Podcasts about codependence

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this week's episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, I'm joined by a true spiritual sister — Ester Nicholson, coach, teacher, and author of Soul Recovery: The 12 Keys to Healing Dependence. From the moment we met, I knew our paths were divinely aligned. We both use the language of Soul Recovery to describe the journey of returning to our authentic selves — the place of peace, power, and divine wholeness that lives within us all.In this heartfelt and deeply inspiring conversation, Ester shares her powerful story of transformation — from addiction and trauma to awakening and spiritual purpose. With honesty and grace, she reminds us that recovery isn't just about overcoming substances or behaviors — it's about healing the deeper wounds that separate us from our soul. Together, we explore how compassion, surrender, and spiritual practice can free us from the illusion of brokenness and guide us back to the light of who we really are.Ester also shares her 21-Day Journey to the Authentic Self — a beautifully designed self-paced program that includes 21 days of teachings, meditations, and somatic healing practices to help you reconnect with your true essence. It's a wonderful complement to the Soul Recovery process and an invitation to step more fully into your wholeness.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel When the world feels overwhelming—whether it's family struggles, the pain of watching a loved one in addiction, or the heaviness of our collective challenges—it's easy to believe that peace will come once everything “out there” finally settles down. But in Soul Recovery, we learn that waiting for the outside world to change keeps us trapped in fear and frustration. The real transformation begins when we turn inward.In this episode, I share how I've been navigating real-life challenges with my family, including my son's addiction, and how the Soul Recovery process reminds us that we are powerless over others—but never powerless within ourselves. When we shift our focus from control to compassion, from fear to love, we begin to find clarity, strength, and the ability to show up with grace in even the most difficult circumstances. Turning within isn't an escape from life—it's the way to live it more fully, with peace and sovereignty.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 Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm only as happy as my least happy child"? This seemingly loving sentiment actually reveals a profound codependent belief that makes us responsible for others' emotions while neglecting our own healing journey. As I discovered with my own family, no amount of fixing or controlling could make my unhappy child happy—that was his journey to walk. Only when I released my grip on controlling outcomes and turned inward did things begin to transform.Perfectionism, helping behaviors, and our need to "fix" others often masquerade as positive traits—but they're actually sneaky forms of codependency that keep us trapped in cycles of control. When we obsess over making everything perfect or rush to save others from their emotions, we're not being helpful—we're attempting to manage our own discomfort and create safety through control.The 9-Step Soul Recovery Process offers a spiritual path out of these patterns. Through this process, we replace the drive to fix others with self-compassion, embrace new beliefs about our inherent worthiness, and shift our lens from fear to love.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.

What do you even call a divorce anniversary? Two years after the end of my marriage, I find myself reflecting—not on celebration, but on growth, healing, and the lessons heartbreak leaves behind. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the three truths divorce taught me about co-dependency and how I'm learning to live and love differently. Whether you're walking through the rubble of a relationship, navigating the lonely spaces of divorce, or stepping into love again with a hopeful but shaky heart, these lessons are for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why self-regulation must come before co-regulation and the practical ways you can ground yourself before leaning on someone else. The surprising difference between being alone and being lonely, and how solitude can actually become sacred. How boundaries create freedom, why they aren't rejection, but an invitation to authentic love. This Episode Is For You If… You've struggled with co-dependency or shame in relationships. You're navigating divorce, separation, or stepping into new love after loss. You want to stop abandoning yourself in relationships and learn how to show up fully as you.   Resources & Next Steps: Connect with me on Instagram @drzoeshaw for daily encouragement.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, we explore one of the most important and tender parts of the Soul Recovery journey—making peace with painful memories. When we hold on to resentment, we keep ourselves tied to the very moments that wounded us, replaying them again and again in our minds and bodies. True freedom comes not from erasing the past or pretending it didn't happen, but from meeting those memories with compassion, grace, and forgiveness—first for ourselves, and then, when we're ready, for others. As I continue to work on my own memoir, I've been revisiting some of the most difficult years of my life, and it has reminded me that every story, even the painful ones, can be seen through a new lens when we invite in spiritual awakening and Soul Recovery. This is not about minimizing the harm or excusing others—it's about choosing to release the grip of resentment so we can live fully in the present, whole and authentic. Join me as we talk honestly about how to move from grievance to peace, and how the 9-Step Soul Recovery Process offers a path to let go of what was and step into the freedom of who you truly are.I mention Mattie who is helping me in writing this book as a collaborator.

Louie reflects on radical acceptance, family wounds, and whether he truly desires a connection with his father. This week, Louie and Michael unpack the idea of fatherhood — from the hypothetical qualities they wish they'd had in a dad, to what it means to grow up without a father figure. Louie challenges Michael's story of not having one, and shares his perspective on who carries the responsibility for repairing parent–child relationships. Michael opens up about how codependency and avoidance have shaped his romantic life, especially in a long-distance relationship. He shares the painful reality of emotional whiplash — the push–pull, yo-yo effect — and how it impacts intimacy, trust, and connection. It's a vulnerable and raw conversation about fathers, family dynamics, codependency, and the difficult process of learning to accept people as they are while still protecting your own emotional health.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel This week, I'm sharing something special with the whole Recover Your Soul community — an episode that originally aired on the Bonus Podcast back in June. The Bonus Podcast is where we take a deeper dive into Soul Recovery, with spiritual book studies, guest conversations, and real-life reflections inspired by Al-Anon, metaphysics, and the healing journey within. If you've never tuned in, I wanted you to experience the richness of these episodes for yourself — and if you love it, you can join us as a free or paid member on Patreon, or as an Apple Podcast subscriber, where there are over 200 bonus episodes waiting for you.In this episode, we explore “Love and Surrender” — a powerful Al-Anon reading that speaks to the moment we finally release the day-to-day pain and guilt of trying to fix someone else's life. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we talk about letting go of the illusion of control, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing our own healing over managing another person's journey. Whether it's with a child, spouse, or someone else you love, this is about opening our hearts to unconditional love — the kind that allows others to have their own experiences, while we stay grounded in our own spiritual connection and well-being.This is the work of Soul Recovery: moving from enmeshment and exhaustion into compassion, clarity, and freedom.

Love addiction is a set of symptoms most often associated with romantic relationships. But these symptoms can also show up in our relationship with work, which might look like this: seeking unconditional positive regard (ie earning validation and worthiness from the work we're doing, the company that employs us, the person who manages us), while we overvalue this company or person (and undervalue ourselves and the contribution we are making at work), all while self-neglecting as we overfunction in order to get that external validation. And all of this leads to exhaustion, health issues, and ultimately burnout.  In this episode, Jodi talks with burnout and productivity specialist, Tamu Thomas, author of Women Who Work Too Much, about toxic productivity, ambition and the cultural conditioning that shapes us. Tamu shares her personal experience with overfunctioning and how this led to a necessary life change; and why women often end up being the "selfless caretakers", how this leads us into a cycle of toxic productivity, and how we can change that...plus much more!
