Before Soul Recovery, I didn’t even know what my yes or no was—let alone how to honor it. In this episode, we explore the essential role of boundaries in your healing journey. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, boundaries aren’t rigid walls—they’re living, breathing expressions of self-love. They allow us to protect our energy, express our preferences, and release the need to control others. When we learn to say yes and no with clarity, we create safety in our relationships and peace within ourselves.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, drained, or unsure how to ask for what you need, this conversation is for you. We’ll explore the difference between control and true sovereignty, how your boundaries naturally evolve as you heal, and why honoring your needs isn’t selfish—it’s sacred. Join me on the path to deeper self-awareness, healthier relationships, and a life aligned with your soul.

Rev Rachel Harrison (00:00):
Before I started my soul recovery journey
, I didn't have any concept ofboundaries.
As a matter of fact, I didn'thave any concept of how to
protect my own energy.
I was way too involved ineverybody else's life and trying
to make everybody else happythat my yes and my no was not
clear.
I didn't even know what my yesand no was.
The more that I've learnedabout boundaries, requests and
(00:23):
preferences through the soulrecovery lens, I've had more
awareness about how, attendingto my own energy, having clarity
about what I need and beingable to ask for it in a healthy
way, and seeing that a boundaryis not really a wall.
It's an opening to createsafety in our relationships.
Enjoy the episode.

Welcome to the Recover yourSoul podcast a spiritual path to
a happy and healthy life.
My name is Rev Rachel Harrison.
I started Recover your Soulafter having profound changes in
my life from my recovery ofalcoholism, codependency and
control addiction.
I was guided to share the toolsand principles of spirituality
(01:05):
and soul recovery to help otherstransform their lives as mine
was transformed.
For us to overcome externalcircumstances, we need to turn
the attention to ourselves,focusing on our inner change and
healing, positive results inour lives will follow.
Welcome to the Recover yourSoul podcast and community.
(01:27):
I'm Rev Rachel.
Thank you so much for choosingin on your soul recovery journey
with me today.
Soul recovery is a spiritualpath to a happy and healthy life
and many of us come herebecause we have somebody in our
life who might be dysfunctional,have addiction, have chaos in
our life.
Maybe we dysfunctional, haveaddiction, have chaos in our
life, maybe we're peoplepleasers, codependents, and
(01:49):
you're walking through thesedoors thinking, oh my gosh, how
can I fix or change or help allthe people around me?
And soul recovery is aboutcoming back to yourself.
When I first was thinking abouta website and I was just barely
even thinking about a podcastit was like a figment of my
imagination, but the website wasreally website and I was just
barely even thinking about apodcast.
It was like a figment of myimagination, but the website was
really first and I thoughtmaybe I'd blog and I was sharing
(02:11):
my own experience oftransformation from healing and
I was brainstorming with my son,bodhi, about what I would call
it and very clearly the wordscame to me recover your soul.
What I get more and more andmore is that this is about us
recovering our soulsindividually.
(02:32):
Rachel.
It was saying recover your soul, come back to your soul, come
back to who you are, heal you,learn who you are, let go of all
of these beliefs and storiesand patterns and dysfunction and
your own addiction and all yourattachment and codependence,
and recover who you are, recoveryour soul.
(02:53):
And that's what we're doinghere.
We're learning how to love,accept, be compassionate with,
be patient with the people inour lives and hand them back
their own soul recovery, letthem be on their own experience
and how to attend to ourselves.
And one of the things that isimportant about really
understanding in this is how toreally be mindful of your own
(03:18):
energy.
What is it that you want?
What is it that you need?
And so today I wanted to talkabout boundaries.
I wanted to talk aboutboundaries, preferences and
requests, and when I think aboutboundaries from the way that
they're talked about now,there's some really amazing
boundaries experts in the verysort of in the world way of how
(03:42):
to handle people and boundariesand all kinds of different
understandings of how to talk topeople or understand more about
, maybe, how you've let peoplebe all over you and not have any
boundaries.
I don't want to be that person.
There's plenty of people thatwill do that and I really
recommend.
Terry Cole is somebody who I'velistened to her book Too Much,
(04:05):
which is about highlyfunctioning codependence, which
was a great book, and she hasanother one called Boundary Boss
.
So if you want that kind ofinformation, it's out there, go
get it.
She's got some really greatstuff on Insight, timer,
meditations and courses.
That's free and you can alwayslisten to her content or anybody
else about boundaries.

Back to the episode.
I want to talk about boundariesfrom the soul recovery
(05:28):
perspective and from the conceptof us getting more clarity
around us, attending to,protecting and really having
clarity of what is our energy.
What is our energy that we aretaking care of ourself?
And so often part of theboundaries situation is that we
(05:53):
are giving away a lot of ourenergy to other people or we're
allowing other people to takeour energy.
They're sucking it from usright by demanding or having
expectations and we're trying topeople please and fulfill those
expectations, and we can reallyget overwhelmed.
We can be giving away too much,we can be really wishy-washy,
(06:18):
and one of the reasons why Iwanted to talk about this was a
podcast.
In the bonus episodes was aninterview with Lisa Campion and
she is a Reiki healer.
We talked a lot about being anempath and what it is to have
intuition and, as an empath,when you're feeling other
people's feelings, then you cannot protect your energy right,
(06:42):
because you can't really tellwhat's theirs and what's yours,
and part of this journey thatwe're on is to get more clarity
about what that is, that you mayhave this empathic nature, this
ability to really attune toother people's feelings and
emotions, but we are notresponsible for their feelings
and emotions.
We're learning this.
This is actually new.
It's new, if you really thinkabout it, for generations that
(07:07):
has not been given permissionfor us to really attend to
ourselves.
We've been really rewarded as asociety for taking care of, for
being one of those people thatdoes for everybody else, and
this isn't about being selfishand this isn't about throwing
away everybody else in your life.
