Lighthouse Within
Welcome to the Lighthouse Within Podcast - I’m your host Raina Rose. I believe we all bring something unique to this world, and that becoming who we’re meant to be is really about coming home to who we’ve always been.
My passion is sharing - sharing thoughts, conversations, and our stories. When we open up, we remember we’re never doing this alone.
Whether it’s me sharing solo or sitting down with a guest, this podcast is all about self-exploration, connection, and the courage it takes to expand, so we can show up just as we are.
With roots in psychology and spirituality, I’m here to reflect, offer different perspectives, and to teach from my experience - not with the answers, but with the hope that what I continue to learn (and unlearn) might help light the way for someone else.
Every episode is a chance to pause and tune into your inner light.
So let’s get cozy - and shine together.

#18 The Lens We See Through
What if the discomfort you're feeling isn’t just about what’s happening, but how you're seeing it?
In this episode, I reflect on the idea that our experiences are shaped not only by what we experience, but by the lens we’re looking through. We explore how our beliefs, past wounds, and emotional patterns color our perception - and how inner work and meaningful connection can help us see more clearly.
If you’ve been feeling foggy, reactive, or stuck, this one’s for you. It’s a reminder that clarity doesn’t come from fixing everything around you - it starts with turning inward.
Journaling prompts:
- What story are you telling yourself in this moment - and is it one that brings compassion or criticism?
- Is this about what’s actually happening, or about how it feels through a past wound?
