  2. Letting Go of Being Right: How to Take Your Power Back and Choose Inner Peace

    6d ago

    Letting Go of Being Right: How to Take Your Power Back and Choose Inner Peace

    Letting Go of Being Right: How to Take Your Power Back and Choose Inner PeaceAs recovering people pleasers and codependents, many of us learned that if we could just explain ourselves better, convince someone of our point of view, or get them to see things our way, everything would finally feel okay. The problem is that living this way keeps us on an emotional battlefield. We become exhausted trying to manage, control, fix, defend, and prove. We fight for approval. We fight to be understood. We fight to be right. And underneath all of that fighting is often something much more tender: a desire to feel safe, valued, heard, and enough. In this episode, I share a very personal story from my own marriage that reminded me how quickly old patterns can surface, even after years of healing. What started as an innocent comment from my husband unexpectedly activated a deep fear inside me, creating an opportunity to witness an old protective system that still occasionally shows up. The beautiful thing about this work is that awareness changes everything. As we heal, we begin to recognize that letting go of being right does not mean giving up our voice. It doesn't mean abandoning our needs, our boundaries, or our truth. Instead, it means releasing the belief that our peace depends on someone else agreeing with us. When we stop fighting every battle, we discover something powerful: we can stand in our truth without needing to control anyone else's. When we release the need to prove, convince, defend, and manage, we create space for something much deeper: compassion, connection, and inner freedom. Your voice matters. Your feelings matter. Your perspective matters. And you don't need anyone else's permission for that to be true. Until next time, namaste. 💜 💜 In this episode, I also share about attending a powerful weekend of spiritual teachings, channeling, and connection at Gaia.

  4. When Looking Back Hurts: Releasing Regret, Judgment, and Old Wounds through Self-Compassion and Grace

    When Looking Back Hurts: Releasing Regret, Judgment, and Old Wounds through Self-Compassion and Grace

    Have you ever looked back on a season of your life and wished it had been different? Maybe you wish you had known then what you know now. Maybe you wish you had made different choices, shown up differently, or been able to protect the people you love from pain. Perhaps there are memories that still carry regret, remorse, sadness, or a lingering sense that things should have gone another way. In this episode, I share a deeply personal experience that arose as I prepared to send family photo albums and keepsakes to my sons. Looking through pictures from years gone by brought forward an unexpected wave of emotion and a question many of us have asked ourselves: Why did it have to be so hard? As I sat with those feelings, I was reminded that healing isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's not about bypassing the pain or convincing ourselves that everything was perfect. Healing is about learning how to hold our memories with compassion, tenderness, and grace. When we continue to replay our past through the lens of judgment, regret, and self-blame, we keep old wounds alive. But when we bring awareness, self-compassion, and spiritual understanding to those experiences, something begins to shift. The past remains the same, but our relationship to it can heal. In this episode, we explore how to honor our feelings without becoming trapped in them, how to release old judgments, and how to view our lives through the lens of a soul's journey rather than a story of mistakes and failures. Because the truth is, you cannot change the past. But you can heal the way you carry it.

    The Universe Didn't Give You Those Gifts to Hide: A Step 6 Teaching on Acknowledging Your Authentic Self

    One of the most beautiful shifts that happens in the Recover Your Soul™ Process is the moment we stop identifying ourselves by our wounds and begin reconnecting with the truth of who we are. In Steps 1 through 5, we've been developing awareness around our suffering, our patterns, beliefs, stories, protectors, and the ways we learned to navigate life. We've explored responsibility, forgiveness, and the possibility that there is something greater guiding us on this Soul Journey. Now Step 6 invites us into something new. It asks us to acknowledge our gifts. Not someday when we're fully healed. Not after we've fixed everything. Not once we've earned it. Now. In this teaching from a live Self-Study Collective session, we explore what it means to reclaim the strengths, assets, talents, and authentic qualities that have always been part of who we are. We look at how our protectors often developed around our deepest gifts and how comparison, fear, rejection, and old stories can keep us from fully expressing ourselves. The truth is that Spirit did not bring you here to hide. Your gifts matter. Your presence matters. Your unique expression of love, creativity, wisdom, compassion, leadership, service, and authenticity matters. As we continue rewriting our personal story from a foundation of truth and love, we begin to see ourselves through the eyes of our Higher Self rather than through the lens of old wounds. This teaching is an invitation to turn the card over once again and consciously choose your strengths, your assets, and your authentic nature. "The world doesn't need you to become someone else. It needs you to become more fully yourself." If you feel called to go deeper into the Recover Your Soul™ Process, I would love to welcome you into the Self-Study Collective. Inside the Collective, you'll have immediate access to the complete 9-Step Recover Your Soul™ Process of Healing and Awakening, including all of the teachings, worksheets, guided reflections, and resources designed to support you as you move through the steps at your own pace. You'll also be invited to join my live Zoom teaching sessions twice each month, where we come together as a community to explore the Process, share insights, ask questions, and deepen our understanding of the work. These gatherings are one of my favorite parts of the Collective because they remind us that we are not walking this Soul Journey alone. Whether you're just beginning the steps or revisiting them with fresh awareness, the Collective offers a supportive space to continue healing, awakening, and remembering who you truly are. You can learn more and join us at https://www.recoveryoursoul.net/groupcoachingandplans I would be honored to walk alongside you 🧡 Rev Rachel

