    E4: The Unraveling and Reverence for the Liminal Space

    In this episode, Raquel explores the liminal space. The in-between season where an old identity, way of life, or foundation begins to dissolve before the next chapter has fully emerged. Through stories of family health challenges, marriage, grief, career shifts, pregnancy, and profound internal reorientation, she reflects on what it means to move through seasons that feel uncertain, destabilizing, and transformative all at once. This episode is an invitation to reconsider what “falling apart” may actually be revealing beneath the surface. In This Episode, We Explore: What the liminal space is and why it can feel so disorienting The human tendency to rush, resist, fix, or escape periods of transition How identity can become tethered to achievement, productivity, and external validation The pendulum swing between authenticity and perceived safety Navigating layered life transitions happening simultaneously Navigating her father’s stroke, her mother’s stroke and her mother crossing over Existential questioning and re-evaluating what truly matters Mother crossing over, leaving advertising, relocating homes, starting a business, and discovering pregnancy within one year The unraveling of familiar identities, structures, and external reference points Pregnancy and birth as an embodied reorientation from the inside out Learning to listen to intuition, the body, and internal guidance Why the liminal space carries its own intelligence and unseen reorganization Creating space for ceremony, grief, reflection, and acknowledgement during transitions Building a life rooted in integrity, authenticity, and inner stability rather than external validation contact Raquel: Website link here Book a discovery call here

    E3: Poetry as a Portal to Peace

    What if peace doesn’t always come from changing your circumstances… but from changing the way you see and relate to them? In this episode of Inner Sanctuary: The Journey Home, Raquel shares how poetry became a space to sit honestly with grief, uncertainty, emotional intensity, and the hidden ways we resist life itself. Through reflections on death, life, motherhood, creative expression, and the ego’s subtle survival strategies, this conversation explores how curiosity, compassion, and self-acceptance can create the inner safety for honesty, clarity, and peace to emerge. This is not a conversation about “fixing yourself.” It’s about learning how to be with yourself. It’s about embracing humanity. In this episode: How poetry became a tool for processing emotional intensity The connection between resistance and suffering What it means to “be with what is” How honesty creates clarity The ego’s ways: defend, protect, hide, and prove Creating inner safety through curiosity, compassion, and tenderness Why peace may not come from changing life… but from changing our relationship to it This episode is for you if: You’re moving through grief, uncertainty, or a major life transition You tend to avoid, suppress, or resist difficult emotions You long to feel more connected to yourself You’re learning to embrace your humanity instead of fighting it You’re craving a softer, more honest way of relating to life ✨ Includes an original poem written after the crossing over of Raquel’s mother:New Beginning ✨ If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone moving through grief, a life transition, or the messy beauty of being human.

    E2:Unlearning Hard Work: Money, Worthiness & Expansion

    In this episode of Inner Sanctuary: The Journey Home, Raquel explores the hidden layers beneath the identity of being a “hard worker.”  This is not a conversation about avoiding work. It’s an exploration of what happens when striving becomes identity, when depletion becomes proof of being deserving and questioning the stories about value, success, sacrifice, and receiving. Through personal storytelling, reflections on lineage, identity unraveling, nervous system recalibration, motherhood, sovereignty, and the natural laws that shape how we experience reality, this episode opens space to consider a different way of relating to life, contribution, and money. If you’ve ever felt caught between survival and thriving… proving and knowing… force and flow… this episode may speak to something  within you. In This Episode: The hidden identity beneath “hard work” How worthiness and money can become unconsciously linked Survival patterns, self-abandonment, and achievement Identity unraveling and the liminal space between who we were and who we truly are Service, contribution, and conscious living Motherhood and inviting our children into daily rituals and rhythms Redefining, reorienting, and shifting the relationship with work  Money, expansion, and shifting what we are available for The natural laws of the universe as guiding principles Returning to inner alignment, sovereignty, and choice Resources Mentioned: Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff YOU ARE MONEY by Brian Scott Amma Peter Crone Mastermind 12 Laws of the Universe by  Manhardeep Singh Be Smart, Pay Zero Taxes by Mark J.

    E1: The Day I Realized I Had a Choice

    In this first episode, I share a moment where so much began to shift. I thought I was doing everything “right,” yet I felt deeply unfulfilled. The question, How can I be so unfulfilled?  led me on a journey of questioning the foundations I had been living within, from food and health to education, work, money, birth, parenting and more. This episode explores the shift from living on autopilot to recognizing that I had a choice, and what it means to begin living from the inside out. It’s also an introduction to this podcast and the real-time journey of building a homestead and sanctuary with my family, as an outer expression of the inner journey home. A glimpse into this episode: A pivotal moment when everything began to shift, sharing a poem about this time in my life How this moment transformed the way I relate to my life which sparked the  beginning of a 17-year journey of self-discovery and coming home to myself Moving from living through “shoulds” and expectations to choosing from internal alignment Questioning the systems I was unconsciously living within A new way of relating to my  body as something to listen to, rather than fix or control Letting go of right/wrong thinking  What it means to live from an internal compass rather than external conditioning An introduction to the deeper themes of this podcast: connection, sovereignty, and whole-systems living A glimpse into the real-time creation of our homestead and sanctuary, co-created with the land Contact Raquel: Book a complimentary discovery call here Visit her website here