Everybody right now is beinggiven an opportunity to be
(07:32):
responsible for their ownwell-being, for their own
happiness.
I think, more than ever before,we are in this moment of grand
awakening where we're reallykind of coming out of this haze
that was this foggy system thatdidn't work.
If you really think about allof us who are listening to this
(07:55):
podcast, we've been through alifetime where there were no
cell phones, where there wereparty lines, where there was
only five stations to watch ontelevision, where our mothers
and fathers listened to theradio or didn't have TV.
I cared for people in eldercare when I was in that industry
(08:15):
, listening to people who wouldbe my grandmother or my great
grandmother's ages talking aboutriding horses to school.
One room schoolhouses we havetransformed so quickly and those
years where it was reallyaround desperate survival in the
United States has long gone,but we're still running from
(08:40):
these old systems that arereally based in fear, these old
systems that are really based infear, and this fear creates a
situation where we're we don'tknow what our yeses or nos are.
And that was my conversationwith Lisa Campion was she had
this moment in the podcast whereshe was talking about
boundaries and the importance ofa clear yes and a clear no,
(09:01):
because it provides a safety foreverybody involved.
It doesn't mean they have tolike your yes or no.
It means that there's clarityaround it and they can know for
sure that that's what you mean.
And if you have children, shewas saying in the podcast and I
think this is so true when youhave kids who know what the
(09:23):
clarity of the boundaries arethat this is a yes, this is a no
.
They have safety, they feelsafe.
They may not like the no, theymay throw temper tantrums and do
all the things, because forthem, they're just expressing
their feelings and they haveevery right to feel those
feelings.
We're also learning how to feelour feelings, but they know in
(09:43):
the end that a no is a no.
And we're learning how to dothat in the world too, because
we've been playing this gamewith everybody where we're all
not being clear about who we areand what feels good to us and
what is the right thing for us.
And this is what we're beingcalled to understand and it's so
(10:04):
essential.
It's such a big part of the soulrecovery process, the nine step
soul recovery process, becauseyou're you're powerless over
everything else around you.
That's step two in soulrecovery.
And then step three is you'relooking at the underneath
patterns, beliefs and storiesthat are in your subconscious.
They're the imprints, they'rethe programs that were put into
(10:27):
your mind as a child that you'vebeen in the world, and now
we're in this place where we'rewaking up, and so boundaries are
this place where what I reallywant to come across in our
talking about it is boundariesare not a place to be rigid and
it's not a place where you putup a wall and you make a demand.
Boundaries are a place where youcome to yourself and you have
(10:49):
clarity about what works for you, what you align with, what is
in your heart.
That is maybe a deal breaker.
Maybe you have more clarityabout somebody who continues to
show up in a way that isn'trespectful or isn't helpful or
isn't honest, and you can beclear about the fact that it's
like oh, if I can't control them, I'm powerless over the choices
(11:13):
that they make.
I can stop doing this dancewhere I think, if I just say it
this one time, or if they justwould love me just enough, maybe
they wouldn't do these things.
You start having this awarenessof the energy that you hold
within yourself.
That isn't judging them as bador horrible or the things that
(11:33):
we can blame all those thingsright, they're just off doing
their own souls curriculum hereon earth school.
They're just in their own stuff, their own pain, but it doesn't
have to affect you.
You do not have to reap theconsequences of somebody else's
continued choices that don'talign with you.
(11:55):
And the beauty about boundariesthat we're having more clarity
around is boundaries is not away to control their behavior.
Boundaries is a clarity of whatyou are going to do when
something doesn't work for you,and it could be as simple as not
going to a party.
People want you to go at aparty and you're expected to go
(12:18):
to this event and you're tiredor you know that the people that
are going to be there aren'tgoing to align, that you find
yourself in this sort of pettysmall talk or people complaining
and it doesn't feel good to youanymore and it doesn't feel
good to you anymore.
You're able to start to makethese transitions and so when
you have the boundary that saysthank you so much for the invite
(12:39):
, I'm going to take care ofmyself and have a night home.
That is a healthy decision tomake, and somebody may come back
and be like oh, why didn't youcome?
And you're expected.
We're in a world now where we'resaying can we actually look at
each person's situation thatthey're in and give them
compassion for their ownwell-being?
(12:59):
And instead of this supposed to, why don't you do this for me?
Energy exchange.
We're actually having morecompassion and gentleness to
everyone involved, but mostlyreally with ourselves, without
this aggression or anger, butmostly really with ourselves,
without this aggression or anger, being able to clearly state
and say what we need, what areour preferences?
(13:22):
And needs and preferences areimportant to be able to share
with the people around you.
But then we have thisattachment to expectation that
we call a boundary.
But when you call that aboundary, you're really just
setting up for control and soulrecovery.
Step three in soul recovery isletting go.
Step two in soul recovery isletting go of control.
(13:44):
Right, so we're releasing thecontrol.
We're recognizing we'repowerless over everything else
around us and that flexibilityto be able to, it's like breath.
You know, just feel the breathof this situation.
It's like this moving energy.
It's an organism all on its own, these relationships that we
(14:08):
have with people and you can askfor what you need.
But then you step back withthis clarity and gentleness to
yourself.
What is your protection aroundyourself?
Not protection like a steelwall, but energetic protection
of your energy field, thisawareness that your energy field
(14:30):
is important and that it'salways changing.
Who we were a week ago, a monthago, a year ago, 10 years ago.
We are not that person anymoreand we're constantly expecting
the people around us to continueto be who they were as much as
who we want them to be, versusbeing present with who they are
(14:52):
right this minute and allowingourselves to be clear about who
we are right this minute andallowing ourselves to be clear
about who we are in this minute.
So the boundary allows us toactually have more clarity about
how we are going to respond,how we are going to interact,
what we are going to do.