    Michael Mirdad | Addiction, Spiritual Recovery, and Healing the Void Within

    While I usually reserve guest interviews for the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast, today's conversation is one I felt called to bring to all of you here on the main show. I'm honored to welcome Michael Mirdad, a Spiritual Teacher, Healer, Mystic, and Best-Selling Author. Michael has spent more than four decades helping people heal, awaken, and deepen their connection to God, blending wisdom from Christianity, Buddhism, A Course in Miracles, and recovery in a way that is both profound and deeply practical. In this conversation, he shares a powerful perspective on addiction, recovery, and healing, reminding us that beneath many of our struggles is a longing to reconnect with our true nature and remember the wholeness that has always existed within us. Together we explore addiction as a spiritual issue rather than a moral failing, the relationship between recovery and awakening, the role of compassion and self-forgiveness, and how spiritual connection can help us heal the sense of separation that so many of us carry. Whether you are in recovery yourself, love someone who struggles with addiction, or are simply walking a path of healing and spiritual growth, I believe you'll find wisdom, hope, and encouragement in this conversation. Michael serves as the Spiritual Leader of the Global Center for Christ Consciousness in Sedona, Arizona, where he offers weekly teachings, workshops, retreats, and healing programs dedicated to spiritual awakening and personal transformation. He is the author of numerous best-selling books and the founder of the Daughters of Heaven Conference, a gathering devoted to healing, empowerment, and conscious living.

  7. Recover Your Soul Practices: Breath for Anxiety, Presence, and Inner Peace

    Recover Your Soul Practices: Breath for Anxiety, Presence, and Inner Peace

    Welcome back to the Recover Your Soul Practices series, where we explore simple yet powerful tools you can use in your everyday life to support your healing, awakening, and spiritual growth. In our last episode, we explored the practice of "All Is Well" as a way to calm fear, anxiety, and the need to control outcomes. This week, we're building on that foundation with one of the most accessible and powerful tools available to us at all times: our breath. The beautiful thing about breath is that it is always with you. You don't need a special meditation cushion, a quiet room, or extra time in your day. Whether you're sitting in traffic, having a difficult conversation, standing in the grocery store, lying awake at night, or feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, your breath is available as a resource to help you return to yourself. In this episode, I share how conscious breathing can help regulate your nervous system, bring you back into the present moment, and reconnect you with your inner wisdom and spiritual center. We explore the relationship between breath, anxiety, emotional regulation, and awareness, as well as how this simple practice can support you when life feels uncertain, stressful, or overwhelming. This isn't a lesson on advanced breathwork techniques. Instead, it's an invitation to begin noticing your breath and using it as a practical tool for grounding, calming, and reconnecting with your wholeness. Because sometimes the most profound healing begins with a single conscious breath. In This Episode: Why breath is one of the most powerful tools in your Recover Your Soul toolbox The connection between breath, the nervous system, and emotional regulation How conscious breathing helps bring you back to the present moment Using breath during anxiety, stress, and difficult situations The relationship between breath, awareness, and spiritual connection How breath can help you stay grounded when others around you are activated Simple ways to begin incorporating conscious breathing into your daily life Why one intentional breath can change your experience of a challenging moment My hope is that this practice reminds you that support is always available. Even in the midst of uncertainty, discomfort, or fear, your breath can help guide you back to presence, peace, and the wisdom that already exists within you. Take a breath. All is well. And you are not alone on this journey. Until next time, namaste. Rev Rachel Ready to Recover Your Soul?

    Are You Looking for What's Wrong? Breaking Free from the Habit of Discontent

    Have you ever noticed that even when things are going well, there can still be a part of you looking for what's missing, what's not working, or what needs to change before you can finally feel at peace? In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I share a teaching from Pema Chödrön's book How We Live Is How We Die that has stayed with me for weeks: the propensity for discontent. The phrase struck me because I could see how often many of us move through life carrying an unconscious habit of looking for what's wrong. We think that if we could just fix the relationship, heal the wound, change the circumstance, or get to the next goal, then we would finally be okay. But what if peace isn't waiting on the other side of everything changing? What if the invitation is to become aware of the lens through which we're already seeing our lives? In this conversation, I explore the Buddhist teaching of the kleshas: attachment, resistance, and delusion. These are the habitual ways we become disconnected from our peace and our true nature. As I share in the Recover Your Soul process, these patterns often show up as our unconscious beliefs, stories, fears, judgments, and attempts to control life around us. Together we'll look at how attachment keeps us grasping for things to be different, how resistance keeps us fighting reality, and how delusion can keep us trapped in old stories and misunderstandings that prevent us from seeing ourselves and our lives clearly. This isn't about pretending everything is fine or pushing away difficult feelings. It's about learning to be present with what is, while bringing more awareness, compassion, and curiosity to the patterns that create suffering. The beautiful gift of this work is that the very places where we get stuck can become doorways to wisdom, healing, and awakening. In This Episode: What Pema Chödrön means by "the propensity for discontent"How the habit of looking for what's wrong affects our happinessUnderstanding the three kleshas: attachment, resistance, and delusionThe connection between Buddhist wisdom and the Recover Your Soul processHow our patterns, beliefs, and stories shape our experience of lifeLearning to witness difficult emotions without judging ourselvesWhy awareness is the first step toward healing and transformationHow to find greater peace in the present moment, even when life isn't perfectMy hope is that this episode helps you become a little more aware of the ways you may be searching for what's missing and instead begin noticing what is already here. We are all learning together how to release old patterns, soften our judgments, and reconnect with the wholeness that has always existed within us.
