Al-Anon Through the Recover Your Soul Lens - When the Bottom is the Beginning: Love, Surrender, and the Freedom to Let Go

Listen to this episode from Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life on Spotify. Send one way text to Rev Rachel This week, I’m sharing something special with the whole Recover Your Soul community — an episode that originally aired on the Bonus Podcast back in June. The Bonus Podcast is where we take a deeper dive into Soul Recovery, with spiritual book studies, guest conversations, and real-life reflections inspired by Al-Anon, metaphysics, and the healing journey within. If you’ve never tuned in, I wanted you to experience the richness of these episodes for yourself — and if you love it, you can join us as a free or paid member on Patreon, or as an Apple Podcast subscriber, where there are over 200 bonus episodes waiting for you.In this episode, we explore “Love and Surrender” — a powerful Al-Anon reading that speaks to the moment we finally release the day-to-day pain and guilt of trying to fix someone else’s life. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we talk about letting go of the illusion of control, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing our own healing over managing another person’s journey. Whether it’s with a child, spouse, or someone else you love, this is about opening our hearts to unconditional love — the kind that allows others to have their own experiences, while we stay grounded in our own spiritual connection and well-being.This is the work of Soul Recovery: moving from enmeshment and exhaustion into compassion, clarity, and freedom. I hope you’ll listen, let it sink in, and feel encouraged to walk this path with us.