And sometimes it's really aboutyou being able to have real
(15:13):
sovereignty and the wordsovereignty is really up now and
I think it's so beautifulbecause it's really around us
having clarity of ourindividuation, not again, not as
like some sort of selfishblocking the world out, but
starting to really have theclarity around not giving your
power away that other people areentitled to how they feel,
(15:37):
they're entitled to what theythink, just like you're entitled
to how you feel and what youthink.
That if we are all sovereign inourselves and we're letting go
of the sticky attachments thatwe have to everybody to behave
in these certain ways for us tobe okay, we're letting go of the
need for them to be okay for usto be okay.
(15:58):
So we're sovereign in our ownwell-being and our own happiness
and our own joy and our ownreally seeing that we get to
choose how we're going to see it, we get to choose what it's
giving us information aboutourselves.
Every situation is offering usinformation to learn more about
(16:23):
ourselves and if we're inreactivity to something
generally, it's because there'ssomething that is underneath
that needs to be healed and it'srevealing itself to us in those
moments.
Revealing itself to us in thosemoments and the boundaries
sometimes can be around us,having clarity that those
requests, those needs that arestated to be able to do them in
(16:45):
new ways, right Like, instead ofthis rigid pushing, what if we
can allow it to be thisbreathing energy?
What if we can allow it to bethis breathing energy?
Now, if you have somebody inyour life who is a boundary
bully and you've made clearrequests and they still don't
(17:06):
show up in any form, that ishonoring and providing safety in
your relationship, doesn'tmatter whether it's a work
relationship, friend or familymember.
One of the things that I thinkthat we forget is that we have
the ultimate ability in our ownself to make choices of who we
(17:29):
interact with, how we interact,and sometimes I think we allow
people into our lives who reallyare unhealthy for us for way,
way, way too long, and I thinkat other times we're so sort of
caught up still in a lot of theold pain and the old systems
(17:52):
that we interact with people inour lives that have this
opportunity for us to learn moreabout ourselves and have
clarity about how we can ask forwhat we need with love and
compassion.
But we get so hurt that we endup putting up one of those rigid
ultimatum boundaries controlthings, and sometimes it's hard
(18:15):
to see the difference betweenthe two, and it's understandable
why it's difficult.
Because relationships aredifficult, they're complicated
and the more that we look at ourasking for what we need and
what our preferences are and howwe can be in each relationship
really attending to our owninternal energy and making
(18:38):
choices for ourself that alignwith our highest good and
offering ourself forgiveness andcompassion for maybe some of
the stuff that's coming up, itopens up the door to have
compassion and forgiveness forthe people around us, but that
does not mean that then you letthem walk all over you.
That is not what that means.
(18:59):
That's that this is where theboundaries come in, because
there are people in your lifewho are making choices that are
not healthy for them but theydon't need to be unhealthy for
you and those boundaries.
When you set up those requests,the people who are used to you
(19:20):
being kind of wishy-washy andnot having a solid yes or no
they're going to test thoseboundaries just like a
two-year-old.
Maybe you have a kid who's nota two-year-old anymore, but
they're going to push theboundaries in the same way,
because they probably have beenpushing them since they were two
and there hasn't been clarityNow in this concept, I really
(19:48):
want us to be looking at thevalue of you checking in with
yourself on a regular basis,because you are changing so much
and as we step into the soulrecovery journey and the process
, the amount of old patterns andold wounds that come up and are
(20:09):
being revealed to be seen, tobe witnessed, to be loved and to
then be released is a prettybig deal, and so you've got to
give yourself grace that maybesomething that worked for you a
year ago doesn't work for younow, or a relationship that you
continue to have with somebodywas just fine last week and now
(20:30):
you're showing up this week andit doesn't work for you.
The not working for you is not ajudgment that they're bad.
It's clarity about youattending to and protecting your
energy, because that's yourvital life force.
This is your lifetime, and yourability to be healthy and happy
relies exclusively on how youchoose to be in your own body
(20:54):
and in your own mind, becausewe're powerless over everybody
else and we're connecting to ourhigher self.
We're connecting to a higherpower.
We're connecting to our lightenergy.
We're connecting to the divinenature of who we are.
That's step four in soulrecovery.
We're connecting to our lightenergy.
We're connecting to the divinenature of who we are.
That's step four in soulrecovery.
We're connecting to this moreexpansive part of ourself that
(21:16):
can hold space for situationsand start to look at things with
a little more grace on allsides and, at the same time, is
looking at what is in a moreneutral platform and letting go
of the stickiness on our end sothat you can actually have a
(21:37):
more clear discussion withyourself of does this work for
me or not?
Because if we're takingeverything personally, we can be
really getting irked and pissedoff at stuff that really isn't
that big of a deal I think about.
In my relationship with Richthat you know, there's a lot of
things that I've had to work onfor myself about, like is this a
(22:01):
deal breaker for me Is the youknow unfinished projects around
the house.
Is that a deal breaker for me?
Now, my boundary, my protectionof my energy is that it's
important to me to have a placewhere I feel safe and
comfortable, and so I have donethe work on the inside of the
house to make it so that I likeit.
(22:24):
But I also don't get all thatbent out of shape about trash
not taken out or crumbs on thecounters or things that somebody
could say I have a request or apreference that this is taken
care of.
And you know, ultimately I'mnot going to set some sort of
marker on top of a hill and getpissed about those things and or
(22:48):
even around the projects aroundthe house, because I have more
awareness of like who Rich isand what his life is like and
what's in his mind.
I have more curiosity all thetime about those kinds of things
and so again, for somebody elseit may be a deal breaker for
them, but for me I want toprotect my own energy.
(23:10):
So when I come to him and Ihave a clear request, he knows
that that's important to mebecause I'm not being
wishy-washy in a whole bunch ofdifferent other ways and kind of
being passive, aggressive.
When I have an ask, he knowsthat I'm asking out of this
clarity of inattention and thenhe generally will respond pretty
(23:31):
quickly in a positive way tohelp me out with what I need
help with and that's taken usyears to get through and that's
just something so simple.
