Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
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.

Last month I celebrated my 59th. It had me reflecting on the biggest influences that rerouted my path, especially the books that shaped my mindset, my career, my health, and even my view of the universe. These aren't just books I enjoyed. They are turning points that literally changed how I live. Some helped me become a better teacher, others taught me discipline and financial independence, and a few opened up my sense of purpose. Here's the list in the same order I cover them, with a personal note on why each mattered to me. Mindset, Self-Discovery Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson I stumbled into this book in 1997 after literally knocking over a stack of them in Barnes & Noble. It sparked my lifelong love of self-help. Its short chapters and practical reminders taught me to let go of stress and focus on what actually matters, which helped me lead my teams (and my life) with a clearer head. You'll See It When You Believe It, Wayne Dyer This is the book I've re-read more than any other, sometimes daily for weeks at a time. Dyer's lessons on manifestation and the “seven attachments” helped me release ego, control, and the need to be right, which created more peace and focus in every area of my life. Stumbling on Happiness, Daniel Gilbert Gilbert proves we're never as happy or as sad as we think we'll be, because we can't fully predict our future selves. This freed me from chasing perfection and helped me embrace the journey, knowing joy comes more from growth than from reaching the finish line. Storytelling, Career Transformation Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath A dearly-departed friend gifted me this book in December 2007, and it completely changed how I thought about communication. Its framework for making ideas memorable became the foundation of my Interview Intervention methodology, and eventually the blueprint for the storytelling systems I still teach today. Interview Intervention, Yours Truly I wrote this book in just five weeks at the end of 2011, and it completely transformed my career. For the first time, I captured years of coaching into a system anyone could use, and that was the first official step that turned me from recruiter to teacher to author. Choice, Goals, Perspective This Is Water, David Foster Wallace This slim book, adapted from a 2005 commencement speech, is one of the most powerful I've read. Wallace's simple but profound message, that you can choose what to think about, has reshaped how I approach daily life, teaching me to stay present and compassionate in the middle of life's noise. It also served at the stimulation for the next book on this list. Out of Reach But in Sight, Me Again Born from a keynote I gave to scholarship students, I turned the speech into a book. Capturing timeless lessons on setting and pursuing goals, it later evolved into my Goal Setting Masterclass and proved how small steps can inspire big transformations. Wealth, Health The Millionaire Next Door, Thomas Stanley and William Danko At 30, this book confirmed that wealth is built through discipline, not high income. It cemented my lifelong approach of living below my means, investing early, and building habits that would later help me achieve financial independence and peace of mind. Good Energy, Casey Means Of the 70+ health books I've read, this one had the most immediate impact on my life. Understanding metabolic health and cutting refined sugars, refined grains, and seed oils gave me more energy, clarity, and resilience than I thought possible. I've felt sharper and healthier ever since. My Life's Work, Beyond The Zebra Code, The New Me This is my most ambitious book, and easily the toughest project I've ever taken on. It demanded every ounce of experience, discipline, and creativity I had, but it also gave me the chance to share the full methodology I believe can help any professional thrive. Journey of Souls, Michael Newton This book opened my mind to ideas about past and future lives, whether you take them literally or not. It gave me a new lens for thinking about purpose, why I might be wired the way I am, and how being open to bigger questions can deepen the way you live today. These aren't just books on a shelf. They're turning points in my story. Please add any of these to your own shelf that speak to you. Maybe they can be turning points in your story too!

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores one of neuroscience's greatest mysteries: consciousness. At the center of this discussion is the thalamus, a small walnut-sized structure in the brain that scientists now believe plays a vital role in generating conscious experience.Long considered just a relay station for sensory signals, new research highlighted in an August 29, 2025 Popular Mechanics article suggests the thalamus acts as the brain's “switchboard,” determining which sensory information reaches awareness and which fades into the background. Molly explains how silence, rest, and focused attention support this system, and why the thalamus may be a key to understanding what it means to be aware.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the thalamus is more than a relay—it may be the brain's switchboard for consciousnessHow the thalamocortical loop coordinates awarenessWhat happens to consciousness when thalamic activity is disrupted (anesthesia, coma, psychedelics)How silence and rest reduce the thalamus's workload and improve clarity and presenceFour practical ways to support the networks that depend on the thalamusKey Quote“When you pause, when you rest, when you seek silence, you are not just taking a break. You are nurturing the very networks that make awareness possible.”References and ResourcesPopular Mechanics (Aug 29, 2025): Your Brain's Switchboard Could Be Key to Explaining ConsciousnessPrevious Think Thursday episodes: Silence is Golden and The Neuroscience of Mental Rest ★ Support this podcast ★

We say we want transformation, but often we create environments that protect people from pain instead of preparing them for growth. In the process, we enable spiritual stagnation, emotional fragility, and shallow discipleship. This week on Win Today, Katie Davis Majors exposes the hidden dangers of well-meaning empathy, the false security of “safe spaces,” and the clichés that erode authentic faith. In this conversation, we'll also tackle how to live faithfully in the tension between what God has promised and what we see right now. If you've ever found yourself numbing pain instead of processing it, or if you've settled for comfort instead of maturity, this conversation will challenge you to grow, even when it costs you.

I Feel Bad For Most Realtors Today
In this episode, Stefanie revisits the early days of her “all-in” recovery from binge eating and restriction. She shares raw excerpts from personal emails she wrote at the time, capturing the fear, doubt, and body image struggles of letting go of food rules on her 40th birthday. Stefanie reflects on why this attempt at recovery succeeded when so many earlier ones hadn't, and what it really means to be ready for change. She also answers a listener question about the most sensible advice clients resist, explaining why nervous system safety and readiness matter more than logic when it comes to eating regularly or buying clothes that fit. If you've ever wondered what “all-in” looks like from the inside—or why advice can sound simple but feel impossible—this episode will meet you there.

What if your biggest block to peace was actually trying to protect you? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author and spiritual teacher Gabby Bernstein for a heartfelt conversation on healing, self-trust, and what it really means to surrender. Together, we explore the hidden protectors within us — like perfectionism, control, and overachieving — and how they often block our access to deeper faith and freedom. Gabby shares her personal journey of trauma recovery, spiritual awakening, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped her return to her true self. We talk about spiritual bypassing, the difference between doing the work and being in it, and why compassion — not pressure — is the path to lasting transformation. You'll leave with a simple 4-step practice to reconnect with your inner safety, soften your inner critic, and begin manifesting from a grounded sense of self.
