In this episode of Recovery Unleashed, I sit down with Sophia Houridis—a mind coach and remedial therapist based in Adelaide, South Australia. Sophia helps individuals bridge the gap between their thoughts and the realities they create, guiding them to uncover what’s really driving their behaviors and patterns.

Sophia is one of my favourite humans on this planet. The way she can articulate her streams of consciousness and break down what’s happening for the person sitting in front of her is absolutely breathtaking. She has a way of pulling together the unseen and bringing clarity to the deepest, most unspoken truths.

Sophia was the second therapist I ever worked with, and the time we spent together was some of the deepest work I had done. It was the first time in 10 years that I had truly stayed clean for a significant amount of time, yet I also relapsed while seeing her—and hid it really well. In this episode, we have a raw and honest conversation about what it was like to carry that secrecy, and what it means to fully step into truth and accountability.

But the biggest moment of this episode? The day before this recording, I told my parents about my addiction for the first time. After 10 years of hiding it from them, another 8 years of being clean and pretending it never happened, I finally said the words out loud. This conversation is real and raw, diving into what that moment was like, how it felt to release that truth, and what it means to own your story, no matter how messy it is.

We also unpack the layers of addiction, how it isn’t always about drugs, and how it can manifest as overworking, overtraining, or constantly chasing something outside of ourselves. When you're inside of it, you often can’t even see it. And yet, the things we’re running from are usually so simple—a fear of lack, the belief that “I don’t want to be like that person,” rather than some big terrifying monster.

This episode is about truth, healing, and seeing addiction for what it really is—a symptom of something deeper, something we can absolutely heal when we have the right awareness, tools, and people around us.

🎙️ This one is deep, raw, and real—tune in now.

In this first episode of Recovery Unleashed, I sit down with Rachael Thompson Phillips—a spiritual entrepreneur, business mentor, and healer with over 20 years of experience in the spiritual and wellness industry.

Rachael was the very first person to explore my inner world with me. When I was training 19 hours a week, still living with substance issues, and had never even touched what was going on inside of me emotionally, she was my massage therapist—but she was so much more than that. She could see beyond what I was telling her, sensing the unspoken pain and emotional blocks that I wasn’t ready to face. That was the beginning of my lifelong healing journey, and in this episode, we reflect on those times, what she knew then, and how deep healing can look completely different for each person.

Now, Rachael is bringing her incredible gifts to the world in a new way—teaching massage therapists how to tune into the emotional body and deliver the same transformational healing she has been offering for decades. She’s created an accredited Holisitic massage course called “Decoding the Body” to help massage therapists learn from her holisitic methodology to transform clients lives just like she did mine. We dive into her work as an international psychic clairvoyant, healer, body intuitive, NLP practitioner, and holistic business mentor, as well as the power of intuition, emotional intelligence, and the connection between body and soul in the healing process.

This is a powerful conversation on the unseen layers of healing, the role of intuitive bodywork, and the importance of listening to what the body is really trying to tell us.
