Did you know grief can significantly lower your vibrational energy? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan talks about how fear and grief shape your behaviour often without you realizing it. She explains how grief doesn't always come from major loss. It can creep in during small, everyday moments. And when it does, you might find yourself fixing others, oversharing, or avoiding what you actually feel. She shares real experiences, including how it felt to have her work used without permission. Instead of reacting, she paused. That simple shift helped her respond clearly, without getting pulled into emotion. She also talks about giving trust too easily and the fallout that can bring. There's a close look at codependency. Not in theory, but in how it shows up: avoiding conflict, hiding what you think, or needing someone else's approval. Her message is simple. Your job is to take care of yourself first. Susan also shares a quick update about her book, Infinite Life, Infinite Lessons, including how to get a bonus chapter and join a live Zoom event. She closes with a reminder worth hearing: speak clearly, stay honest with yourself, and pay more attention to how you respond than what others do.

It can be a loss as simple as our cat gets sick to losing our favorite backpack." – Susan [02:25] "Fear has been a friend in some ways... but it also can be our nemesis." – Susan [04:19] "Nothing I've ever done that was simple, was easy. In fact, life isn't easy." – Susan [09:41] "Being right never made me happy. I thought it would, but it didn't." – Susan Susan Grau Susan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano explores how codependency erodes authenticity and keeps people trapped in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing. If you struggle to speak your truth, constantly seek approval, or fear setting boundaries, this episode will help you understand the deeper root of why you hide your authentic self—and how to begin unmasking the people pleaser within. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why people-pleasing is a trauma response rooted in childhood survival How codependency develops when authenticity is punished or ignored The difference between genuine kindness and compulsive approval-seeking Why suppressing your needs leads to resentment, burnout, and emotional confusion Practical steps to reconnect with your true self and honor your voice Why This Episode Matters Many adult children of emotionally immature, narcissistic, or unavailable caregivers learn early on that being “the good one” is the only way to feel safe. Over time, this coping mechanism becomes a false self—one that performs for acceptance while abandoning its truth. But healing is possible. By understanding the connection between childhood emotional neglect and adult codependency, you can begin the courageous journey back to your authentic self—one boundary at a time. Take the Next Step Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Method is a neuroscience-informed system designed to help you unlearn codependent behaviors, reclaim your voice, and build a self-concept rooted in worth and truth.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this week's episode, I sit with a heartfelt question from our community—how do we hold someone accountable without slipping into control and codependence?—and we look honestly at what true support really is, including whether asking a spouse to “prove” sobriety crosses a line; from a Soul Recovery perspective, we remember that we are powerless over other people and powerful within ourselves, so instead of policing or shaming, we practice loving detachment, clear boundaries, and compassionate curiosity—asking, “What would truly support you?” while staying anchored in our own healing. The hard truth is we cannot make anyone recover, and when we try to manage their journey it often comes from our own fear and wounds—which means it's an invitation back to our inner work. This episode begins a new two-part experiment, and on Friday's Bonus podcast by subscription, I'll take you deeper, applying the 9-Step Soul Recovery Process to dig deeper in the 'how to' on this topic.Listen to the Bonus Friday Podcast as an Apple Podcast subscriber or for FREE the first week as a Free Patreon Member- this is a great way to support the Recover Your Soul Community AND get accessWant to join the Recovery Your Soul community?

We are continuing the conversation around adult children of dysfunctional families, and how those unhealthy and dysfunctional roles that we can develop can move toward healing and a new healthy future. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of CR, will walk us through part two of how Celebrate Recovery can ultimately create a safe space, through Jesus and biblical truth, and a structure process to understand those old dysfunctional labels and ultimately replace them with our true identity in Christ.

