    The Power of Self-Forgiveness: A Process to Release Shame, Guilt, and Regret

    What if one of the most powerful things we can do for our healing is to stop holding ourselves hostage to the past? I have been thinking a lot about self-forgiveness lately. We can spend so much of our lives going back over what we should have done, what we wish we had said, the choices we regret, the ways we think we failed, or the times we weren't who we wanted to be. And when we keep judging ourselves for those moments, we keep ourselves connected to the pain. In this episode, I share a simple practice that has been opening something up for me: “I forgive myself for…” I sat down one morning and began writing, and what came out surprised me. I found myself forgiving the younger parts of me who thought I had to perform to be loved, forgiving myself for choices that weren't kind to myself, and offering compassion to the woman I was in moments when I simply didn't know another way. Self-forgiveness doesn't mean that we pretend something didn't happen or that we don't take responsibility for our choices. It means we stop using shame, guilt, regret, and judgment to continue hurting ourselves. We begin to understand the patterns and beliefs that shaped us, give ourselves grace, and remember that we can choose again. I also share how this practice has shown up in my marriage and in my own recovery, and why I now see self-forgiveness as such an important part of Step Five of the Recover Your Soul Process. If Recover Your Soul is about anything, I believe it is about self-love. And sometimes self-love begins with simply saying, I forgive myself. Together we can do the work that will Recover Your Soul.   💛 Send a one way text to Rev Rachel 🦋 Recover Your Soul Immersion Retreat | October 17–18 Join me for two days to go deeper into the Recover Your Soul Process.

    How to Find Peace Without Changing the Situation: The “All Is Well” Soul Practice

    You can also begin with the FREE Recover Your Soul 9-Step Workbook: https://www.recoveryoursoul.net/whatisrecoveryoursoul What do you do when something is happening that you really, really want to change? When you're worried about someone you love, something isn't going the way you hoped, or you're feeling triggered and activated, our first instinct can be to try to fix it, control it, or make it different. But what if peace doesn't require the situation to change? In this Soul Practice, I want to share a tool that I have been using for years: All Is Well. I first began working with this practice when I was getting sober and attending Al-Anon meetings, when there was plenty happening around me that I desperately wanted to change. At first, saying "all is well" felt almost impossible. How could I say that when things clearly weren't well? Over time, I began to understand that this wasn't about pretending everything was okay or bypassing the pain. It was about bringing myself back into the present moment, back into my body and my heart, and remembering that I could be okay even when I couldn't control what was happening around me. In this episode, I walk you through the practice and share how I have used it through some very complicated situations in my own life. We talk about releasing control, changing our perception, calming our nervous system, and finding that place inside where we can be with what is without fighting against it. The more we practice these tools, the easier it becomes to reach for something new instead of automatically falling back into our old patterns. This is the first episode in my Soul Practices series, where I am sharing simple, grounded spiritual tools that you can actually use in your everyday life. Try it with me. Use it once a day this week, whether you're in the middle of something difficult or simply want to practice coming into a deeper sense of peace. All is well. Not because everything is going to happen exactly the way we want it to. But because, in this moment, we can come back to ourselves. The Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast is where I share Soul Practices like this one, along with deeper teachings, spiritual book studies, interviews, and reflections inspired by Al-Anon, metaphysics, and healing from within. The Bonus Podcast is available to Patreon members, Apple Podcast and YouTube  subscribers. If you'd like to explore it without making a commitment, you can become a FREE Patreon member and receive new Bonus Podcast episodes for the first few weeks after they are released. And if you want to go deeper, members and subscribers have access to the full Recover Your Soul library of more than 200 episodes for about the price of a cup of coffee.

    Recover Your Soul Practices: Noticing the Good and the Beautiful

    What are you noticing? It is so easy to become focused on what isn't working, what needs to change, what we don't like, or what we wish were different. Many of us have been conditioned to look for the problem before we notice anything else. But this Soul Practice invites us to begin looking in another direction. Noticing the good and the beautiful. This isn't about ignoring what is difficult or pretending everything is okay. We can have discernment. We can acknowledge what isn't working. We can set boundaries and make different choices. And we can also notice what is good. What is working. What is beautiful. What brings us joy. What is good in another person. What is good within ourselves. This is part of the work of Recover Your Soul. As we become aware of our patterns and the ways we have learned to perceive our lives, we begin to recognize that we have a choice about where we place our attention. And sometimes changing our perception begins with something very simple: Notice. Notice the moment of connection. Notice the beauty around you. Notice something you appreciate. Notice the goodness that is already here. And then, perhaps most importantly, practice turning that same loving attention toward yourself. What if you spent a little more time noticing what is good and beautiful? That is our Soul Practice for today. 🧡 With love, Rev. Rachel Ready to Recover Your Soul?

