Send one way text to Rev Rachel After 32 years together, Rich and I open our hearts to share the profound transformation of our relationship—a journey shaped by Soul Recovery, parenting through addiction, and rediscovering true partnership.

Send us a textWhat if you could break free from lifelong patterns of codependence and transform your life through the power of boundaries? In this episode of Lift One Self, we sit down with Barb Nangle, a remarkable boundaries coach who turned her life around through 12-step recovery programs. Barb opens up about her journey through Codependence Anonymous and Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families, revealing how she reparented herself and healed from trauma. Her inspiring story of shedding over 100 pounds by embracing healthy boundaries showcases the profound impact of self-care and community support on personal growth and professional transformation.Our conversation takes a deeper dive into the practices that have anchored Barb's healing journey, such as meditation, play, and emotional processing. By drawing from Internal Family Systems theory, Barb illustrates how techniques like yelling into a pillow can release pent-up feelings and lead to authentic emotional expression. The episode unravels the intricacies of people-pleasing behaviors and the significance of setting boundaries aligned with personal values. Through Barb's candid reflections, we explore how shifting from a need for external validation to cultivating internal safety has reshaped her life and relationships, including finding her first healthy romantic relationship in her 50s.We conclude by emphasizing the importance of spreading the message of self-care and emotional healing. Barb encourages listeners to share these transformative insights with those who might benefit and to practice kindness and gentleness toward themselves. As Barb's story illustrates, addressing small, present-moment emotions can unravel deeper layers of healing over time.

From April 4, 1989: Oprah talks to a family with three generations of alcoholics about repeating the family cycle and how alcoholism has affected their lives. Psychologist and author Janet Geringer Woititz discusses her New York Times best seller, Adult Children of Alcoholics. She explains how to recognize the characteristics of children of alcoholics and how to break the cycle of alcohol abuse. She also gives advice on how to stop enabling and start helping loved ones who suffer with alcoholism. Janet Geringer Woititz passed away at her home in Roseland, New Jersey, in 1994. 

John Ortberg discusses the spiritual power of admitting your personal inadequacy, what the church can learn from alcoholics, and why the church keeps producing elder brothers.  

As parents, we've all lost our patience before with our kids - we let a scream go, or yelled a little too loud, right? I know I have...and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.    Bella Lucia Children's Book Series, and “Healthy Feelings” Crusader, Kristina Lucia Pezza is on a mission to show/ help parents set up with children (and parents) the importance of embracing and working through your feelings so that we can set kids up with confidence and self-awareness. This includes helping parents find the space and strength to have patience with their children.    In this episode, Kristina helps shed some light on how to keep your patience through examples from her own life and shows how important this can be for our childrens' fragile sense of self.    Kristina experienced trauma as a child, which she discusses in the episode, and through working the 12 steps of Adult Children of Alcoholics, she knows firsthand how vital it is to have the tools to communicate your feelings in order to be heard in an effective way. That's why she is teaching these important concepts through the main character of her children's book.    In each story, Bella Elephant gives people the space to feel their feelings, she learns an important life lesson, and the reader witnesses how her growth has a wonderful ripple effect on her community. Currently, there are 8 titles in the series with a plan for a total of 12.    Check out her website now for a free Valentine's Day printable she designed!   Kristina is an award winning and bestselling author, creator, and artist who ignites the imaginations of children and their parents through her limited edition animals and touching storybooks. Her humble beginnings in a small farm town (there was only one traffic light!) sparked her creativity at a young age and her adopted home of New York City keeps her inspired daily.   Curiously Curated Creations of Kristina features a magical array of warm, cuddly and comforting creatures along with storybooks that help parents and kids improve their communication and deepen their relationships.   Find Kristina and her work here: Website: Kristinalucia.com  Instagram: @kristinaluciapezza Pinterest: Kristina Lucia Pezza https://www.pinterest.com/Kristinaluciapezza/   Please listen and subscribe to our podcast and leave a 5-star review so we can reach more parents like you!