 We all want to grow, to flourish, to step into God's best for our lives. But sometimes, it's not our circumstances holding us back—it's our mindset. In this episode, we'll expose five common thought patterns that quietly hinder progress and explain how pruning—even painful pruning—can lead to breakthrough on Soul02.   Connect with us: YouTube: YouTube.com/@soul02-oxygen Facebook: @LP.Oxygen https://www.facebook.com/LP.Oxygen Instagram: LP.Oxygen Twitter: @Soul025 Buzzsprout: Soul02-Buzzsprout Spotify: Soul02 - Spotify Apple: Soul02-Itunes Stitcher: Soul02-Stitcher

If you grew up feeling emotionally unsafe, unseen, or like your feelings didn't matter, you may have unknowingly developed codependent behaviors rooted in childhood emotional neglect. In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano, codependency recovery expert, breaks down how early life experiences shape your nervous system and self-worth—and why the "invisible child" often becomes an adult trapped in patterns of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and toxic relationship cycles.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: How childhood trauma, emotional instability, or neglect programs the brain for codependency Why feeling unsafe as a child rewires your nervous system to seek external validation How beliefs like “I'm not enough” become subconscious blocks to self-esteem The hidden link between early emotional trauma and compulsive rescuing or caretaking How to start reclaiming emotional safety through boundaries, self-awareness, and nervous system regulation  Why This Episode Matters Codependency is not just about behavior—it's about the emotional blueprint you were given as a child. If no one ever mirrored your worth or made space for your needs, you may now unconsciously look to others for permission to feel safe, lovable, or whole. But healing begins with visibility—recognizing your patterns and rewiring the beliefs that keep you stuck.  Take Action: Journal Prompt: When was the first time you felt emotionally unsafe or invisible? How is that experience still influencing your relationships today? Self-Awareness Practice: Next time you feel the urge to fix or please someone, ask yourself: “Is this about honoring me—or avoiding rejection?”  Continue the Journey: Discover Lisa's neuroscience-based system for codependency recovery in the

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?

Often when we walk into recovery, we experience revelations on how dysfunctional our family system was growing up. Growing up in these family systems we can take on dysfunctional roles that can be helpful to understand why we do what we do, but ultimately move us to do something different in health. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of celebrate recovery, will walk us through some common roles and the functions of those roles toward ultimately understanding how celebrate Recovery can bring healing toward a new healthy future.

In this episode, we sit down with Richard Grannon for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about trauma, perception, and the psychology of narcissism. He shares insights on how narcissistic dynamics take root, why the popular use of the term often misses the mark, and how childhood wounds shape adult identity and behavior. We explore the cost of outsourcing meaning-making, the traps of victimhood and blame, and the deeper process of reclaiming one's internal authority. This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and what it takes to stop living in a reality defined by your past.Time Stamps (00:00) Start(00:37) Introduction to Richard Grannon and His Work(02:29) Richard Grannon's Personal Journey(05:48) Defining Narcissism Clinically(09:15) Childhood Conditions Leading to Narcissism(12:28) Different Types of Narcissism(12:59) The Over-Pathologization of Society(17:22) Critique of Modern Psychology(30:18) The Role of Purpose and Suffering in Modern Life(45:36) Exploring the Mystical Tradition and Self-Awareness(45:56) Rites of Passage and Cultural Context(46:39) The Individual vs. The Collective(54:24) Narcissism and Therapy(59:12) AI and Narcissism(01:08:02) Codependency and Childhood Influences(01:20:36) Parentification and Emotional Incest(01:23:18) Reflections on Fatherhood and Personal Choices(01:25:47) Conclusion and Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.richardgrannon.com/https://www.instagram.com/richard.grannon/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Michael Molthan Visits Hanley Center Michael Molthan sits down with Dr. Rachel Docekal and Dr. John Dyben at the Hanley Center to talk about healing, hope, and recovery.

Ever felt like you're chasing someone who refuses to choose you—again and again?Or maybe you are the one who runs when things get close.This isn't about love.It's about wounds.In this powerful breakdown, we dive deep into how childhood parentification, emotional enmeshment, and abandonment trauma shape our adult relationships—often without us even knowing. If you've ever been in a toxic cycle of love addiction and avoidance, or feel stuck begging for crumbs in a relationship that never gives back… this is your wake-up call.

