Dear Rising Soul Podcast
Dear Rising Soul is a podcast about healing, self-awareness, and returning to yourself.
Hosted by Naomi Carr, this show explores the deeper patterns that shape our lives — including fear, conditioning, responsibility, relationships, inner peace, and self-trust.
Through honest storytelling and reflective conversations, Naomi shares insights from her own healing journey and the work she teaches through the Return to Self Academy.
While understanding conditioning is an important part of healing, this podcast also explores the deeper, soul-led aspects of growth — including intuition, energy, and reconnecting with the inner wisdom that guides transformation.
These conversations are an invitation to slow down, reflect, and remember who you are beneath the roles and patterns you were taught to carry.
Remember. Rise. Heal.