Another place in like boundariesand requests.
I had an example from actuallyfrom Rich, that he is in a band
with somebody who just sent atext message to everybody saying
(23:55):
you know, I'm really realizingthis is too stressful for me and
I'm going to bow out.
Now you've got all these bandmembers who are being affected,
who want this person to be inthe band, and they've got shows
lined up, and so you could go ona whole thing that says well,
how could he do that when theyhave shows lined up?
I think it's great.
(24:16):
On the soul recoveryperspective, we're saying what
if we all attended to ourselveswithout blame and without
shoulds, and I have tos and allthose kinds of things?
He's giving them plenty of timeto find a replacement for his
part, or they can come togetherand decide they're not going to
(24:38):
do shows anymore.
But the initial reaction is alittle bit like oh, why is he
doing that?
Well, the secondary reaction iswhat a fabulous boundary for
him to say I recognize.
This doesn't resonate with meanymore, for whatever reason.
There's not even a need topoint fingers or blame or say
(24:59):
anything other than I'm an adultand I can look at what I do
with my time and my energy, andI think the more that we can
really see that everybody shouldbe choosing what feels good to
them.
What are their boundaries, whatare they doing with their
bodies, with their lives?
Because then everyone'sactually more responsible and
(25:20):
having sovereignty for their ownhappiness in the first place.
And if you have people who arein a band with you or showing up
at a party or in your life andrelationship, you want someone
that you can trust, that theiryes is a yes and that their no
is a no.
And if we live by the fouragreements, which are not taking
it personally, not makingassumptions, impeccable with
(25:43):
your word and always doing yourbest, the world would be a lot
easier place for us all to be,because that actually is a
clarity of boundaries and energyright there in that situation
and making requests with thepeople around you is important,
but if we're not having anattachment to, they have to do
it, or if they don't do it, thenyou know, then something
(26:07):
terrible is going to happen.
You have the ability in yourown boundary about how you're
going to live in your body.
If you continue to makerequests, requests, requests,
requests, and that person is notstepping in, helping, honoring
your request, being respectful.
There's something to look at.
Not judging them.
Being respectful, there'ssomething to look at.
Not judging them, just lookingat it with neutrality, being
(26:36):
present, with what is.
And then you make a choice inyourself about how you're going
to respond, what your part isgoing to be.
And sometimes that part isleaving relationships, leaving
situations, making big changes.
But the more that we reallygive everybody space to make
those changes and those choicesfor themselves, the more we
actually have a society ofpeople who are doing not from a
(26:59):
selfish place, but from acompassionate, higher energy
place.
They're actually resonating andbeing more true to who they are
.
Don't we all just want to bemore true to who we are from our
whole happy, healthy selves?
Because when you're being trueto who you are, you're not
living in resentment or anger orfear.
You're stepping into your light, you're stepping into the truth
(27:23):
of who you are and that's howwe want to raise our society.
That's what we want to all bedoing in the first place.
Nobody should be working fromshoulds or have tos.
That is the old system.
So boundaries requests,preferences.
They're really around you,attuning and attending to your
(27:45):
own energetic self, letting goof the judgment of the people
around you and seeing if you canstep into compassion for them
and their choices, especiallystepping into your sovereign
state with yourself and thenlooking at it from this new
(28:07):
perception, this new way ofseeing it, so that you can speak
with honesty, integrity,clarity, compassion with each
other and then see with moreflexibility what is shaking out
and if you need to be rigid, ifyou need to be strong, if you
need to be clear as day, if youneed to put up these strong like
(28:31):
boundaries is the word I'mcoming up with, right but these
strong intentions of what youare going to do, then you have
more strength to make thatactive step from a place that
has more knowing behind it, morestrength behind it because
you've looked at it from acleaner perspective.
(28:54):
I want us, as the recoverycommunity, to be really
attending to ourselves and touse each of these situations
that come up in our life as away for us to reflect for
ourself how we can see ourselvesmore clearly, what is going on
underneath.
Because then, once you see it,then you can move to step five,
(29:17):
which is letting it go.
Not living from these limitingbeliefs, not living from a place
where you think you have to becodependent or enabling or do
for others.
As your first number onepriority that everybody else's
needs come first, stepping intothe fullness of who you are.
That's step six, that you'restepping into the fullness of
(29:37):
who you are.
The truth that you can haveautonomy, you can have the
sovereignty, you can take yourpower back and have compassion
and watch the people around youin your life have whatever's
going on with them, but you'renot taking it personally, you're
just witnessing and observingit.
And sometimes it's not going towork for you and sometimes you
(30:00):
have to really ask and haverequests for what you need.
But when you do it from thisplace of tenderness and grace,
the other person's always goingto hear better and the people
who are here to have thesecollaborative conversations and
relationships with, where you'reboth learning and healing and
(30:21):
growing, it will only make thoserelationships even stronger and
the ones where you're pushingand pushing and pushing and
you're hitting a wall over andover and over again.
That boundary is for you torealize that you're the one
making the change and how you'regoing to show up, how you're
going to respond to it andwhether you're going to be there
(30:42):
for it.
It's okay to walk away fromsome of those places where
people are being boundarybullies.
You have the ultimate authorityin your own life.
You have sovereignty.
So I hope you really see thisas this idea that boundaries is
more of a concept.
It's like the vibration, thedeclaration of your sovereignty,
(31:05):
of your caring for your ownenergy and really your soul's
wholeness.
Again, it's always coming backto that knowing that you are
enough, you are whole, there'snothing wrong with you, you are
not broken.
You are just rememberingeverything that is true and
wonderful and amazing about whoyou are, and sometimes these
(31:29):
bumping up against people andsituations are the greatest
mirrors that you can have to beable to see more clearly places
where you're still living fromthe old paradigm, but we're
stepping into the new paradigm.
