In this episode of the Neshamas podcast, host Moshe Hanen welcomes Rachel Lebowitz, known as Ruchi, who shares her profound journey through the challenges of codependency and her husband's gambling addiction. Growing up in a large family in Muncie, Ruchi felt misunderstood and unheard, which affected her self-worth and led to destructive behaviors. She details how these early experiences influenced her choice in partners and her marriage to someone struggling with addiction. Ruchi's story is one of resilience and empowerment.
After discovering her husband's gambling addiction, she realized the severe impact it had on their marriage and financial stability. Instead of placing all the blame on him, Ruchi embarked on a path of self-discovery, identifying her own struggles with codependency and low self-esteem. She emphasizes the importance of therapy and mental health support in this journey, having learned to prioritize her emotional well-being over material desires.
Through attending 12-step programs and engaging in therapy, Ruchi has come to understand the deep connection between her childhood experiences and her adult relationships. She shares the significance of finding peace within oneself and the power of living one day at a time, rather than striving for external validation. Ruchi's story is a testament to the transformative power of vulnerability, support, and personal growth.
Moshe Hanen, a certified life and addiction recovery coach, encourages listeners to find hope in their own struggles by seeking help and building supportive relationships. Ruchi concludes by inviting those who resonate with her story to connect with her on Instagram, where she continues to find strength through community and sharing her journey. This episode offers a valuable perspective on healing from addiction and codependency, highlighting the importance of self-care, therapy, and empowerment.
It inspires listeners to take charge of their mental health and find a path to recovery and fulfillment.
