Detaching with Love and How Codependency...

SHERRY GABA AND CARLA ROMO
About this episode

Sherry and Carla start the episode pointing out that you shouldn’t trust everything you see online about relationships. They then take a Love Fix Question from a listener who feels ashamed of their past and wants to stop caring about what others think. Then, they welcome guest Rachel Harrison, an inspiring woman who founded the Recover Your Soul podcast and community over three years ago. Through her personal journey of recovery from alcoholism, control addiction, and codependency she experienced profound changes in her life. These experiences led her to discover the transformation and the power of a spiritual path to a happy and healthy life and what she calls Soul Recovery.
