Podcasts about choosing happiness

Send one way text to Rev Rachel So many of us have spent our lives trying to earn love, approval, and belonging by shape-shifting into what we think others need us to be. We become people-pleasers, fixers, and emotional caretakers—losing ourselves in the process. In this episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, we explore what it really means to break free from codependency and control, and how the Soul Recovery process helps us come back to our true, authentic selves. You'll learn how to recognize the subtle ways we abandon ourselves in an attempt to be accepted, and how releasing these old patterns allows for deeper peace, healthier boundaries, and more fulfilling relationships. This isn't about cutting people off or rejecting connection—it's about reclaiming your energy, staying in your body, and honoring your own truth without needing to fix or manage anyone else. Soul Recovery teaches us that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you already are. If you're ready to stop shape-shifting and start showing up as the real you, this episode offers encouragement, tools, and a path toward spiritual freedom.Want to join the Recovery Your Soul community?

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or completely drained from trying to hold everything, and everyone together I get it, I was once there too. The truth is, constantly fixing, managing, and rescuing those around us doesn't bring peace... it creates more suffering. In this episode, I share what I've learned on my own Soul Recovery path about how the compulsion to help and control stems from old patterns, and how letting go has been the greatest act of love—not just for myself, but for those I care about.We dive into the deeper truth that your healing begins the moment you stop turning your energy outward and begin focusing inward. We explore what it means to detach with love, to let others walk their own journey, and to reclaim your energy for your own transformation.Soul Recovery isn't about abandoning others—it's about releasing the illusion that their healing is your responsibility. It's about becoming a compassionate presence without losing yourself.You don't have to fix everything. You don't have to hold it all together. Come back to your center. Heal yourself. That is the most powerful gift you can offer the world.Want to join the Recovery Your Soul community? Join the FREE Soul Recovery Support Group the 1st Monday of every month from 6-7PM Mountain Time.

With 35 years of inspiring millions through his iconic books like Being Happy and Follow Your Heart, Andrew shares what it really takes to stay hopeful in a world that doesn't always play fair. From chasing dreams with a sketchpad in hand, to building a legacy of light, his journey will leave you laughing, tearing up, and seeing your own story in a brand-new way.   IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️ Coping with Trauma and Tragedy ➡️ Lessons in Happiness & Gratitude ➡️ Finding Joy in Small Things ➡️ The Incredible Impact of Kindness  

Send one way text to Rev Rachel When someone you love is struggling—emotionally, mentally, or through addiction—it's natural to want to help, to fix, to make things better. But what happens when trying to save them begins to cost you your own peace? This episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast explores the powerful Soul Recovery principle of detaching without abandoning yourself. Being okay when others aren't doesn't mean disconnecting from compassion or ignoring reality—it means turning inward, releasing control, and choosing to care for your own well-being first. The Soul Recovery Process invites us to see “what is” with clarity and neutrality, to stop trying to shape reality into what we wish it could be, and to instead respond from a place of inner strength and spiritual alignment. This episode offers support for anyone caught in the tension of love and suffering, with guidance on how to recognize your own needs, trust your emotions as sacred messengers, and make decisions that honor your wholeness. Through Soul Recovery, you can begin to release old patterns of codependence, reconnect with your Higher Self, and remember that your healing is not only possible—it's the most loving choice you can make, for everyone involved.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.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Before Soul Recovery, I didn't even know what my yes or no was—let alone how to honor it. In this episode, we explore the essential role of boundaries in your healing journey. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, boundaries aren't rigid walls—they're living, breathing expressions of self-love. They allow us to protect our energy, express our preferences, and release the need to control others. When we learn to say yes and no with clarity, we create safety in our relationships and peace within ourselves.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, drained, or unsure how to ask for what you need, this conversation is for you. We'll explore the difference between control and true sovereignty, how your boundaries naturally evolve as you heal, and why honoring your needs isn't selfish—it's sacred.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode I am talking about addiction—not just the big, obvious ones like alcohol, but the subtle, often socially accepted habits like sugar, scrolling, shopping, or constant busyness that keep us disconnected from our wholeness. Even after more than seven years of sobriety from alcohol, I'm still looking at behaviors and uncovering patterns that no longer serve me… and that's what Soul Recovery is all about.I walk you through the full 9-Step Soul Recovery Process and share how I'm using it—right now—to address my own sugar addiction from a spiritual perspective. This isn't about shame or discipline. It's about curiosity, compassion, and the willingness to see what we've been using to protect ourselves and begin to make new choices that support our highest good.If you've ever found yourself stuck in a behavior you know isn't serving you… if you've made promises to yourself and broken them… if you're longing to feel more alive, more aligned, and more at peace with yoJoin the Recover Your Soul Community on Monday July 7th from 6-7PM Mountain Time on Zoom to connect with others on the journey.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this heartfelt episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, I share one of the most powerful tools of Soul Recovery: learning to step off the emotional battlefield and into peace. Soul Recovery is a spiritual path that teaches us how to shift from reactivity to intentionality—not by bypassing our feelings, but by honoring them and choosing differently. In this episode, I offer real-life stories from my own journey, including a recent moment with Rich that reminded me how quickly old patterns can surface—and how empowering it is to pause and return to our truth. Together, we'll walk through the 9-Step Soul Recovery Process as a daily practice, not just a one-time checklist. Whether it's parenting, partnership, or past pain, we all have places where we've armored up to feel safe—but the battlefield never brings peace. You'll learn how to take your power back by laying down your weapons and picking up awareness, surrender, and grace.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Have you noticed that old wounds and limiting beliefs showing up lately? You're not alone. Many of us on the spiritual path are feeling an intense surfacing of our deepest shadows right now — and although it can feel unsettling, it's actually a blessing in disguise.In this episode, I invite you to see these resurfacing patterns for what they truly are: an invitation. We're in a time of energetic shifts, solar flares, astrological alignments, and a spiritual “thinning of the veil” that is asking us to gently bring light to the parts of ourselves that have been hidden in our subconscious. These old stories and protective parts were never here to punish us — they were formed by a younger self who did the best they could to feel safe.Through Soul Recovery, we don't fight our shadow — we welcome it, witness it with compassion, and release it with love. Together, we'll explore how to recognize these old beliefs when they show up, how to feel our feelings without becoming them, and how to step into our sovereign, whole self that's always been there beneath the stories.As you listen, may you be reminded: your shadow doesn't define you. It's simply showing you where more light wants to enter.Ready to take your Soul Recovery journey deeper?Join Rev.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel The greatest power we have is the choice to shift our perception. Before we discover Soul Recovery, so many of us live in a constant loop of “why is this happening to me?”, feeling like victims of our circumstances — whether it's our family, our health, or the state of the world. In this heartfelt episode, I share how my own journey taught me that while we're powerless over what happens outside of us, we hold absolute authority over how we respond inside ourselves. This is sovereignty — not denial or spiritual bypassing, but a profound remembering of our divine nature and a commitment to see life through the eyes of love. Together, we explore how to stop feeding fear, how to meet challenges — including health struggles — with compassion and practical action, and how to stand firm in our wholeness no matter what storms rage around us. Soul Recovery invites us to witness our responses without judgment, release old patterns and beliefs, deepen our connection to something greater still, and live from the sanctuary of our heart. From this space, we're “in the world but not of it” — participating fully in our human experience while rooted in a higher perception that keeps us centered, peaceful, and empowered. You are not alone — you are not a victim — and your inner power is waiting to be awakened.Ready to take your Soul Recovery journey deeper?Join Rev.