In their conversation Mark and Ron talk about: Ron growing up in an environment where a family member stuggled with alcoholism and then learning how to heal from some of the trauma experienced in his past The 2020 lockdown blog posts that Ron wrote and shared in order to help others who might be dealing with that and giving back to the community The four "Let Go And Be Free" books he released that were derived from that blog content Writing his first short fiction at the age of 9 and his first novel at 16 Ron's Masters degree and how his topic related to trauma How to date Ron's best success as an author has been with his "Let Go and Be Free: 100 Daily Reflections for Adult Children of Alcoholics" books Shooting for 365 reflections for his books, but ending up with 400 The value in creating content thinking of the benefit to himself as well as others, and how that worked out extremely well because of the way it hit with the correct audience How Ron's fiction titles dealt with most of the same issues, but that they ended up hitting different with the audiences Making a decision of what he needs to let go of in order to make more space for focusing on what he wants to do as a writer The five different fiction series that Ron has written, including a Cinderella fairy tale-inspired series, and a Were-whale series inspired by Moby Dick Ron's start in indie writing in 2009 and publishing in 2011 Why Ron has consistently shared such an honest and unflinching look at the economics of his own publishing journey Sharing his annual numbers for about 10 years and how only two of those years were ones where he earned more than he spent How 2024 was a "non-marketing-spending" year for Ron as an important experiment The elements of the filter that most people put on before they share something publicly or on social media' The regular habits that Ron says make an important difference Being touched by a personal message from a reader who appreciated one of Ron's audiobooks and how it moved her How Ron isn't in writing just for the money, but for so many other reasons And more...   After the interview Mark reflects on a few things Ron said and also shares a special offer to listeners in support of both Ron and the Stark Reflections community, thanks to Mark's coffee buddy Nikki Guerlain.   Links of Interest: Ron Vitale's Website Ron's Blog: What I Learned About Indie Publishing in 2024 What I Learned About Indie Publishing in 2023 What I Learned About Indie Publishing in 2022 2021 Year End Wrap Up: Full Sales and Expenses EP 396 - Waubgeshig Rice on Community, Publishing, and The Creative Journey EP 395 - Rants and Reflections From the Road on 2024 Sales Sharing Form for Listener Reflections for Episode 400 Patreon Article with Zoom Hangout Links (for Episode 400 Listener Reflections) Superstars Writing Seminars Buy Mark a Coffee Patreon for Stark Reflections How to Access Patreon RSS Feeds Mark's YouTube channel Mark's Stark Reflections on Writing & Publishing Newsletter (Signup) An Author's Guide to Working With Bookstores and Libraries The Relaxed Author Buy eBook Direct Buy Audiobook Direct Publishing Pitfalls for Authors An Author's Guide to Working with Libraries & Bookstores Wide for the Win Mark's Canadian Werewolf Books This Time Around (Short Story) A Canadian Werewolf in New York Stowe Away (Novella) Fear and Longing in Los Angeles Fright Nights, Big City Lover's Moon Hex and the City Only Monsters in the Building The Canadian Mounted: A Trivia Guide to Planes, Trains and Automobiles Yippee Ki-Yay Motherf*cker: A Trivia Guide to Die Hard Merry Christmas!

We discuss the value of family members getting involved in a 12-step program and the role of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) in helping families heal. Can working the 12 steps repeatedly continue to provide value, or is there a point where the returns diminish? We explore whether it makes sense to keep revisiting the steps and how they can evolve over time depending on where you are in your recovery journey. This is a thought-provoking conversation for anyone curious about maximizing the impact of the 12 steps while keeping recovery balanced and meaningful. Tune in to get some clarity and perspective!

My guest this week is author Ike Miller In this episode:- Ike's father was an alcoholic, leading to family chaos and eventual divorce. He experienced emotional and physical abuse, realizing the effects on his mental health only later in life. Ike initially avoided alcohol due to his family background but started drinking at 22 Like many of us alcohol felt like a magic potion and he loved the effect it had on him However as time passed he found himself relying on it more During the pandemic, stress, anxiety, and depression exacerbated his drinking, leading to a strained relationship with his wife, Ike's counselor identified his behavior as addictive, which prompted him to seek help. So he started addiction counseling, attended Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings, and began addressing unresolved trauma. His healing process involved understanding and processing childhood trauma, addressing codependency, and redefining his coping mechanisms. He reframed his experiences and began to identify strengths he had built as a result of his challenging childhood. Ike eventually achieved sobriety through therapy, support groups, and open communication with his wife. He has written a book called Good Baggage The book explores how challenges from childhood can become strengths when leveraged correctly. It emphasizes reframing childhood trauma as a source of resilience and emotional intelligence. 3 Tips for People wanting to quit:- Start by acknowledging the problem and seeking help through counseling or support groups. Understand that addiction is a response to pain and prioritize healing over shame. Recognise that although recovery is hard at the beginning it leads to significant improvements in relationships and self-worth.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Today's episode is inspired by this question from an anonymous member of the Recover Your Soul Facebook community. "My spouse is currently sober and I want to know, how and when can I talk about things that he had done while under the influence that were immensely painful to me, without seeming like I'm shaming him.  What would be the best approach?" Reading from 'How Al-Anon Works for Friends and Families of Alcoholics', Rev Rachel reflects on the importance of compassionate communication and using the Soul Recovery process to heal from difficult and painful life experiences.  We can not change the past, however, we can work to let go of the pain and resentment that those experiences have been for us in our lives and relationships and learn how to communicate in healthy and open ways. This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.