And being in this place ofclear boundaries, clear
preferences and clear requestsis not selfish.
(31:52):
It's actually creating safetyin all of your relationships and
safety for yourself Until nexttime.
Namaste, thank you for listeningand I hope that that helps
support your soul recoveryprocess.

I thank you for giving it fivestars, and the reviews that are

I am honored to be part of yourlife.
Together we can do the workthat will recover your soul.
Before I started my soul recovery journey
, I didn't have any concept ofboundaries.
As a matter of fact, I didn'thave any concept of how to
protect my own energy.
I was way too involved ineverybody else's life and trying
to make everybody else happythat my yes and my no was not
clear.
I didn't even know what my yesand no was.
The more that I've learnedabout boundaries, requests and
(00:23):
preferences through the soulrecovery lens, I've had more
awareness about how, attendingto my own energy, having clarity
about what I need and beingable to ask for it in a healthy
way, and seeing that a boundaryis not really a wall.
It's an opening to createsafety in our relationships.
Enjoy the episode.
(00:43):
To create safety in ourrelationships.
Enjoy the episode.
Welcome to the Recover yourSoul podcast a spiritual path to
a happy and healthy life.
My name is Rev Rachel Harrison.
I started Recover your Soulafter having profound changes in
my life from my recovery ofalcoholism, codependency and
control addiction.
I was guided to share the toolsand principles of spirituality
(01:05):
and soul recovery to help otherstransform their lives as mine
was transformed.
For us to overcome externalcircumstances, we need to turn
the attention to ourselves,focusing on our inner change and
healing, positive results inour lives will follow.
Welcome to the Recover yourSoul podcast and community.
(01:27):
I'm Rev Rachel.
Thank you so much for choosingin on your soul recovery journey
with me today.
Soul recovery is a spiritualpath to a happy and healthy life
and many of us come herebecause we have somebody in our
life who might be dysfunctional,have addiction, have chaos in
our life.
Maybe we dysfunctional, haveaddiction, have chaos in our
life, maybe we're peoplepleasers, codependents, and
(01:49):
you're walking through thesedoors thinking, oh my gosh, how
can I fix or change or help allthe people around me?
And soul recovery is aboutcoming back to yourself.
When I first was thinking abouta website and I was just barely
even thinking about a podcastit was like a figment of my
imagination, but the website wasreally website and I was just
barely even thinking about apodcast.
It was like a figment of myimagination, but the website was
really first and I thoughtmaybe I'd blog and I was sharing
(02:11):
my own experience oftransformation from healing and
I was brainstorming with my son,bodhi, about what I would call
it and very clearly the wordscame to me recover your soul.
What I get more and more andmore is that this is about us
recovering our soulsindividually.
(02:32):
Rachel.
It was saying recover your soul, come back to your soul, come
back to who you are, heal you,learn who you are, let go of all
of these beliefs and storiesand patterns and dysfunction and
your own addiction and all yourattachment and codependence,
and recover who you are, recoveryour soul.
(02:53):
And that's what we're doinghere.
We're learning how to love,accept, be compassionate with,
be patient with the people inour lives and hand them back
their own soul recovery, letthem be on their own experience
and how to attend to ourselves.
And one of the things that isimportant about really
understanding in this is how toreally be mindful of your own
(03:18):
energy.
What is it that you want?
What is it that you need?
And so today I wanted to talkabout boundaries.
I wanted to talk aboutboundaries, preferences and
requests, and when I think aboutboundaries from the way that
they're talked about now,there's some really amazing
boundaries experts in the verysort of in the world way of how
(03:42):
to handle people and boundariesand all kinds of different
understandings of how to talk topeople or understand more about
, maybe, how you've let peoplebe all over you and not have any
boundaries.
I don't want to be that person.
There's plenty of people thatwill do that and I really
recommend.
Terry Cole is somebody who I'velistened to her book Too Much,
(04:05):
which is about highlyfunctioning codependence, which
was a great book, and she hasanother one called Boundary Boss
.
So if you want that kind ofinformation, it's out there, go
get it.
She's got some really greatstuff on Insight, timer,
meditations and courses.
That's free and you can alwayslisten to her content or anybody
else about boundaries.

Back to the episode.
I want to talk about boundariesfrom the soul recovery
(05:28):
perspective and from the conceptof us getting more clarity
around us, attending to,protecting and really having
clarity of what is our energy.
What is our energy that we aretaking care of ourself?
And so often part of theboundaries situation is that we
(05:53):
are giving away a lot of ourenergy to other people or we're
allowing other people to takeour energy.
They're sucking it from usright by demanding or having
expectations and we're trying topeople please and fulfill those
expectations, and we can reallyget overwhelmed.
We can be giving away too much,we can be really wishy-washy,
(06:18):
and one of the reasons why Iwanted to talk about this was a
podcast.
In the bonus episodes was aninterview with Lisa Campion and
she is a Reiki healer.
We talked a lot about being anempath and what it is to have
intuition and, as an empath,when you're feeling other
people's feelings, then you cannot protect your energy right,
(06:42):
because you can't really tellwhat's theirs and what's yours,
and part of this journey thatwe're on is to get more clarity
about what that is, that you mayhave this empathic nature, this
ability to really attune toother people's feelings and
emotions, but we are notresponsible for their feelings
and emotions.
We're learning this.
This is actually new.
It's new, if you really thinkabout it, for generations that
(07:07):
has not been given permissionfor us to really attend to
ourselves.
We've been really rewarded as asociety for taking care of, for
being one of those people thatdoes for everybody else, and
this isn't about being selfishand this isn't about throwing
away everybody else in your life.
Everybody right now is beinggiven an opportunity to be
(07:32):
responsible for their ownwell-being, for their own
happiness.
I think, more than ever before,we are in this moment of grand
awakening where we're reallykind of coming out of this haze
that was this foggy system thatdidn't work.
