Podcast appearances and mentions of Rachel Harrison

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 The words we speak and the thoughts we hold aren't just passing moments—they're the seeds we plant in the garden of our lives. Whether we realize it or not, we're always creating. Soul Recovery reminds us that healing begins when we become aware of how we're using our voice, both in the silence of our own mind and in the way we speak to those around us.In this episode, I invite you to take a deeper look at the power of your inner and outer language—especially in moments of pain, fear, or conflict. How we talk to ourselves when we're hurting… how we speak to someone we love when we're upset… these are sacred turning points. We can choose to repeat the old patterns, or we can choose to awaken.This isn't about perfection. It's about becoming more conscious. Instead of saying “I'm struggling” or “things never change,” we can shift into new language that aligns with who we are becoming. We can pause, breathe, and speak with intention. And when we do, the world around us begins to shift.This is the work of Soul Recovery: learning to meet ourselves with love, speak with compassion, and transform our lives from the inside out—one thought, one word, one choice at a time.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.

Have you thought about offering EMDR training for therapists in your practice, but don't want to overwhelm them? In this episode, I'm joined by Rachel Harrison from Trauma Specialists of Maryland, and together, we unpack how EMDR training for therapists can transform how group practices support clients, retain top-notch clinicians, and position your practice as a true leader in trauma-informed care. We're digging into why EMDR training can be a game-changer for group practices—and why it's more than just another line item on your clinician benefits sheet.

Tune in to learn about: Why offering EMDR training for therapists (even EMDR training online) is a must for group practices that want to stand out—and how it can impact your clinical outcomes in ways you might not expect. The difference between trauma informed therapy training and actually treating trauma—and how EMDR training for therapists bridges that gap. How group practices can integrate EMDR training online and in-person without overwhelming staff (and why clinicians are craving it!). Why trauma-focused certifications like EMDR training are becoming essential in today's mental health world—and what that means for your group practice's growth and visibility. Tips and real-world stories about weaving trauma-informed care and EMDR training into your culture so you're not just surviving the competitive market—you're thriving in it.

Have you ever wanted something so badly for someone you love… but knew deep down you couldn't make them choose it? That ache — the one we feel when we care so deeply — is where Soul Recovery begins.In this episode, I'm reflecting on Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory and why it resonates so powerfully with what we've been practicing together in Soul Recovery. This isn't just about letting go — it's about learning to detach with love, to release control not from apathy, but from deep spiritual trust.Let's walk this path together — one moment, one breath, one loving release at a time.Virtual One-Day Workshop on Zoom: May 31, 2025Two-Day Retreat in Lafayette, CO: July 19-20, 2025Two-Day Retreat in Asheville, NC: September 13-14, 2025Step into healing and transformation in a loving, supportive community.Learn more and register on the website- Use code SOUL40 for $40 off.

