Soul & Soma Talk
Connect with your true self.
Welcome to Soul & Soma Talk. A podcast about healing, self discovery and the beautiful (and messy) journey of being human. I’m Barbara, a therapist based in Australia. My path into this work wasn’t straight or simple, it was shaped by my own experiences of feeling unseen, misunderstood, and out of place. The pain became my purpose and today I hold space for others to transform, reconnect, and step into who they truly are.
Why Soul and Soma? Because healing is never just in the mind. Soul speaks to your essence, your true self beneath the noise. Soma is the body, the vessel that remembers, feels and carries you. Together, they remind us that real change comes when we honour the whole of who we are: mind, body and soul.
On this podcast you’ll hear real talk, practical tools and honest stories from trauma, grief and relationships, to people pleasing, inner critics, hormones, and midlife shifts. Some episodes will be short reflections, others deeper conversations, always with honesty, compassion and the belief that even small steps can transform your life. This space is for you if you’ve ever felt tired of living for others, if you’re ready to stop settling and if you’re ready to reconnect with yourself.

Finding Yourself After Loss: Whitney Geoghegan’s Story
In this episode, I sit down with Whitney Geoghegan, an Ox*gen Breathwork Therapist, Hypnotherapist, and Fitness Coach, who masterfully blends science with soul. Now based in Wollongong, NSW Australia, Whitney opens up about her deeply personal journey, one of transformation, healing, and self discovery.
From grief and trauma to resilience and awakening, Whitney’s story began when she lost her dad just after her 14th birthday. Her search for meaning took her across Europe, Thailand, Bali, Byron Bay and The Gold Coast, as she faced her inner wounds, embraced deep healing and redefined her life.