If you really think about allof us who are listening to this
(07:55):
podcast, we've been through alifetime where there were no
cell phones, where there wereparty lines, where there was
only five stations to watch ontelevision, where our mothers
and fathers listened to theradio or didn't have TV.
I cared for people in eldercare when I was in that industry
(08:15):
, listening to people who wouldbe my grandmother or my great
grandmother's ages talking aboutriding horses to school.
One room schoolhouses we havetransformed so quickly and those
years where it was reallyaround desperate survival in the
United States has long gone,but we're still running from
(08:40):
these old systems that arereally based in fear, these old
systems that are really based infear, and this fear creates a
situation where we're we don'tknow what our yeses or nos are.
And that was my conversationwith Lisa Campion was she had
this moment in the podcast whereshe was talking about
boundaries and the importance ofa clear yes and a clear no,
(09:01):
because it provides a safety foreverybody involved.
It doesn't mean they have tolike your yes or no.
It means that there's clarityaround it and they can know for
sure that that's what you mean.
And if you have children, shewas saying in the podcast and I
think this is so true when youhave kids who know what the
(09:23):
clarity of the boundaries arethat this is a yes, this is a no
.
They have safety, they feelsafe.
They may not like the no, theymay throw temper tantrums and do
all the things, because forthem, they're just expressing
their feelings and they haveevery right to feel those
feelings.
We're also learning how to feelour feelings, but they know in
(09:43):
the end that a no is a no.
And we're learning how to dothat in the world too, because
we've been playing this gamewith everybody where we're all
not being clear about who we areand what feels good to us and
what is the right thing for us.
And this is what we're beingcalled to understand and it's so
(10:04):
essential.
It's such a big part of the soulrecovery process, the nine step
soul recovery process, becauseyou're you're powerless over
everything else around you.
That's step two in soulrecovery.
And then step three is you'relooking at the underneath
patterns, beliefs and storiesthat are in your subconscious.
They're the imprints, they'rethe programs that were put into
(10:27):
your mind as a child that you'vebeen in the world, and now
we're in this place where we'rewaking up, and so boundaries are
this place where what I reallywant to come across in our
talking about it is boundariesare not a place to be rigid and
it's not a place where you putup a wall and you make a demand.
Boundaries are a place where youcome to yourself and you have
(10:49):
clarity about what works for you, what you align with, what is
in your heart.
That is maybe a deal breaker.
Maybe you have more clarityabout somebody who continues to
show up in a way that isn'trespectful or isn't helpful or
isn't honest, and you can beclear about the fact that it's
like oh, if I can't control them, I'm powerless over the choices
(11:13):
that they make.
I can stop doing this dancewhere I think, if I just say it
this one time, or if they justwould love me just enough, maybe
they wouldn't do these things.
You start having this awarenessof the energy that you hold
within yourself.
That isn't judging them as bador horrible or the things that
(11:33):
we can blame all those thingsright, they're just off doing
their own souls curriculum hereon earth school.
They're just in their own stuff, their own pain, but it doesn't
have to affect you.
You do not have to reap theconsequences of somebody else's
continued choices that don'talign with you.
(11:55):
And the beauty about boundariesthat we're having more clarity
around is boundaries is not away to control their behavior.
Boundaries is a clarity of whatyou are going to do when
something doesn't work for you,and it could be as simple as not
going to a party.
People want you to go at aparty and you're expected to go
(12:18):
to this event and you're tiredor you know that the people that
are going to be there aren'tgoing to align, that you find
yourself in this sort of pettysmall talk or people complaining
and it doesn't feel good to youanymore and it doesn't feel
good to you anymore.
You're able to start to makethese transitions and so when
you have the boundary that saysthank you so much for the invite
(12:39):
, I'm going to take care ofmyself and have a night home.
That is a healthy decision tomake, and somebody may come back
and be like oh, why didn't youcome?
And you're expected.
We're in a world now where we'resaying can we actually look at
each person's situation thatthey're in and give them
compassion for their ownwell-being?
(12:59):
And instead of this supposed to, why don't you do this for me?
Energy exchange.
We're actually having morecompassion and gentleness to
everyone involved, but mostlyreally with ourselves, without
this aggression or anger, butmostly really with ourselves,
without this aggression or anger, being able to clearly state
and say what we need, what areour preferences?
(13:22):
And needs and preferences areimportant to be able to share
with the people around you.
But then we have thisattachment to expectation that
we call a boundary.
But when you call that aboundary, you're really just
setting up for control and soulrecovery.
Step three in soul recovery isletting go.
Step two in soul recovery isletting go of control.
(13:44):
Right, so we're releasing thecontrol.
We're recognizing we'repowerless over everything else
around us and that flexibilityto be able to, it's like breath.
You know, just feel the breathof this situation.
It's like this moving energy.
It's an organism all on its own, these relationships that we
(14:08):
have with people and you can askfor what you need.
But then you step back withthis clarity and gentleness to
yourself.
What is your protection aroundyourself?
Not protection like a steelwall, but energetic protection
of your energy field, thisawareness that your energy field
(14:30):
is important and that it'salways changing.
Who we were a week ago, a monthago, a year ago, 10 years ago.
We are not that person anymoreand we're constantly expecting
the people around us to continueto be who they were as much as
who we want them to be, versusbeing present with who they are
(14:52):
right this minute and allowingourselves to be clear about who
we are right this minute andallowing ourselves to be clear
about who we are in this minute.
So the boundary allows us toactually have more clarity about
how we are going to respond,how we are going to interact,
what we are going to do.
And sometimes it's really aboutyou being able to have real
(15:13):
sovereignty and the wordsovereignty is really up now and
I think it's so beautifulbecause it's really around us
having clarity of ourindividuation, not again, not as
like some sort of selfishblocking the world out, but
starting to really have theclarity around not giving your
power away that other people areentitled to how they feel,
(15:37):
they're entitled to what theythink, just like you're entitled
to how you feel and what youthink.