In this episode of the Fully-Booked literary podcast, we're back in the room with Meaghan, Shirin, and Arthur, though Arthur gets plenty of playful shade right out of the gate. The energy is chaotic in the best way, and we all seem to embrace it.This time around, we're not doing a structured game or typical author discussion. Instead, we've decided to have a casual roundtable where we toss out book recommendations based on popular titles.Think of it as a “if you liked this, try this” style chat, the kind of stuff you might scroll through on BookTok, but with more tangents, more laughs, and a whole lot more coffee shop banter.So, yes, it's a podcast version of one of those aesthetic recommendation reels, but longer and full of personality. We're hoping it helps listeners find their next favorite read, whether they're winding down for bed or commuting with earbuds in. Along the way, we make plenty of jokes, toss in personal stories, and keep things as relatable as ever.Cozy Fantasy And Twisty YA PicksMeaghan kicks things off with Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. It's a standout in cozy fantasy, a genre that's all about lower stakes and high charm. This one's about a retired assassin who just wants to run a coffee shop. We love it because it's charming without the constant doom that high fantasy sometimes leans into. If you're tired of watching your favorite characters die dramatically, this is your safe space.From there, we get three recommendations to follow that cozy vibe:This Will Be Fun by E.B. Asher offers more of an epic twist, following four heroes who reunite years after saving the world to stop another evil. It's got humor, sarcasm, and a nostalgic team-up energy.Forged by Magic by Jenna Wolfhart includes orcs, elves, and romance, much like Legends and Lattes, but kicks the fantasy world-building up a notch.Dreadful by Caitlin Rosakus is quirky and a bit chaotic. A man wakes up in an evil wizard's lair and slowly realizes… he's the wizard. It's got dark magic with a comedic undertone that keeps things from getting too heavy.Next, Shirin brings up We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, a twisty, emotional YA mystery that clearly divides readers. Some of us saw the ending a mile away. Others (hi, Shirin) were shocked. Either way, it sparks strong reactions. From there, the recommended reads are:One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus, a classic high school murder mystery.A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, which begins as a school project but morphs into a full-on whodunit.Both offer those unreliable narrators and layers of secrets that make for great binge reads (and binge-worthy shows, too).Sci-Fi Sarcasm and Robots with FeelingsArthur (yes, we're letting him talk now) shifts us into sci-fi territory. He spotlights The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, which is being adapted into a TV show. The series centers around a sarcastic AI bot who's pretending not to be sentient while dealing with messy human feelings. It's funny, sharp, and dives into questions about identity and autonomy.The companion picks for Murderbot are:Neuromancer by William Gibson, the cyberpunk classic full of noir and hacking vibes.Autonomous by Annalee Newitz, a gritty, emotional dive into freedom and biotech ethics.Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie features a starship AI stuck in a single human body, trying to cope and also seek revenge.This whole section sparks a thoughtful conversation about how sci-fi is evolving to focus more on questions of self, ethics, and AI rights, especially as real-world conversations about artificial intelligence ramp up.From Gothic to Gruesome: Creepy Houses and Haunting PastsMeaghan circles back with another strong pick: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. This gothic classic inspires a group of haunting and eerie recommendations:The September House by Carissa Orlando, where every September, the house goes full horror mode with blood on the walls and something lurking in the basement.The Only One Left by Riley Sager, another gothic mystery involving a secluded cliffside mansion and a historical murder case.We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson delivers that same psychological tension and sense of dread found in Rebecca.We also detour briefly into House of Leaves territory, a book so bizarre in structure it's basically unreadable in audiobook form. Everyone agrees it's an experience, not just a novel.Court of Thorns, Shadow Daddies, and Fae RomanceThen we dive into a big one: A Court of Thorns and Roses (or ACOTAR, because who has time for long titles) by Sarah J. Maas. This fantasy romance gets a lot of love and some side-eye, depending on who you ask. It starts like Beauty and the Beast but quickly turns into something much more plot-heavy and twisty.Meaghan recommends:Quicksilver by Callie Hart, where the heroine gets dragged into the fae realm after trying to save her family. It's rich in world-building and dramatic romantic tension.Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco, a witchy, demon-summoning fantasy with Italian vibes, mouthwatering food descriptions, and yes—another shadowy love interest.We joke a lot about the term shadow daddy, which is hilarious and weirdly accurate for some of these characters. The group shares a good laugh about imagining their dads lurking in shadows. Totally normal podcast behavior...One-Person Sci-Fi Adventures (and Existential Crisis Fuel)Back in sci-fi land, Arthur brings us to Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, which is getting a film adaptation with Ryan Gosling. The book features a lone scientist in space trying to save Earth, accompanied only by an alien rock creature named Rocky. The humor and heart between the human and the alien make it surprisingly emotional.The suggested read-alikes:The Martian, also by Weir. Obviously.Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey has that isolated, losing-your-sanity-in-space vibe.Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke, a classic of alien exploration and big questions.We get into the emotional toll of reading too much sci-fi. Some of us find it uplifting and full of imagination. Others (Shirin) find it deeply depressing. Fair enough.Vampires, Book Clubs, and Dark HumorShirin wraps things up with The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. It's part horror, part comedy, and all about strong women who take matters into their own hands. Think housewives turned vampire hunters. The book doesn't shy away from gruesome details, especially involving rats and face tentacles. But it's also heartfelt and hilarious.Similar reads include:The Honeys by Ryan La Sala, a genre-bending YA horror story about identity, loss, and hive-mind weirdness.So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison, another vampire tale that's more about the women fighting their way through chaos than the monsters themselves.We end with another surprise: Arthur picks something non-sci-fi for once. Catabasis by R.F. Kuang gets mentioned as a dark academia fantasy with two rival scholars traveling to hell. Yep. Hell. To save a professor. Talk about dedication.Recommendations here include:The Atlas Six by Olivie BlakeThe Secret History by Donna TarttIf We Were Villains by M.L. RioThey all explore dark magic, academic rivalries, and blurred lines between performance and reality. By the end, our TBR piles are towering, and we're all a little overwhelmed in the best way.Wrapping UpWe went through a ton of books in this episode: cozy fantasies, murder mysteries, sci-fi sagas, dark academia, and good old-fashioned horror. Some are funny. Some are terrifying. Some make you question your life choices. And some just make you feel seen as a reader who wants something a little different.We hope at least one of these picks piqued your interest or gave you something new to add to your list. And if your TBR just grew five feet taller, well… same. Until next time, keep on reading. We'll be here, figuring out how to read all of these before next week.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Turning the attention to ourselves and our own healing is the greatest gift we can give to anyone who's recovering from addiction or other life challenges. When someone we love enters treatment, it's an opportunity to focus on our own Soul Recovery and allow them to fully embrace their own journey of recovery.• Understanding that our loved ones' readiness for treatment is an opening for our own healing• Recognizing that trying to control or fix others actually keeps us stuck in dysfunction• Learning to see others wholeness, not as their addiction or behaviors• Breaking the cycle of focusing entirely on others while neglecting our own well-being• Setting healthy boundaries that honor our healing while supporting others' recovery journeys• Practicing detachment with love—letting go while still holding care• Moving from empathy (taking on others' pain) to compassion (witnessing with love)• Developing unconditional love that doesn't enable destructive behaviors• Creating peace within ourselves regardless of others' choicesRemember that feelings are part of being human, and even intense pain will pass. Choose your own health, happiness and peace—it's yours to claim.Join Rev.

