Podcasts about codependence

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.I want to share something with you before you press play on this one.This is a replay from about three and a half years ago, an episode I recorded after a trip to Sayulita, Mexico, where my husband came clean that he had continued to 'dabble' with drinking, even after the profound changes we had both made in our lives with recovery. Going back to edit it brought all of it up again. The grief. The love. The complexity of it.Because here's the truth — Rich did stop drinking the way he had for most of his adult life, and that was real and significant. But over the years he has continued to dabble, and each time he eventually has come clean about it, it has hurt. And at the very same time, I can see that this is his journey to Recover Your Soul. Addiction is a beast that is not easy to tame, especially when someone hasn't fully admitted they are powerless over it.What this trip opened in me was a deeper clarity that working on myself is the only place I have any real power. Not because I don't care but because turning within and finding my own self-love, my own joy, my own healing is the deepest work there is. And it is not selfish. Not even a little bit.If you are loving someone in their addiction right now, this episode is for you. Together, we can do the work that will Recover Your Soul.Are you ready 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.The most downloaded Recover Your Soul episodes continue to be the ones connected to Al-Anon — and today I'm going back to the roots.I'm reading directly from How Al-Anon Works for Family and Friends of Alcoholics — specifically Al-Anon's First Step — and reflecting on how this profound, foundational step lives inside the Recover Your Soul process.Step One: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — and that our lives had become unmanageable.In this episode we explore the First Step of Al-Anon alongside the Recover Your Soul Nine Step Process, including the 3 C's of Al-Anon — you didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it — and why these truths are the gateway to real healing.Admitting powerlessness is not defeat. It is the beginning of your freedom.Take what resonates. Leave what doesn't.

Gay culture rewards visibility, desirability, and dominance, so a lot of what looks like confidence is actually performance under pressure. In this episode, we unpack the myths of self-confidence gay men inherit and what real confidence looks like when no one's watching. In this conversation, we explore: What traits often get mistaken for confidence in gay culture How social media amplifies performative confidence and quietly fuels insecurity Why confidence built on validation, desirability, or status is inherently fragile How childhood experiences and early coping strategies shape what confidence feels safe to express The difference between looking confident and being confident Why real confidence isn't the absence of insecurity and why it naturally shifts over time This episode isn't about fixing yourself or learning how to project confidence. It's about understanding why the version you were taught to chase often feels exhausting, and what a quieter, more grounded confidence actually looks like in real life.
