As we come to the end of season three, I wanted to share some of the popular episodes from this year that aired for the Apple Podcast subscribers and Patreon Members.
This episode is from a line in the 3rd step prayer of AA and Al-Anon "Release me of the bondage of self." This has been a powerful part of my Soul Recovery journey as I learn that I have a choice in how I see the world around me, what I think about myself, and letting go of what others think about me. So much of my pain was due to my perception and projection as I interacted with people or situations in my life. With the deeper connection to my Higher Power I have found an emotional freedom that has changed my life forever.
God,
I offer myself to Thee
To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties,
That victory over them may bear witness
To those I would help of Thy Power,
Thy love and Thy way of life,
May I do Thy will always!

How to Process Your Feelings in a Healthy Way in Soul Recovery
Send one way text to Rev Rachel
You often hear me say that Soul Recovery is about turning the attention to ourselves. It's that inner part of ourselves that is changing - taking control of the only thing that we have control of which is our thoughts, our emotions, our reactions. This is an episode about the inner process, about how we can take the deep dive into our own spiritual practice and our own internal healing. Who do we talk to? Who do we share it with? How do we express what's going on with us? When do we share it with the people in our lives? It's complicated. It has balance. It's not one way for everyone. This is my discussion of how I'm using Soul Recovery to heal and process my emotions and perceptions in healthy ways and be a peace.

Should I Stay in my Relationship?
Send one way text to Rev Rachel
Being in a romantic relationship is not straight forward or easy even in the best of situations. Most relationships will have moments when you ask "Should I stay in my relationship?" Not a simple answer for most of us, even when the relationship looks easy to leave by others in our lives. This episode is about deeper questions that are around this decision from a spiritual and emotional perspective. The only person who knows what is best for you is you and your Higher Power, however you may need to do some inner work so you can hear your guidance and truth clearly. No matter where you go...there you are- so it is always best to dig into your Soul Recovery journey so you can find an inner happiness no matter where you are.
This conversation is based on my own life journey and perspective of my marriage where my safety was never in question. If you and/or your children are unsafe there are resources and there is a way out. Call 800.799.SAFE (7233) for the Domestic Violence Hotline if you are needing help.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life - Release Me of the Bondage of Self
Transcript
You know, I've done a lot of episodes at this point. And so I know that a lot of this is starting to be a turn where maybe you've heard something in one way, but then it'll be in a different way. And in all the spiritual teachings that I am studying, I find that I'm not saying anything new or different. That hasn't already been said by somebody, it's hearing it from the perspective or the person or the timing, or whatever it is, that really
