Send us Fan Mail Have you ever stopped to wonder where that voice actually came from? In this episode, I'm getting personal about the inner critic, where it's really born, how it takes root, and why it sounds so much like you that you never thought to question it. Because the voice that has been narrating your life may not be yours at all. New episodes every week. Follow, subscribe, and...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes the people who loved you in your wound can't quite recognize you in your healing. And the distance that follows isn't a betrayal. It's growth. In this episode, we explore what it really means to outgrow the people you love. Not cutting people off, not labeling anyone toxic, but understanding why healing changes our relationships, and how to tell the differ...

Send us Fan Mail What if anxiety isn't something happening to you, but something trying to tell you something? In this episode, Naomi gets deeply personal about her own journey with anxiety. From a childhood spent scanning for danger, to a week-long panic attack in her early twenties, to a decade of medication that treated the symptom but never the wound. This episode explores what anxiety ac...

Send us Fan Mail Healing without an apology starts with understanding why the apology was never going to be enough. In this episode we go deep into why we keep waiting, what we are really looking for, and what it actually takes to find peace without the closure we were never given. Whether you are waiting for an apology that never came, or holding one that arrived but changed nothing — this conver...

Send us Fan Mail Healing the father wound starts with understanding how it shaped you. In this episode we explore what the father wound really is, how it lives in the body, and what reclamation actually looks like. My own story. The fear and the longing. The voice I carried into adulthood without knowing it. And what healing looked like on the other side. If you're working through childhood w...

Send us Fan Mail What if the pain you’ve carried for years has a name? In this deeply personal episode, I explore the mother wound and the lasting impact of growing up without the emotional safety, tenderness, validation, or connection every child deserves. Together, we explore how this wound follows us into adulthood through relationships, self-worth, people-pleasing, anxiety, abandonment wounds,...

Send us Fan Mail Before the podcast, before the words, before any of this, there was a little girl lying in bed at night with an invisible mic in her hand, speaking to souls she hoped would feel less alone. In this deeply personal episode, Naomi Carr shares the story behind Dear Rising Soul, the loneliness that shaped her childhood, and the quiet calling that followed her long before she understoo...

Send us Fan Mail We tell ourselves we’re afraid of failing, but that’s not the whole truth. In this episode, we explore the deeper fear that keeps us from showing up. The fear of being truly seen. The fear of being human in front of others, of being judged, misunderstood, or found not enough. You’ll be invited to look at what it’s really costing you to stay hidden, and what begins to shift when yo...

Send us Fan Mail We don’t wake up one day and decide to abandon ourselves. It happens quietly… in the moments we say yes when everything in us is saying no, stay silent when something real wants to be spoken, and keep showing up for everyone else while slowly disappearing from ourselves. In this episode, we explore what self-abandonment really is, where it begins, and why it can feel so natural we...

Send us Fan Mail If you've ever been the one who sees the pattern, names it, feels it, and tries to change it — while everyone around you carries on as if nothing is wrong — this episode is for you. Being a cycle breaker is not just about awareness. It's the exhaustion of holding what others won't look at. The loneliness of being the only one in the room who feels the weight of it....

Send us Fan Mail Resentment can stay with you long after something has happened. Even when you want to let it go, you may not know how. And then there are the moments where you have done something, and you carry the weight of it. The shame. The replaying of it. In this episode, we move through forgiveness as a path to release, not a free pass. We explore: • Why forgiveness is not about excusing wh...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes what we call love is actually loyalty… and it’s the very thing keeping you stuck. In this episode, we explore what blind loyalty looks like and how it can quietly shape the choices you make in your relationships. We talk about: • The difference between love and loyalty • Why you stay even when something does not feel right • How conditioning and early relationships influ...

Send us Fan Mail Why is it so hard for women to fully support each other? Not just on the surface, but in a real and meaningful way. In this episode, we explore what is often called the sister wound, a deeply rooted pattern shaped by conditioning, lived experience, and generational influence. This is not about blame. It is about understanding where these patterns come from, how they show up in our...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we explore perfectionism and the fear of not being enough. Perfectionism is often seen as discipline or high standards, but beneath it is something deeper. A quiet pressure that can shape how we see ourselves and how we move through our lives. This conversation looks at where perfectionism comes from, how it takes hold, and the subtle ways it can keep us stuck. No...

Send us Fan Mail Many of us were taught what to believe… but not how to check in with ourselves and ask what is actually true for us. Over time, that can lead us to override our own voice… to question our intuition… and to look outside of ourselves for answers we already carry within. In this episode, we explore what it means to reconnect with your inner authority and begin asking a simple but pow...

Send us Fan Mail Shame is not something you were born carrying… but over time, it can begin to feel like it is. In this episode, we explore the weight of shame in its many forms… learned early, passed through generations, shaped by what we’ve done, and reflected in how we see our own bodies. Often, shame is quiet. Subtle. Repeated. And over time, it can begin to shape your identity. “I am not enou...

Send us Fan Mail There comes a point in the healing journey where you begin to feel different. The things that once felt familiar… no longer fit. The roles you once carried… begin to fall away. And you may find yourself wondering, “Who am I now?” In this episode, we explore what’s really happening in that space. Because this isn’t about losing yourself. It’s about remembering who you were before t...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever looked back on your past… and it almost feels like it happened to someone else? In this episode, we explore why that happens and what it really means when the emotional weight of your past begins to fade. This isn’t about forgetting. It’s about healing. I share part of my own journey, what changed within me, and how deep healing transforms not just our memories, but...

In this episode of Dear Rising Soul , Naomi Carr shares a deeply personal story about a moment that changed the trajectory of her life and taught her the quiet power of choosing stillness instead of reaction.

Send us Fan Mail Why does inner peace sometimes feel so hard to maintain? Many of us believe that if we heal enough or understand ourselves deeply enough, peace should simply stay. But life continues to move. Situations unfold, emotions surface, and old patterns can quickly pull us out of the calm we thought we had reached. In this episode of Dear Rising Soul , we explore why inner peace isn’t som...

Send us Fan Mail What if the anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism you’ve been trying to fix were never flaws at all? In this opening episode of Dear Rising Soul , Naomi Carr explores a powerful shift in perspective: the possibility that many of the behaviors we struggle with are not signs that something is wrong with us — but survival patterns we learned early in life.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like you are the one who has to hold everything together? The dependable one. The strong one. The one people turn to when things fall apart. Many people carry a deep sense of responsibility — not just for their own lives, but for the emotions, stability, and well-being of everyone around them. In this episode of Dear Rising Soul , Naomi Carr explores how the “re...

Send us Fan Mail Fear is a natural survival mechanism. It exists to protect us. But sometimes the fear we carry isn’t coming from present danger — it’s coming from conditioning that shaped us long ago. In this episode, Naomi Carr explores how fear can become deeply woven into the way we see the world, ourselves, and the choices we believe we’re allowed to make. From fear of rejection to fear of di...
