Episode: Rachelle Raku on Rewiring Addiction, Reclaiming Pleasure, and Rising From the Fire
Description: What if addiction wasn’t a flaw… but a pattern trying to protect you?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with trauma-informed coach and feminine embodiment leader Rachelle Luv Raku to explore the link between trauma, addiction, and emotional expression—and how the very PARTS of us that seem “mad” might be the ones trying to bring us home.
We dive into the deeper roots of why we drink, what it really takes to feel safe, and how our addiction to fixing ourselves might be the most invisible trap of all.
