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.
Soul & Soma Talk
Your body knows why you’re out of alignment
Wake Up: Your Body Is Talking
Hosted by: Barbara Thompson & Claire Chancellor
If your body could speak, what would it say?
In this powerful second episode of our four part mini series, Claire and I dive deep into the truth about the mind + body connection and how your physical symptoms might actually be emotional messages in disguise.
We explore:
– What the mind + body connection really means (beyond the buzzword)
– How unprocessed emotions and beliefs can become physical symptoms
– Common energetic meanings behind headaches, gut issues, fatigue, and tension
– The signs you’re out of alignment (and probably ignoring it)
– How distraction, avoidance and numbing feed disease
This isn’t just theory. It’s real talk about how your body is always communicating and how learning to listen is the first step to healing.
🎧 Tune in now to Episode 146. This one will land deeply.