We began this episode of the Fully-Booked: Literary podcast with just the two of us, Meaghan and Shirin. Arthur wasn't with us this time, and it felt like a return to our original format.We joked about possibly rotating the lineup again soon, but encouraged listeners to speak up if they preferred the two-host dynamic. We even said they could let Arthur know in the loudest way possible. The tone was lighthearted as we poked fun at our evolving chemistry, especially how Shirin and Arthur now seem to share a kind of sibling energy. That dynamic, we agreed, might eventually lead to Meaghan getting pushed out of the mix entirely.This conversation took us down memory lane, where we recalled a trip where Dan (Shirin's husband) couldn't come along. Meaghan was sure she'd feel like the third wheel, but it was the other way around. Shirin and Arthur bickered like siblings the entire day, leaving Meaghan feeling like an outsider.That moment, among others, reminded us how long we've all known each other and how naturally our dynamic has evolved. Meaghan and Shirin have been friends for nearly fifteen years. Shirin has been with Arthur for eleven years. This long-standing familiarity shapes how we collaborate on the podcast, creating a casual and comfortable space for experimentation and banter.Bringing Back the Game: Plot Guesses and Literary CurveballsWe leaned into a game we first played earlier in the year with Arthur. This time, Shirin joined in for her first round.The game is simple.One host reads a short passage from a book the other hasn't read, and then the other person tries to guess what the book is about. We made it clear that the goal isn't to identify the book title but to predict its plot based solely on a few opening lines. It's a mix of deduction and humor, and we had a great time with it.We started with The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden. Shirin read a monologue from the prologue, and Meaghan quickly assumed the narrator, Tom, was a stalker. She picked up on clues like his obsessive love for Daisy since childhood.Meaghan predicted a story where he either kills her or becomes possessive and dangerous. Shirin revealed that the book has split perspectives and time jumps. The real plot follows a woman named Sydney who begins to suspect her boyfriend may be involved in a murder. Meaghan was given a five out of ten for capturing the general vibe, even though she missed key elements.Next was The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune. Shirin hadn't read the book, but she guessed it involved people with psychic or magical abilities living in a mysterious house. Meaghan confirmed the premise and explained that Linus, a lonely social worker, is sent to assess magical children in a secluded home.One of those children is the Antichrist. The book is both whimsical and heartwarming, and Linus undergoes major personal growth. The mood of the book reminded us of a gentler, more humorous version of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.MLMs, Murder Mysteries, and Magical MishapsWe continued with Death in the Downline by Maria Abrams. Meaghan read the opening lines, which didn't give much away. However, Shirin picked up on subtle clues in the setting and the tone.She correctly guessed it had something to do with MLMs and maybe a darker twist. Meaghan revealed that the main character, Drew, joins a shady MLM out of desperation after being laid off and moving back in with her dad. She is lured in by a glowing ex-friend, and things quickly spiral into something much more disturbing. Meaghan praised the book's comedic edge and its criticism of exploitative business models. Shirin earned a high score for that guess.Then came The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab. Shirin had vague memories of the book and correctly guessed that Addie is immortal. Meaghan explained the twist.Addie lives forever after making a deal with the devil, but everyone she meets forgets her instantly. That changes when she meets someone who remembers her. The story is more character-driven than plot-heavy, which made it a hit for some and slow for others. Still, Meaghan enjoyed its emotional weight and gave Shirin a seven out of ten for her solid instincts.Apartments, Vampires, and Fantasy FeastsLock Every Door by Riley Sager came next. The scene Meaghan read involved a character waking up disoriented in a hospital. Shirin guessed it was about someone attacked in their own home. That guess was partially right.The story follows Jules, a woman hired to apartment-sit in a posh, historic New York building. She starts noticing strange behavior and uncovers a chilling mystery when another sitter goes missing. The thriller turns out to be less supernatural than expected, which surprised Meaghan in a good way. Shirin received a five out of ten for a reasonable but misdirected prediction.Shirin brought out Quicksilver by Callie Hart, and Meaghan made some strong assumptions based on the cover and fantasy tropes. She guessed the protagonist had magical abilities and ended up in an enemies-to-lovers arc involving a mysterious man. She was right about most of it.Seres, the main character, discovers she can manipulate metal, especially silver. This catches the attention of Kingfisher, a fae ruler searching for someone like her. He whisks her away to the fae realm, where a larger vampire war is underway. Shirin said she'd have to reread the book for all the details, but confirmed Meaghan's guess was impressively close.Next up was So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison. Meaghan guessed correctly that the story involved female friendship and vampires.The main character, Sloane, is trapped in an unhappy marriage and joins her best friend Naomi for a birthday trip. They meet a suspicious group of people, and things take a dark, supernatural turn. The book blends horror and feminist themes, exploring messy yet meaningful female bonds. Meaghan shared how much she enjoys Harrison's storytelling style, which centers female protagonists in paranormal scenarios.Secret Libraries, Teenage Witches, and Shadowy WorldsShirin read from The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake. The book opens with musings about the Library of Alexandria, and Meaghan admitted she had no idea what the actual plot was. Still, she correctly identified it as dark academia involving magic and a mysterious institution.Shirin confirmed that six talented individuals are recruited by Atlas to protect ancient magical knowledge, and each character brings a