When we’ve spent years managing, fixing, or worrying about everyone else, it can feel impossible to stop. But real peace begins the moment we let go of control and turn the attention to ourselves.
In this heartfelt episode, Rev. Rachel shares how a week camping with her family became a powerful lesson in loving detachment, boundaries, and spiritual sovereignty. Through laughter, worry, and grace, she discovered once again that control is an illusion—and that our peace is ours to reclaim.
You’ll learn how to use Steps Two and Three of the Recover Your Soul Process to shift from fear to faith:
Step Two – Recognize powerlessness over others and release the illusion of control.
Step Three – Notice the stories and beliefs that keep you stuck in worry or over-functioning.
Whether you’re a parent of adult children or simply someone learning to let go, this episode invites you to allow rather than manage, to stay curious instead of controlling, and to choose presence over perfection.
Because your serenity doesn’t depend on anyone else being okay—your serenity is your spiritual power.