On today's episode, I'm sharing an insightful conversation with Vanessa Bennett, a licensed depth psychologist and co-author of It's Not Me, It's You. Together, we delve into the complexities of codependency and relationship dynamics, exploring how societal norms shape our understanding of love and attachment. Vanessa shares her journey from advertising to therapy and how she learned to value authenticity over attachment in relationships. Plus, how triggers can be opportunities for growth and why breaking up doesn't have to be a total mess. Whether you're navigating a breakup or seeking healthier relationship patterns, I hope you find Vanessa's tips just as valuable as I have!

Many Christians share Jesus' big heart for others and desire to love people like him. But all of us can fall prey to caring for others in a way that's fueled by our own unrecognized needs or wounds. Even good intentions can drain our souls and leave us feeling resentful towards ministry and people. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi talk about the tension between loving sacrifice and codependency. You'll learn how to search your own soul with Jesus and cultivate an emotionally healthy attachment to Abba so you can discern who to serve and how to partner with God for greater fruitfulness.Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

You're not needy. You're not the damsel in distress. You get shit done.But what if I told you that your excellence, your leadership, your "I've got this" attitude is actually a sophisticated form of codependency that's keeping you emotionally trapped?In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the high-functioning codependency that disguises itself as strength but leaves you drowning in resentment while everyone else gets to rest.What You'll Discover:The Real Face of CodependencyWhy it's not about being needy—it's about needing to be needed so badly you abandon yourselfHow your "strength" became your prisonThe difference between being helpful and being codependentThe Hidden Traits That Don't Look CodependentYou anticipate others' needs before being asked (and call it leadership)You intellectualize feelings but avoid actually feeling themYou see your value in what you do, not who you areYou never ask for help but resent people who doHow It Shows Up Everywhere:At Work: You're the emotional air traffic controller managing everyone's moodsIn Parenting: You over-function for your kids while under-functioning for yourselfIn Love: You choose potential over reality and call it commitmentThe Codependent Loop That's Stealing Your Joy:Obsession (disguised as leadership)Control (disguised as being proactive)Resentment (disguised as martyrdom)Collapse (disguised as "having a lot on your plate")Hope (disguised as optimism)RepeatThe Hard Truth:You've built an empire on "not good enough." You're constantly chasing, constantly proving, constantly giving—but never arriving at that place where you feel genuinely fulfilled.Your life looks amazing on the outside. But on the inside? You're exhausted, disconnected, and wondering why success doesn't feel the way you thought it would.The Way Out:This isn't about becoming selfish or uncaring. It's about coming home to yourself. It's about moving from codependency to sovereignty—knowing who you are without all the masks and coping mechanisms.The Three A's:Awareness: Seeing these patterns without judgmentAcceptance: The gateway to transformationAction: Detachment, boundaries, and reparenting yourselfReal Talk:How much longer are you going to stay in this loop? How much longer will you pat yourself on the back for being "so strong" while your joy slips through your fingers every single day?The cost of doing nothing isn't just your well-being—it's your relationships, your health, and the woman you're meant to become.If This Hit You Like a Freight Train:This episode might be one to listen to twice. There's a lot here. And if you're sitting there thinking "holy shit, this is me"—that's your nervous system recognizing the truth.You have a choice right now. You can keep pretending these patterns are just "being responsible," or you can decide that today is the day you stop abandoning yourself for everyone else.Ready to break the cycle? Visit LisaCarpenter.ca/WWM and fill out the application.

If your partner was raised in a toxic or emotionally immature home, their nervous system may have been wired for survival—not connection.

In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough, Breakthrough Life Coach and creator of The Conscious Healing Academy, Lisa A. Romano, unpacks the hidden trauma behind emotionally unavailable partners and explores why some spouses can't put their significant other first—despite their best intentions. You'll learn: Why your spouse might feel safer pleasing their parents than protecting your marriage How unhealed childhood trauma impacts adult intimacy and emotional prioritization The subconscious fears that drive people to abandon their partner to avoid being rejected themselves What you can do to begin shifting this painful dynamic in a healthy way