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.

Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss.   In this episode, we are going to explore the transformative power of choice and we want to start with a question that challenges our very perception of life: Can happiness be a choice, rather than just a fleeting emotion? In a world that often feels out of our control, what if the key to a more fulfilling life is right within us? Keep listening as Jamie and I uncover the truth behind choosing happiness and how this simple yet profound decision can change everything. In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page. You can also follow Real Food Recovery on Instagram (@realfoodrecovery4u), TikTok (@realfoodrecovery) or at www.realfoodrecovery4u.com.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of the Recover Your Soul podcast, we're talking about the changes in friendships that naturally happen as we grow spiritually. On the Soul Recovery path, as we become more aligned with our authentic selves, we may find that some relationships no longer resonate. Letting go of friendships that don't support our well-being is a powerful step toward honoring who we are becoming. This shift is not about judging others but about recognizing when connections no longer feel healthy or fulfilling. In this episode, we'll dive into the courage it takes to release these relationships, create space for friendships that truly uplift us, and deepen our understanding of compassion and detachment as essential parts of the Soul Recovery journey. If you're ready to embrace relationships that reflect your growth, this conversation will guide you.Join us Monday November 4th on Zoom for the next FREE Soul Recovery Support Group from 6-7PM Mountain Time.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of the Recover Your Soul podcast, we dive deep into the complexities of healing relationships—both financially and emotionally—on the path from addiction to authenticity. Whether you've been impacted by addiction yourself or by the dysfunction of others, the journey to recovery offers profound opportunities for growth and transformation.I open up about my own experiences with my husband, Rich, and the layers of healing we've navigated around money, trust, and communication. For so many of us, financial struggles in relationships mirror deeper emotional wounds that need to be addressed, and this process isn't easy. It requires us to step into vulnerability, let go of past stories, and create space for new possibilities.Through Soul Recovery, we're invited to look beyond the surface of addiction and see the true, authentic self—both in ourselves and in those we love. This episode explores how healing these wounds can bring deeper connection, trust, and alignment in relationships.Join us Monday November 4th on Zoom for the next FREE Soul Recovery Support Group from 6-7PM Mountain Time.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode, we dive deep into the profound question: "Who do you need me to be to love me?" Inspired by a quote from Kortney Rivard on Tiny Buddha, I explore how we often shape-shift in relationships to gain love and acceptance, abandoning our own needs and truth in the process. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we'll talk about breaking free from the patterns of codependency and self-abandonment, and how to show up authentically in our relationships with a compassionate, strong, and empowered voice.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Have you ever wondered what it truly means to reclaim your personal power? This week, I share my deeply personal journey of overcoming alcoholism and codependency and how I stopped blaming my husband for my unhappiness to discover genuine healing. The focus is on the transformative power of turning inward and embracing personal responsibility to foster growth and empowerment.We explore the detrimental effects of the blame game on our lives and relationships. Holding onto resentment and waiting for others to acknowledge their wrongdoings only keeps us trapped in cycles of pain. I share heartfelt personal stories to illustrate the importance of Soul Recovery, internal forgiveness, and raising our consciousness. By shifting our focus from external validation to internal healing, we can detach from restrictive expectations and reclaim our personal power.  The episode underscores the strength that comes from releasing blame and connecting with our true selves and a higher source. We'll discuss how letting go of past traumas and adopting love and compassion can heal us and strengthen our boundaries. Join Rev Rachel and the community for the FREE Soul Recovery Support Group on the 1st Monday of every month for a quick live mini workshop with Rev Rachel, time for questions and then meeting in small groups to connect and share your Soul Recovery.