unique power. The book is about power, secrets, and alliances within this elite group.Meaghan introduced Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix. Shirin guessed it was about a rebellious teen forced into a new environment, possibly where witchcraft becomes involved. That was pretty close.The story follows a pregnant teenager in the 1970s who is sent to a home for unwed mothers. There, she bonds with other girls, and they begin exploring witchcraft through a mysterious librarian's book. While the story slows in the middle, Meaghan praised Hendrix's ability to create compelling female characters and write satisfying endings.To finish, Shirin brought out House of Earth and Blood from the Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas. Meaghan didn't know much about it beyond the genre but guessed it had fae and epic fantasy elements.Shirin explained that the emotional core of the book centers on a strong female friendship. When Bryce's best friend is murdered, the plot becomes a murder mystery wrapped in a modern fantasy world. Shirin prefers this series to ACOTAR for its stronger emotional resonance and more grounded character development.Wrapping It Up: Books Swapped and Fun HadAs we wrapped up, we laughed about the growing pile of books sitting beside us. Meaghan ended up borrowing a few of Shirin's picks, while Shirin promised to give some of Meaghan's thrillers a shot.We agreed this guessing game would be something to revisit. It not only highlights our reading differences but also reinforces how well we understand each other's tastes. Whether you're into fantasy epics or fast-paced mysteries, there's always something worth discovering.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode, we take a deep and compassionate look at the hidden emotion of resentment—the bitterness, hurt, and injustice we carry long after a moment has passed. Resentment can quietly shape our relationships, thoughts, and inner peace without us even realizing it. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, I explore how this emotion often masks deeper wounds like grief, abandonment, and unmet expectations. Together, we uncover how to recognize resentment not as a flaw, but as a sacred invitation to healing.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel What if one simple phrase could shift the way you see yourself—and your entire healing journey? In this episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, Rev Rachel introduces a powerful spiritual tool: the phrase “of course.”This gentle, compassionate practice invites you to look at your past behaviors, choices, and patterns through the lens of grace rather than shame. Instead of asking “What's wrong with me?” you begin to affirm: Of course I did the best I could with what I had.Through the lens of Soul Recovery, this phrase becomes a doorway to deep self-love and the release of shame. It allows you to soften judgment, forgive yourself, and come back to the truth:✨ You are not broken—you are remembering your wholeness. ✨ Of course you are worthy. Of course you are lovable. Of course you can heal.Let this episode support your journey back to yourself, one compassionate breath at a time.Join Rev.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Are you feeling overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in old patterns, or hard on yourself for not being “further along” on your healing journey? This episode is a gentle reminder that you don't have to have it all together to be on a spiritual path. In Soul Recovery, we learn that our desire to fix, control, or rush through discomfort only deepens our suffering. This conversation offers tools to help you soften into the present moment and let go of the belief that your healing has to look a certain way. Whether you're struggling with codependency, trying to manage someone else's life, or simply tired from carrying too much, this episode is here to remind you: it's okay to be exactly where you are. When we stop pushing against what is and open to grace, we return to the truth that we are always guided, supported, and enough—right here, right now.Join Rev.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel As we move through life, many of us unconsciously carry mental scorecards—marking every unmet expectation, every imbalance, every moment we don't feel seen or respected. In this episode, I share how that scorekeeping nearly unraveled my marriage and strained my connection with my children. What I discovered is that it was never really about who did the dishes or picked up the socks—it was about the deeper desire for respect, for energetic balance, for love. Soul Recovery teaches us to turn inward, to ask what our reactions reveal about our own beliefs, needs, and wounds, so we can begin healing at the root. This doesn't mean excusing harmful behavior or pretending everything is okay—it means reclaiming our power, seeing with spiritual eyes, and making choices aligned with our authentic selves. When I stopped keeping score and started focusing on energy exchange and honest connection, everything shifted. This practice extends beyond our closest relationships into how we interact with the world: with compassion, with clarity, and with courage. What scorecards are you holding? And what could change if you put them down and chose to see through the eyes of love?Join me IN PERSON on April 13th in Sacramento California for an all day retreat to deepen your Soul Recovery Process.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode of Recover Your Soul, I have the absolute joy of sitting down with my son, Bodhi, to talk about his journey of choosing sobriety and what that has meant for his life. Many of you know the challenges that come with loving someone who struggles with addiction—I've walked this path with both of my sons. Bodhi, now 26, has been navigating his own Soul Recovery, learning what it means to live a full and meaningful life without substances.  I couldn't be prouder of how is is showing up for himself.In our conversation, Bodhi shares the pivotal moments that led him to this decision. He opens up about the tools that keep him grounded—his faith and the power of community. He talks about what it's like to stay social in a world where partying is the norm, how he still attends festivals, DJs, and embraces adventure—all while staying sober. @BodhiHarrison on all social media platforms or his Patreon Join me IN PERSON on April 13th in Sacramento California for an all day retreat to deepen your Soul Recovery Process.

