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.

You’re Not Broken — What’s Really Happening Beneath Anxiety and People-Pleasing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
When we grow up in environments where love, safety, or belonging feel uncertain, the mind and body adapt. Over time those adaptations can look like over-responsibility, fear of disappointing others, or constantly trying to be “enough.”
But those patterns are not your identity.
They are learned responses.
In this episode, we explore how conditioning shapes the way we see ourselves — and why recognizing this truth can be the beginning of returning to who you truly are.
If you’ve ever quietly wondered why you feel the way you do, this conversation may offer a new lens.
Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with fixing yourself.
Sometimes it begins with realizing you were never "broken."
If this episode resonated with you, here are a few places to continue the journey.
