    Releasing Blame: Choosing Honesty, Responsibility, and Healing to Recover Your Soul

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    This year’s theme is Acceptance as a Path to Peace, and in this episode I return to a topic that quietly keeps so many of us stuck: blame.

    Blame can feel justified when life has been painful. When relationships are complicated. When we’ve felt hurt, abandoned, or misunderstood. But over time, blame keeps our attention focused outward, tying our sense of peace to other people’s choices and behavior.

    In this episode, I share honestly from my own life, my marriage, my recovery journey, and what I’ve witnessed walking alongside hundreds of people on their healing path. For me, blame often showed up as “trying to help,” “pointing things out,” or wishing someone else would change and how spiritual practice helped me see what was really happening underneath.

    We explore how releasing blame doesn’t mean minimizing your pain or pretending things didn’t matter. It means becoming willing to be honest with yourself, to turn inward, and to stop giving your power away.

    How to Stay Grounded When Someone You Love Is Frustrated or Upset with the Recover Your Soul Process

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    If you’re an empath, a people-pleaser, or someone healing from codependency, you know how quickly another person’s mood can affect your own.

    In this episode, I share a very real moment from my own life that happened on my birthday, when my husband had a tense reaction over a small laundry mishap. It wasn’t a big moment, but it was a familiar one. His frustration immediately shifted the energy in the room, and I could feel my old patterns wanting to take over, the urge to fix it, smooth it over, or make it better and to make it my fault.

    What made this moment different is that I stayed present with myself.

    This episode is about learning how to stay grounded when someone you love is frustrated or upset, without absorbing their energy, abandoning yourself, or shutting down emotionally. It’s about allowing others to have their feelings while learning that you don’t have to carry them.

    Through the lens of the Recover Your Soul Process, we explore how acceptance, awareness, and loving boundaries help us respond differently. Not perfectly, but consciously. Not by disconnecting, but by staying rooted in compassion and self-trust using loving detachment.

    Healing doesn’t mean the people in our lives will neve

    You Can Be Happy Even When Others Aren’t: Acceptance as a Path to Healing from Codependency

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    You Can Be Happy Even When Others Aren’t: Acceptance as a Path to Healing from Codependency

    One of the most painful beliefs many of us carry is that we can only be okay when the people around us are okay.

    This belief sits at the core of codependency, people-pleasing, control, and self-abandonment. It keeps us exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from our own lives as we try to manage, fix, or emotionally carry the experiences of others.

    In this episode, I introduce the theme for 2026 on the Recover Your Soul Podcast: Acceptance as a Path to Peace. We explore what acceptance really means from a spiritual perspective and what it does not mean. Acceptance is not giving up, denying reality, or tolerating what harms us. It is learning to see what is clearly, without resistance, so we can stop abandoning ourselves and begin healing.

    This episode invites you to consider a new possibility:
    That your happiness does not require anyone else to change or heal.

    Season 7 Begins: Releasing the Inner Critic and Choosing Self-Compassion in 2026

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    Season 7 Begins: Releasing the Inner Critic and Choosing Self-Compassion in 2026

    As Season 7 of the Recover Your Soul Podcast begins, I invite you into a deeper conversation about healing self-judgment and choosing a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

    The spiritual path to a happy and healthy life is not linear. For many of us, the journey into healing begins through codependency, people pleasing, over-functioning, and self-abandonment. We learn early on to take care of others, to stay small, and to silence our own needs in order to feel safe or loved. Over time, this creates an inner critic that speaks harshly in the name of protection.

    In this episode, I reflect on how the Recover Your Soul Process invites us to gently uncover these patterns, understand where they came from, and release what no longer serves us. As we step into 2026 and a new season, we are being called to move beyond awareness and into embodiment, living from our wholeness rather than our wounds.

    Al-Anon and Recover Your Soul: Healing Codependency Through the Power of Surrender

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    While I am away this month, I’m sharing another listener-favorite replay from the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast. This episode comes from our reflections on Al-Anon through the lens of the Recover Your Soul Process, exploring one of the most life-changing shifts on this journey: the surrender that frees us from codependency.

    So many of us have lived in the exhausting cycle of trying to fix, control, or anticipate someone else’s behavior. We analyze every interaction. We hold silent resentments. We tense our bodies hoping we can make everything okay. But eventually the strain becomes too much. We feel tired. We feel defeated. And we know something has to change.

    In today’s episode, we reflect on a powerful reading from In All Our Affairs that asks the simple, courageous question:
    Am I willing to give up the struggle?

    This invitation isn’t resignation. It’s remembering your own wholeness and handing back what was never yours to carry. It’s letting go of the quiet contempt, the overthinking, the n

    Al-Anon and Recover Your Soul: Stop Losing Yourself &amp; The Path from People-Pleasing to Authenticity

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    This week, while I am away, I’m sharing a replay from the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast. Together, we explore one of the tender teachings from Al-Anon through the lens of Recover Your Soul, the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending you’re fine and to gently return to yourself.

