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.

Food Peace & Binge Eating
If you've ever felt trapped in the cycle of binge eating, struggled with your relationship with food, or battled with body image, this episode is for you.
I sit down with Nicole Gaviria—a former binge eater turned food freedom coach, body image specialist and registered therapist based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Nic knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle with food and body image, and because she couldn’t find the right support during her healing journey, she became the person she once needed.
Now, Nic helps women all over the world ditch the diet drama, break free from binge eating and embrace body acceptance. Her passion comes from lived experience and her mission is to empower women to heal their relationship with food and themselves without guilt, shame, or restriction.
In this honest and vulnerable conversation, we open up about our own journeys with food, where we are today, and practical tips to help you navigate your own path to food freedom and self love.
It’s time to let go of the rules, the guilt, and the constant battle with food—and step into a life of true freedom.
