    From Codependency to Self-Love: How to Open Your Heart Without Abandoning Yourself | 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.

    What if loving deeply didn’t mean losing yourself?

    In this episode, I reflect on self-love through the lens of the Recover Your Soul process and my own journey from codependency, control, and self-sacrifice into something far more grounded and whole.

    So many of us learned early on that love meant being good, being helpful, being quiet, being compliant, or being whatever someone else needed us to be. We became experts at caring for everyone else while slowly disconnecting from our own voice, our own body, and our own truth for survival.

    True self-love is the courageous act of opening your heart while staying rooted in who you are.

    In this conversation, I share about the ways codependency teaches us to abandon ourselves in relationships, why protecting your heart is natural, and how those protectors form. We explore the difference between transactional love and spiritual love, and what it really means to love yourself first without loosing yourself.

    We talk about the steel gates around our hearts and how awakening allows us to soften those defenses without collapsing back into old patterns.

    Self-love is not about becoming perfect.
    It is about becoming present.
    It is about remembering your wholeness.

    When we stop asking others to

    Presence Over Escape | 8 Years Sober and Healing the Pain Body

    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 if the real healing isn’t found in forcing yourself to be stronger, but in deciding its time to awaken?

    I’m a couple days away from celebrating 8 years sober, and I’m sharing this as a Soul Journey story. When I finally decided to stop drinking, it was more than giving up alcohol. It was a decision to listen to my Higher Self and step fully into the life my soul was asking for.

    In this episode, I take you back to a trip to Southeast Asia that gave me just enough space to remember who I am beneath the chaos. I share the moment that surprised me most, the car ride home from the airport when the old stress returned fast and I could feel the pull to escape rise up in my body. That was the moment I knew I had to choose myself.

    Inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, we explore the pain body as the unconscious part of us that clings to old wounds, story, and suffering, always searching for relief. 

    This teaching aligns so beautifully with the Recover Your Soul process. Waking up is the antidote. Presence is the doorway. And your Soul Journey begins the moment you stop abandoning yourself and start listening within.

    You Can Choose Compassion Over Panic And Still Create Change | 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 are feeling it — the intensity, the fear, the sense that everything is changing all at once.

    In this episode, I share a grounded, heart-centered reflection on how to stay connected to peace when the world feels unstable. Not by disconnecting or pretending things aren’t happening, but by learning how to witness the experience without losing yourself in it.

    Through the Recover Your Soul lens, I talk about fear, control, collective energy, and what it means to live from your spiritual center in times of uncertainty.

    You don’t have to be consumed by fear to care deeply.
    You can choose compassion, presence, and peace and still be part of meaningful change.

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed, sensitive, or unsure how to stay grounded right now I hope this episode brings you some peace in remembering your soul's journey and spiritual strength.

    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.

    When we choose responsibility over resentment, validate our feelings, and allow others their own journey, we step onto a path of healing and awakening.
    We begin the process to Recover Your Soul.

    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 never be frustrated again. It means we no longer lose ourselves when they are.

    You are allowed to be okay even when someone you love isn’t.
    You don’t have to carry what isn’t yours.

    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.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • How codependency teaches us to tie our well-being to others
    • Why acceptance is essential for healing and loving detachment
    • The difference between acceptance and self-abandonment
    • Releasing control as a spiritual practice
    • How the Recover Your Soul Process supports healing and awakening

    It is time to choose a spiritual path to a happy and healthy life.

    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.

    I also share my own experience of how self-compassion, honesty, and spiritual practice allow real healing to occur by choosing kindness and truth instead of self-judgment.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • How codependency and people pleasing lead to self-abandonment
    • The role of the inner critic as a learned protector
    • Using the Recover Your Soul Process to release old patterns
    • Choosing self-compassion as a spiritual practice
    • Stepping into a new cyc

    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 need to understand every detail, and the belief that your safety depends on managing someone else’s life.

    When we choose surrender, we choose peace.
    When we stop trying to control the uncontrollable, something softens.

    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 “nice” and being whole
     • how to honor your feelings without laying them on others
     • and what it means to walk through your life as the real you

    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.

    This episode is from the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast earlier this year, and if this episode resonates with you, I invite you to become an Apple Podcast subscriber or Patreon member. You’ll receive an extra Recover Your Soul episode every Friday and have access to an entire library of deeper teachings, meditations, and spiritual reflections.

    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,
     Rev Rachel