That if we are all sovereign inourselves and we're letting go
of the sticky attachments thatwe have to everybody to behave
in these certain ways for us tobe okay, we're letting go of the
need for them to be okay for usto be okay.
(15:58):
So we're sovereign in our ownwell-being and our own happiness
and our own joy and our ownreally seeing that we get to
choose how we're going to see it, we get to choose what it's
giving us information aboutourselves.
Every situation is offering usinformation to learn more about
(16:23):
ourselves and if we're inreactivity to something
generally, it's because there'ssomething that is underneath
that needs to be healed and it'srevealing itself to us in those
moments.
Revealing itself to us in thosemoments and the boundaries
sometimes can be around us,having clarity that those
requests, those needs that arestated to be able to do them in
(16:45):
new ways, right Like, instead ofthis rigid pushing, what if we
can allow it to be thisbreathing energy?
What if we can allow it to bethis breathing energy?
Now, if you have somebody inyour life who is a boundary
bully and you've made clearrequests and they still don't
(17:06):
show up in any form, that ishonoring and providing safety in
your relationship, doesn'tmatter whether it's a work
relationship, friend or familymember.
One of the things that I thinkthat we forget is that we have
the ultimate ability in our ownself to make choices of who we
(17:29):
interact with, how we interact,and sometimes I think we allow
people into our lives who reallyare unhealthy for us for way,
way, way too long, and I thinkat other times we're so sort of
caught up still in a lot of theold pain and the old systems
(17:52):
that we interact with people inour lives that have this
opportunity for us to learn moreabout ourselves and have
clarity about how we can ask forwhat we need with love and
compassion.
But we get so hurt that we endup putting up one of those rigid
ultimatum boundaries controlthings, and sometimes it's hard
(18:15):
to see the difference betweenthe two, and it's understandable
why it's difficult.
Because relationships aredifficult, they're complicated
and the more that we look at ourasking for what we need and
what our preferences are and howwe can be in each relationship
really attending to our owninternal energy and making
(18:38):
choices for ourself that alignwith our highest good and
offering ourself forgiveness andcompassion for maybe some of
the stuff that's coming up, itopens up the door to have
compassion and forgiveness forthe people around us, but that
does not mean that then you letthem walk all over you.
That is not what that means.
(18:59):
That's that this is where theboundaries come in, because
there are people in your lifewho are making choices that are
not healthy for them but theydon't need to be unhealthy for
you and those boundaries.
When you set up those requests,the people who are used to you
(19:20):
being kind of wishy-washy andnot having a solid yes or no
they're going to test thoseboundaries just like a
two-year-old.
Maybe you have a kid who's nota two-year-old anymore, but
they're going to push theboundaries in the same way,
because they probably have beenpushing them since they were two
and there hasn't been clarityNow in this concept, I really
(19:48):
want us to be looking at thevalue of you checking in with
yourself on a regular basis,because you are changing so much
and as we step into the soulrecovery journey and the process
, the amount of old patterns andold wounds that come up and are
(20:09):
being revealed to be seen, tobe witnessed, to be loved and to
then be released is a prettybig deal, and so you've got to
give yourself grace that maybesomething that worked for you a
year ago doesn't work for younow, or a relationship that you
continue to have with somebodywas just fine last week and now
(20:30):
you're showing up this week andit doesn't work for you.
The not working for you is not ajudgment that they're bad.
It's clarity about youattending to and protecting your
energy, because that's yourvital life force.
This is your lifetime, and yourability to be healthy and happy
relies exclusively on how youchoose to be in your own body
(20:54):
and in your own mind, becausewe're powerless over everybody
else and we're connecting to ourhigher self.
We're connecting to a higherpower.
We're connecting to our lightenergy.
We're connecting to the divinenature of who we are.
That's step four in soulrecovery.
We're connecting to our lightenergy.
We're connecting to the divinenature of who we are.
That's step four in soulrecovery.
We're connecting to this moreexpansive part of ourself that
(21:16):
can hold space for situationsand start to look at things with
a little more grace on allsides and, at the same time, is
looking at what is in a moreneutral platform and letting go
of the stickiness on our end sothat you can actually have a
(21:37):
more clear discussion withyourself of does this work for
me or not?
Because if we're takingeverything personally, we can be
really getting irked and pissedoff at stuff that really isn't
that big of a deal I think about.
In my relationship with Richthat you know, there's a lot of
things that I've had to work onfor myself about, like is this a
(22:01):
deal breaker for me Is the youknow unfinished projects around
the house.
Is that a deal breaker for me?
Now, my boundary, my protectionof my energy is that it's
important to me to have a placewhere I feel safe and
comfortable, and so I have donethe work on the inside of the
house to make it so that I likeit.
(22:24):
But I also don't get all thatbent out of shape about trash
not taken out or crumbs on thecounters or things that somebody
could say I have a request or apreference that this is taken
care of.
And you know, ultimately I'mnot going to set some sort of
marker on top of a hill and getpissed about those things and or
(22:48):
even around the projects aroundthe house, because I have more
awareness of like who Rich isand what his life is like and
what's in his mind.
I have more curiosity all thetime about those kinds of things
and so again, for somebody elseit may be a deal breaker for
them, but for me I want toprotect my own energy.
(23:10):
So when I come to him and Ihave a clear request, he knows
that that's important to mebecause I'm not being
wishy-washy in a whole bunch ofdifferent other ways and kind of
being passive, aggressive.
When I have an ask, he knowsthat I'm asking out of this
clarity of inattention and thenhe generally will respond pretty
(23:31):
quickly in a positive way tohelp me out with what I need
help with and that's taken usyears to get through and that's
just something so simple.
Another place in like boundariesand requests.