Rachel Harrison explores the transformative concept of owning your projections—the unconscious ways we attribute our unhealed wounds and limiting beliefs to others. Inspired by The Four Insights by Alberto Villoldo, she walks us through a powerful exercise to recognize and reframe these beliefs into empowering “journey statements.” Along the way, she guides us through the 9-Step Soul Recovery process, showing how taking responsibility for our inner world allows us to reclaim our power, break free from blame, and step into authentic peace—no longer needing others or the world to be different for us to be okay.Join me IN PERSON on April 13th in Sacramento California for an all day retreat to deepen your Soul Recovery Process.

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. As we celebrate Rich's one-year sobriety anniversary, we reflect on the subtle yet powerful shifts that have deepened our connection, moving away from control and quick fixes to create a foundation of safety where vulnerability can thrive. Rich shares how learning to truly listen and express his needs has allowed us to heal individually while growing closer together, revealing the beautiful paradox that the more we focus on our own soul recovery, the stronger our relationship becomes. We also explore the wisdom gained from supporting our adult children, navigating family complexities, and facing life's challenges with presence instead of numbing. This conversation is a testament to the power of Soul Recovery—not just for individuals, but for partnerships—and offers hope, insight, and encouragement for anyone seeking deeper connection and healing in their relationships.Join Me for a Soul Recovery Experience in 2025!There is nothing more powerful than stepping into sacred space together—in person or virtually—to deepen your Soul Recovery journey.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Is it too late to change? To heal? To detach with love? In this episode of Recover Your Soul, we explore the powerful Al-Anon principle of detachment through the lens of Soul Recovery, reminding you that it's never too late to step into a new way of being. Whether you've been on this journey for a while or are just beginning, detachment is a process of shifting old patterns, reclaiming your power, and finding peace within yourself—regardless of others' choices. If you've struggled with codependency and people-pleasing, this episode will help you release the need to fix, control, or take responsibility for others, so you can focus on your own healing. Together, we'll reflect on the Seven Detachments from Al-Anon: 1) Not to suffer because of the actions or reactions of others. 2) Not to allow ourselves to be used or abused. 3) Not to do for others what they can do for tRegister Today for Soul Recovery—In Person or Online!

