    ✨ Claire and Nic welcome psychic medium and business psychic coach Katie Helliwell, who shares how she’s been gifted since childhood and now helps clients go beyond readings by seeing their “2.0” potential and practical pathways for growth. We discuss burnout, rushing, and how slowing down can reveal true soul purpose, shifting from “prove it” energy and scarcity into alignment, presence, and trust. 🌙 Katie explains surrender as stillness, acceptance, and boundaries, and suggests pausing when obstacles repeatedly appear, asking the body what it needs, and working with spirit guides through specific, purpose-led requests.

    Gut Health, Functional Medicine & Food as Medicine with Sarah Griffiths | The Souls Podcast

    ✨In this episode, Sarah Griffiths discusses functional medicine as a whole-body, root-cause approach that looks beyond basic nutrition to the gut microbiome, inflammation, organ function, and nutrient deficiencies before building a plan. The conversation covers how gut health can affect mood, sleep, skin, hormones, and chronic issues, and critiques overreliance on medications, unregulated supplements, influencer advice, and non-evidence-based testing. 🌙 Sarah explains her lab-accredited stool microbiome and blood-based food intolerance testing, the importance of scientific backing and practitioner support, and why generic elimination diets can be harmful without proper replacements. She shares examples involving eczema/TSW, antibiotics reducing beneficial bacteria, fasting and detox protocols, and emphasises simple, fiber-rich eating, full-fat choices over added sugar, and realistic consistency over perfection. 🎧 About The Souls Podcast The Souls Podcast is a space for deep conversations on spirituality, healing, consciousness, manifestation, and personal growth — hosted by Claire and Nic. 00:00 Meet Sarah Griffiths 00:22 Functional Medicine Basics 01:43 Root Cause Over Pills 04:15 Mood Gut Connection 12:15 Testing Versus Guesswork 13:27 Lab Backed Pricing 17:42 Influencers And Misinformation 19:12 Pathogens Detox Protocols 22:40 Old School Eating 24:17 Simple Gut Friendly Diet 29:43 Oils Sugar And Full Fat 32:24 Personalised Plans 34:07 Client Support And Reports 34:53 Skinny Pens And Gut Damage 38:17 Bodybuilding And Starvation Lessons 39:09 Healing Timeline And 80 20 Rule 43:22 Food Intolerance Pitfalls 45:44 Fasting And Parasite Cleanses 48:30 Caffeine And Sugar Addictions 51:53 Late Night Cravings And Insulin 56:08 Collaboration And Influencer Drama 01:01:24 Online Trolling And Wrap Up

She outlines diagnostic tracking over three months and treatment options ranging from contraception and SSRIs to hysterectomy, and directs listeners to “PMDD Northwest” on Instagram for events and peer support. 🎧 About The Souls Podcast The Souls Podcast is a space for deep conversations on spirituality, healing, consciousness, manifestation, and personal growth — hosted by Claire and Nic.

    Somatic Therapy for Grief & Burnout with Phoebe Greenacre | The Souls Podcast

    ✨ This episode we interview Phoebe Greenacre, a Bali-based somatic therapist and nervous system coach, about her path from 10 years in corporate marketing and repeated burnout to yoga teaching, entrepreneurship, and supporting women (especially mothers) with nervous system regulation and generational trauma healing. We discuss grief after losing a parent, how it reshapes identity, and how grief can ebb and flow through everyday moments, alongside the added complexity of reparenting while parenting. 🌙Phoebe explains somatics as a bottom-up mind body approach that locates emotions as sensations in the body, contrasts it with talk therapy, and describes how layered, unprocessed emotions can surface as anger or anxiety. She shares practical strategies like scheduling rest first, “micro-mum moments,” and using yin yoga and conscious connected breathwork to access deeper release, including how yin targets fascia and meridians linked to emotions. 🎧 About The Souls Podcast The Souls Podcast is a space for deep conversations on spirituality, healing, consciousness, manifestation, and personal growth — hosted by Claire and Nic.

    Somatic Trauma Release, Kundalini Energy & Tantric Healing with Vadim Borisov | The Souls Podcast

    ✨ In this episode, we interview Vadim, a board-certified psychologist and founder of Neuro Wave Therapy, about his background in body-based healing and how his method uses light touch to activate sensations, reflexes, shaking, and emotional release. 🌙Vadim explains that these “vibrations” can reveal body-held memories connected to past experiences, sometimes expressed as crying, pleasure, or orgasmic-like waves, and compares aspects of his work to Kundalini activation and tantra while emphasizing intentional therapeutic guidance and personal energetic independence. He discusses energy centers/chakras (including a three-center Tao framing), how trauma can create numbness or stiffness, and how retreats and sessions aim to help clients reconnect with body signals to make clearer life decisions. 🎧 About The Souls Podcast The Souls Podcast is a space for deep conversations on spirituality, healing, consciousness, manifestation, and personal growth — hosted by Claire and Nic.

    Mindful Parenting in a Modern World with Sarah Allan | The Souls Podcast

    ✨ In this episode, we interview Sarah Allan, founder of Mindful Parent Club, about supporting children’s mental health by focusing first on the parent’s emotional regulation, self-awareness, stress response, and attachment story. Sarah explains that there is no single “right” way to parent, warns against information overload and stigma around parenting support, and shares that the strongest protective factor for lifelong wellbeing is the quality of the early parent-child relationship; she notes UK stats that 1 in 6 children are diagnosed with a mental health difficulty. 🌙 We discuss co-sleeping as co-regulation, developmental differences (including bedwetting), behavior as communication and lagging skills rather than “naughtiness,” why children aren’t truly manipulative due to brain development, teen behaviour and “connect before correct,” boundaries versus permissiveness, “spoiled” labels, screens and online safety, and Sarah’s three tips: start with regulating yourself, lead with connection, and prioritise regulation for both parent and child. 🎧 About The Souls Podcast The Souls Podcast is a space for deep conversations on spirituality, healing, consciousness, manifestation, and personal growth — hosted by Claire and Nic.
