"What if the same fire that nearly destroyed you could be used to set you free?"
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, host Lee Davy engages in a deep and transformative conversation with Rachelle Luv Raku, a trauma-informed master coach and expert in feminine embodiment. They explore the intricate relationship between trauma, addiction, and emotional expression, unveiling how these factors interconnect and impact our lives. Rachelle shares her belief that substances like alcohol have specific frequencies that interact with our emotional states, particularly shame—a low-frequency emotion.
This interaction can trap individuals in a cycle of addiction, where alcohol temporarily elevates mood but subsequently exacerbates shame, leading to a destructive spiral. The discussion delves into the body's wisdom and the importance of understanding nervous system patterns that perpetuate cycles of addiction and self-sabotage. Rachelle offers insights into moving from states of numbness and chaos to regulation and full emotional expression, emphasizing the role of self-awareness in recognizing and addressing underlying emotional drivers.
Lee and Rachelle also touch upon the challenges of parenting and personal growth, highlighting how safety strategies and societal expectations can hinder authentic self-expression. They discuss the significance of recalibrating personal safety and embracing pleasure as a pathway to reclaiming personal sovereignty. Rachelle introduces her program, Wild Awakening, designed to help individuals rediscover their true selves by dismantling external safety hooks and fostering inner union between masculine and feminine energies.
The episode is a profound exploration of sensuality, sobriety, trauma, and transformation, offering listeners a unique perspective on addiction and personal empowerment. Listeners are encouraged to embrace the parts of themselves that may seem 'mad' and recognize them as pathways to healing and self-discovery. This conversation is a call to action for anyone seeking deeper connection with their body, truth, and desires.