    Choosing to Be Spiritually Awake: Releasing Control, Changing Your Perception, and Finding Peace

    What does it mean to be spiritually awake? I don't believe it means that life suddenly becomes easy or that we stop having painful, complicated, very human experiences. Life is still going to be lifey. For me, awakening is becoming more aware of what is happening inside of me and remembering that I have a choice in how I experience what is happening around me. In this episode, I share a very real situation with my son that gave me an opportunity to practice the Recover Your Soul Process right in the middle of something scary and emotional.  Rather than simply talking about the nine steps, I walk through them as I was actually experiencing this situation. What was I feeling? What was I trying to control? What was underneath my reaction? And how could I choose to see it differently? This is what Recover Your Soul has become for me. Not fixing ourselves or getting to a place where nothing ever hurts, but becoming aware of our patterns, beliefs, and stories and learning that we can choose again. In this episode, we explore: • What spiritual awakening looks like in everyday life  • Working the Recover Your Soul 9-Step Process through a real-life experience  • Releasing control and changing our perception  • Recognizing old patterns when they show up  • Moving from reaction into awareness and choice  • Finding peace without needing everything around us to be peaceful If you've found Recover Your Soul through Al-Anon, codependency, addiction, people pleasing, or the struggle to let go of control, I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse of where the work can take us. I'm still learning and practicing this right alongside you. Sometimes the moments we never would have chosen become the moments that show us how much we've changed. Take what you need and leave the rest. I'm so grateful you're here. Namaste,  Rev.

    Waking Up to Your Self: Healing Emotional Patterns and Finding Your True Self with Patrick Marando

    What if the patterns you have spent years judging yourself for were actually ways you learned to survive? In this conversation, I’m joined by psychologist, spiritual teacher, and author Patrick Marando, author of Waking Up to Your Self. We explore emotional conditioning, people pleasing, self-worth, self-love, and the journey of reconnecting with the True Self beneath our old patterns. Patrick and I found so much common ground in the way we understand healing. We talk about recognizing the beliefs and patterns that create suffering, learning to allow uncomfortable emotions rather than trying to control them, and gently developing more self-love, self-trust, and compassion. We also explore how meditation can help us become more aware of what we're experiencing in our bodies and emotions, and how that awareness can help us return to a more peaceful and authentic way of being. This conversation is a beautiful companion to the Recover Your Soul Process and an invitation to look at your own patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Learn more about Patrick and his work at patrickmarando.com. Thank you for walking this journey of healing and awakening with me. Together, we can do the work that will Recover Your Soul. 🧡 Ready to Recover Your Soul?

    What Changes When You See People as Souls? Releasing the Need to Fix, Judge, or Change Them

    I've been thinking a lot about how we choose to see and interact with the people in our lives. Especially the ones we love the most. What if we could begin to see them not just as their choices, their behaviors, their wounds, or the stories we've created about them, but as souls having their own human experience? What happens when we stop trying to fix people? What happens when we release the need for them to be different so that we can be okay? And what happens when we remember that their soul journey is theirs, just as ours is ours? This is a deeper conversation about the spiritual side of Recover Your Soul, about remembering our wholeness, releasing judgment, and beginning to see the people around us in a different way. I'm sharing some of what I've been learning and experiencing, including some ideas about souls, our human experience, and why I believe the people who challenge us can sometimes be some of our greatest teachers. As always, take what you need and leave the rest. I'm just sharing what I'm discovering on my own journey, and I hope something in this conversation opens a new way of seeing for you too. 🎁 Get your FREE Recover Your Soul 9-Step Workbook: https://www.recoveryoursoul.net/whatisrecoveryoursoul Thank you for being here and walking this wild, beautiful journey with me.

    How to Stop Worrying About Your Adult Children: Letting Go of Control and Trusting Their Journey

    If you're a parent, you probably know this feeling. No matter how old our children are, we never stop wanting to protect them. We want to guide them, encourage them, and help them avoid some of the heartache we experienced ourselves. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. As my own boys have grown into adulthood, I've realized that one of the greatest invitations of this stage of parenting isn't learning how to love them more. It's learning how to trust their journey while continuing to love them deeply. For a long time, I believed that if one of my children was struggling, it was my job to figure out how to make it better. I thought worrying meant I was being a good mom. I thought helping meant offering advice, solving problems, and trying to keep them from making mistakes or being uncomfortable. But my own healing has gently shown me something different. What if our adult children aren't ours to fix, change or even to tell them what to do? What if they're here to have their own unique human experience, learning through both their joys and their challenges on their soul journey? What if loving them doesn't mean keeping them from discomfort, but trusting that even the difficult parts of their journey have purpose too. That doesn't mean we stop caring. It doesn't mean we stop loving or even supporting in a healthy way. It simply means we begin releasing the belief that their happiness determines our own. This conversation isn't about becoming a perfect parent. I certainly haven't been one. It's about exploring another way of seeing. One that has brought so much more peace into my own heart. If you've been lying awake worrying about your adult children, wishing you could make different choices for them, or wondering how to love them without losing yourself, I hope you'll find something in this conversation that may shift how you are seeing the situation and the people in your life- and in the end you find a little peace.  In This Episode Why worrying can quietly become another form of trying to controlSeeing your adult children through love instead of fearHow our own discomfort often fuels our desire to fix someone else's lifeWhy acceptance becomes a path to peaceTrusting your adult children's soul journey while continuing to love them deeply with healthy detachmentReleasing the belief that someone else's happiness determines your ownReturning your attention to your own healing and spiritual awakeningA Few Questions to Sit With Where am I carrying responsibility that isn't mine?What fears come up when I imagine letting go of control?Can I love someone deeply without trying to change them?What might become possible if I trusted both my journey and theirs?Continue Your Soul Recovery Journey 🎁 Download your FREE Recover Your Soul™ 9-Step Workbook Begin your Recover Your Soul journey by exploring the beliefs, patterns, and stories that may no longer serve you, reconnecting with your Higher Power, and remembering your wholeness.
