from Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life · host Rev. Rachel Harrison

What do you do when someone you love is hurting and you cannot fix it?This episode explores one of the most challenging spiritual lessons, learning to detach with love. Through the lens of both Al-Anon and the Recover Your Soul process, we look at how to witness another’s pain without absorbing it, rescuing them, or losing yourself in the process.We reflect on trusting each soul’s journey, creating compassionate boundaries, and choosing your own peace even when the people you love are struggling. This is tender, sacred work, and it reminds us that we are held by something greater still.This episode is from the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast earlier this year, and if this episode resonates with you, I invite you to become an Apple Podcast subscriber or Patreon member.