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Have you ever found yourself trying to convince someone to see things the way you do—only to feel frustrated, unheard, or misunderstood? In this episode of Recover Your Soul, we're exploring the power of letting go of the fight and stepping into inner peace when others see the same situation differently.Soul Recovery teaches us that we are powerless over how others think, feel, and process their experiences. We don't need to be validated by others to trust our own truth. When we release the need to be “on the same page,” we create space for healing, compassion, and self-acceptance. And just as we honor our own experience, we can extend that same compassion to others—allowing them to have their own truth, even when it differs from ours.I'll share personal experiences and Soul Recovery tools to help you:Stop seeking validation from those who may never see it your way.Release attachment to the pain stories that keep you stuck.Embrace the freedom of allowing others their own perceptions.Have compassion for their perspective, even when it's different from yours.Find empowerment in shifting your own perception.FREE Soul Recovery Support Group on Zoom- 1st Monday of the Month from 6-7PM Mountain Time, free and open to everyone!

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode Rev. Rachel Harrison reflects on the delicate balance between needing others and maintaining independence. Inspired by today's reading from The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie, Rev Rachel explores how codependency and control show up in sneaky ways in our lives.

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.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of the Recover Your Soul podcast, we explore one of the most profound questions in relationships: how to know whether to stay or leave. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we'll look at how relationships, whether they're sources of love, challenge, or growth, can be powerful mirrors for our inner healing. This journey invites us to step into our own wholeness, moving beyond fear, codependency, or people-pleasing, and learning to listen to the wisdom within. Relationships have seasons, and part of our Soul Recovery process is gaining clarity on whether a relationship still aligns with our true self or if it's time to release it with compassion. It's not about a “right” or “wrong” decision but about trusting your soul's wisdom to lead you towards greater peace, healing, and joy in your life. Join me as we tap into this courageous self-inquiry and open ourselves to the possibility that, by honoring our own path, we step closer to the life our soul truly seeks.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.

On the Soul Recovery path, as we become more aligned with our authentic selves, we may find that some relationships no longer resonate.

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.

Send us a textThings are heating up as we approach Halloween. I'm joined by a good friend of Talking Scared – Rachel Harrison – to talk about the hot kind of immortality Her new novel, So Thirsty, does much more than that though. It weighs the weaponization of beauty culture, it asks how women can navigate a world in which youth seems to be everything, and it illustrates the sheer social awkwardness of immortality. Plus – it prompts a frank reckoning with just how badly I would cope in an orgy.  This is a fun episode, a deep episode, the perfect kind of bookish sign off for a few weeks whilst I take a break. And maybe a good hour of respite from the manic news cycle. Enjoy. Other books mentioned:The Return (2020), by Rachel HarrisonCackle (2021), by Rachel HarrisonSuch Sharp Teeth (2022), by Rachel HarrisonBlack Sheep (2023), by Rachel HarrisonNestlings (2023), by Nat CassidyReluctant Immortals (2022), by Gwendolyne KisteThe Militia House (2023), by John MilasThe Unsuitable (2020), by Molly Pohlig Support Talking Scared on Patreon Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

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.
