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.

Founder of Diary Dolls | Stella Beckett
In this deeply heartfelt episode I’m joined by Stella Beckett, founder of Diary Dolls — forever friends for little ladies. Stella has just been recognised at the Gold Coast Women of the Year Awards, winning her category for the beautiful work she is doing in emotional development and early confidence building. This conversation is one that will stay with you.
Stella opens up about her upbringing, how it shaped her sense of worth and love and the ripple effects it carried into adulthood through people pleasing, self doubt and always putting herself last. She shares the moment everything shifted, the moment she realised something had to change and began her own healing journey.
Together we explore:
Self love & self worth
The science of early development
The birth of Diary Dolls
Connection, co regulation & healing together
Stella’s mission, her vision and the heart behind her work