    Many of us learned to people-please as a way to stay safe. We tried to hold the family together, soften the edges for everyone else, and become whatever version of ourselves we thought was needed in the moment. And over time, that way of living can pull us farther and farther away from our own truth, our own voice, and even our own feelings.

    In this episode, we reflect on a beautiful reading from In All Our Affairs about “the obligation to be myself.” We look at what it means to slowly release the façade, to feel what you feel without managing the emotions of everyone around you, and to begin discovering who you truly are and not who you learned to be.

    Through my perspective in Recover Your Soul, we look at
     • why authenticity is part of spiritual awakening
     • how people-pleasing keeps us disconnected from our true selves
     • why detachment creates space for everyone’s growth
     • the difference between being “

    Al-Anon and Powerlessness: Detaching with Love When Someone You Love Is Hurting

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    What do you do when someone you love is hurting and you cannot fix it?
    This episode explores one of the most challenging spiritual lessons, learning to detach with love. Through the lens of both Al-Anon and the Recover Your Soul process, we look at how to witness another’s pain without absorbing it, rescuing them, or losing yourself in the process.

    We reflect on trusting each soul’s journey, creating compassionate boundaries, and choosing your own peace even when the people you love are struggling. This is tender, sacred work, and it reminds us that we are held by something greater still.

    You’ve Come Further Than You Think: A Recover Your Soul Reflection for 2025

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    As we close out 2025, I want to invite you to take a gentle moment to recognize how much you’ve grown.

    When you’re recovering from codependency, people-pleasing, and the habit of trying to manage everything around you, progress often shows up in quiet ways. A pause before reacting. A boundary you were once afraid to set. A moment of choosing peace over control. These shifts matter. They are the foundation of the Recover Your Soul Process.

    In this episode, we look back together at the small but powerful changes that shape an entirely new way of being. Whether you arrived here through Al-Anon, through a painful relationship pattern, or through a longing to feel more connected to yourself, I want you to see just how far you’ve already come.

    We talk about awakening, the year’s energetic shifts, and why so many sensitive souls are feeling called to release old stories and step into deeper truth. You are not alone. You are part of something unfolding, and your healing is part of that greater transformation.

    Let this episode be a reminder: you are doing the work. You are waking up. And you deserve to feel proud of the courage it takes to reclaim your own life.

    Until next time,

    How to Stay Centered Around Family: Learning to Feel, Heal, and Allow

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    The holidays have a way of bringing everything to the surface - the joy, the love, the tenderness, and also the old stories, the anxieties, and the patterns we thought we were done with. Being around family gives us a front-row seat to our operating system, the parts of us that still tighten, protect, or try to keep the peace.

    In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I talk about the real spiritual work of being with family while staying connected to yourself. We explore how to actually feel your feelings rather than suppress them, how to listen to the information they carry, and how to recognize when you’ve slipped into old roles of managing, pleasing, or fixing.

    This is the heart of the Recover Your Soul Process - learning to turn inward with curiosity and compassion, letting the emotions arise without judgment, and allowing others to be exactly who they are.

    My hope is that these reflections help you stay rooted in yourself through the holiday season - not armored, not shut down, but presen

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    As we enter the holiday season, many of us feel the familiar pull of old patterns… the pressure to keep everyone happy, the fear of conflict, and the overwhelm of family dynamics. In this episode, we explore how gratitude can become a powerful spiritual tool. Not for fixing anyone else, but for staying grounded, present, and connected to your own inner peace.

    I share simple Recover Your Soul practices you can use before, during, and after family gatherings to help you soften, breathe, release control, and return to yourself. These tools support you in choosing presence over perfection, compassion over judgment, and allowing over absorbing. You will learn more about:

    • gratitude as a lens that dissolves judgment
    • moving from control to spiritual sovereignty
    • holiday triggers, expectations, and old roles
    • powerlessness over others, power over self
    • family systems, secrecy, and generational healing
    • micro-gratitude and grounding practices

    Seeing Recovery, Codependency, and Addiction as a Path to Awakening to Recover Your Soul

    I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.

    Many of us arrive here because someone we love is struggling - addiction, depression, or the weight of life - and we’ve carried it all, believing we had to fix it. But what if the moments that feel like collapse, yours or theirs, are actually the opening your soul has been waiting for?

    In this episode, we explore how “wall-hitting moments” can shift us from fear and managing to witnessing and allowing. I share from my own recovery from alcoholism and years of codependency, and how everything changed when I turned inward and began to recover my soul.

    In this episode I talk about: 

    • seeing someone else’s rock bottom as an invitation for your own awakening
    • moving from control to compassion
    • the difference between accepting and allowing
    • trusting each person’s unique soul path
    • finding your center even when others are not okay
