Lighthouse Within
Welcome to the Lighthouse Within Podcast. I’m Raina Rose, a coach and psychology nerd passionate about creating a space where you can come as you are and find connection through reflection. Through solo episodes and meaningful shared conversations, we’ll dive into the beauty of self-exploration, the power of authentic connection, and the courage it takes to show up, expand, and embrace our truest selves. Most of all, we’ll remind each other that we’re never alone in this beautiful, messy human experience and there is always an opportunity to come home to ourselves. Each episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and deepen the connection we have to our unique 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?
