who you are. You are remembering your wholeness, and in that remembering, you are free.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

You Can’t Control Them—Here’s What You Can Do: The Inner Path to Peace

Send one way text to Rev Rachel When the world feels overwhelming—whether it’s family struggles, the pain of watching a loved one in addiction, or the heaviness of our collective challenges—it’s easy to believe that peace will come once everything “out there” finally settles down. But in Soul Recovery, we learn that waiting for the outside world to change keeps us trapped in fear and frustration. The real transformation begins when we turn inward.In this episode, I share how I’ve been navigating real-life challenges with my family, including my son’s addiction, and how the Soul Recovery process reminds us that we are powerless over others—but never powerless within ourselves. When we shift our focus from control to compassion, from fear to love, we begin to find clarity, strength, and the ability to show up with grace in even the most difficult circumstances. Turning within isn’t an escape from life—it’s the way to live it more fully, with peace and sovereignty.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

Codependency in Disguise: Perfectionism, Fixing, and the Illusion of Control

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm only as happy as my least happy child"? This seemingly loving sentiment actually reveals a profound codependent belief that makes us responsible for others' emotions while neglecting our own healing journey. As I discovered with my own family, no amount of fixing or controlling could make my unhappy child happy—that was his journey to walk. Only when I released my grip on controlling outcomes and turned inward did things begin to transform.Perfectionism, helping behaviors, and our need to "fix" others often masquerade as positive traits—but they're actually sneaky forms of codependency that keep us trapped in cycles of control. When we obsess over making everything perfect or rush to save others from their emotions, we're not being helpful—we're attempting to manage our own discomfort and create safety through control.The 9-Step Soul Recovery Process offers a spiritual path out of these patterns. Through this process, we replace the drive to fix others with self-compassion, embrace new beliefs about our inherent worthiness, and shift our lens from fear to love.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

What Is the Soul, Really? Awakening, Reincarnation, Karma, and the Higher Self

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this week’s episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, we go right to the heart of the question—what is the soul, and what does it mean to truly recover it? For some, this may feel like a brand-new conversation. For others, it may be a familiar curiosity or even a long-standing knowing. Wherever you are on your path, you are welcome here.Together, we explore ideas of reincarnation, karma, and the higher self through the gentle, practical lens of Soul Recovery. Instead of rigid answers or dogma, I invite you into curiosity—because recovering your soul isn’t about becoming something you’re not, it’s about remembering what has always been within you.We’ll look at how different spiritual traditions describe the soul, why our unique gifts and challenges are part of a larger journey, and how even painful experiences can be seen as opportunities for growth and awakening. My hope is that you leave this conversation feeling safe, inspired, and reminded that you are already whole, already connected, and always supported by something greater still.If you’ve ever wondered who you really are beneath the patterns and stories, or if you’re ready to deepen your relationship with your higher self I know this episode will support your Soul Recovery journey.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.