I had an example from actuallyfrom Rich, that he is in a band
with somebody who just sent atext message to everybody saying
(23:55):
you know, I'm really realizingthis is too stressful for me and
I'm going to bow out.
Now you've got all these bandmembers who are being affected,
who want this person to be inthe band, and they've got shows
lined up, and so you could go ona whole thing that says well,
how could he do that when theyhave shows lined up?
I think it's great.
(24:16):
On the soul recoveryperspective, we're saying what
if we all attended to ourselveswithout blame and without
shoulds, and I have tos and allthose kinds of things?
He's giving them plenty of timeto find a replacement for his
part, or they can come togetherand decide they're not going to
(24:38):
do shows anymore.
But the initial reaction is alittle bit like oh, why is he
doing that?
Well, the secondary reaction iswhat a fabulous boundary for
him to say I recognize.
This doesn't resonate with meanymore, for whatever reason.
There's not even a need topoint fingers or blame or say
(24:59):
anything other than I'm an adultand I can look at what I do
with my time and my energy, andI think the more that we can
really see that everybody shouldbe choosing what feels good to
them.
What are their boundaries, whatare they doing with their
bodies, with their lives?
Because then everyone'sactually more responsible and
(25:20):
having sovereignty for their ownhappiness in the first place.
And if you have people who arein a band with you or showing up
at a party or in your life andrelationship, you want someone
that you can trust, that theiryes is a yes and that their no
is a no.
And if we live by the fouragreements, which are not taking
it personally, not makingassumptions, impeccable with
(25:43):
your word and always doing yourbest, the world would be a lot
easier place for us all to be,because that actually is a
clarity of boundaries and energyright there in that situation
and making requests with thepeople around you is important,
but if we're not having anattachment to, they have to do
it, or if they don't do it, thenyou know, then something
(26:07):
terrible is going to happen.
You have the ability in yourown boundary about how you're
going to live in your body.
If you continue to makerequests, requests, requests,
requests, and that person is notstepping in, helping, honoring
your request, being respectful.
There's something to look at.
Not judging them.
Being respectful, there'ssomething to look at.
Not judging them, just lookingat it with neutrality, being
(26:36):
present, with what is.
And then you make a choice inyourself about how you're going
to respond, what your part isgoing to be.
And sometimes that part isleaving relationships, leaving
situations, making big changes.
But the more that we reallygive everybody space to make
those changes and those choicesfor themselves, the more we
actually have a society ofpeople who are doing not from a
(26:59):
selfish place, but from acompassionate, higher energy
place.
They're actually resonating andbeing more true to who they are
.
Don't we all just want to bemore true to who we are from our
whole happy, healthy selves?
Because when you're being trueto who you are, you're not
living in resentment or anger orfear.
You're stepping into your light, you're stepping into the truth
(27:23):
of who you are and that's howwe want to raise our society.
That's what we want to all bedoing in the first place.
Nobody should be working fromshoulds or have tos.
That is the old system.
So boundaries requests,preferences.
They're really around you,attuning and attending to your
(27:45):
own energetic self, letting goof the judgment of the people
around you and seeing if you canstep into compassion for them
and their choices, especiallystepping into your sovereign
state with yourself and thenlooking at it from this new
(28:07):
perception, this new way ofseeing it, so that you can speak
with honesty, integrity,clarity, compassion with each
other and then see with moreflexibility what is shaking out
and if you need to be rigid, ifyou need to be strong, if you
need to be clear as day, if youneed to put up these strong like
(28:31):
boundaries is the word I'mcoming up with, right but these
strong intentions of what youare going to do, then you have
more strength to make thatactive step from a place that
has more knowing behind it, morestrength behind it because
you've looked at it from acleaner perspective.
(28:54):
I want us, as the recoverycommunity, to be really
attending to ourselves and touse each of these situations
that come up in our life as away for us to reflect for
ourself how we can see ourselvesmore clearly, what is going on
underneath.
Because then, once you see it,then you can move to step five,
(29:17):
which is letting it go.
Not living from these limitingbeliefs, not living from a place
where you think you have to becodependent or enabling or do
for others.
As your first number onepriority that everybody else's
needs come first, stepping intothe fullness of who you are.
That's step six, that you'restepping into the fullness of
(29:37):
who you are.
The truth that you can haveautonomy, you can have the
sovereignty, you can take yourpower back and have compassion
and watch the people around youin your life have whatever's
going on with them, but you'renot taking it personally, you're
just witnessing and observingit.
And sometimes it's not going towork for you and sometimes you
(30:00):
have to really ask and haverequests for what you need.
But when you do it from thisplace of tenderness and grace,
the other person's always goingto hear better and the people
who are here to have thesecollaborative conversations and
relationships with, where you'reboth learning and healing and
(30:21):
growing, it will only make thoserelationships even stronger and
the ones where you're pushingand pushing and pushing and
you're hitting a wall over andover and over again.
That boundary is for you torealize that you're the one
making the change and how you'regoing to show up, how you're
going to respond to it andwhether you're going to be there
(30:42):
for it.
It's okay to walk away fromsome of those places where
people are being boundarybullies.
You have the ultimate authorityin your own life.
You have sovereignty.
So I hope you really see thisas this idea that boundaries is
more of a concept.
It's like the vibration, thedeclaration of your sovereignty,
(31:05):
of your caring for your ownenergy and really your soul's
wholeness.
Again, it's always coming backto that knowing that you are
enough, you are whole, there'snothing wrong with you, you are
not broken.
You are just rememberingeverything that is true and
wonderful and amazing about whoyou are, and sometimes these
(31:29):
bumping up against people andsituations are the greatest
mirrors that you can have to beable to see more clearly places
where you're still living fromthe old paradigm, but we're
stepping into the new paradigm.
And being in this place ofclear boundaries, clear
preferences and clear requestsis not selfish.
(31:52):
It's actually creating safetyin all of your relationships and
safety for yourself Until nexttime.
