Julia describes falling in love with Ashtanga, working for eight years running 200- and 300-hour trainings and yoga holidays, and how the physical practice supports stilling the mind, building discipline, and improving daily focus.

🌙They compare immersive three-week trainings in Goa with weekend trainings in Liverpool, and Julia explains how Liverpool teacher training began during lockdown.

✨ 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. The conversation covers money as neutral energy, intention-setting across businesses, seasons of change, home-life boundaries, and keeping loved ones’ presence close, with Katie advising that purpose can’t be found in chaos and may require resetting life first.

✨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.

✨In this episode, Rachel Bertenshaw shares her lived experience of PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and explains why she created a peer-led PMDD community in the UK Northwest to address the lack of post-diagnostic support. She describes PMDD as a cyclical mood disorder and disability that can severely disrupt work, relationships, and daily functioning, often worsening from ovulation to menstruation, and details symptoms including rage, agitation, brain fog, overstimulation, swelling, bowel issues, heavy periods, and suicidal thoughts.

🌙Rachel discusses frequent misdiagnosis (e.g., bipolar disorder), underfunding and limited research in women’s health, possible sensitivity to hormone fluctuations, and links with ADHD. 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.

✨ 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.

✨ 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.

✨ 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.

🌙They unpack Claire’s recent online session, exploring childhood regression, recurring snake dreams and phobias, and vivid imagery of past-life scenes including medieval London, holistic healing practices, persecution, and throat/voice clearing. Jonathan explains “root cause” spiritual healing, how fears and trauma can carry over, why children may recall early memories or past lives, and what déjà vu can signify. The conversation also covers performance visualization in sports, a brief guided lemon suggestibility exercise, and where to find Jonathan’s sessions, trainings, and upcoming app.

✨Nic and Claire catch up on the past few months of growth since changing studios, rebranding, and leaning into a more controversial niche, which boosted engagement and followers but also brought trolling and the stress of losing their social media page before recovering it through legal letters.

🌙 We reflect on how recent guests and evidence-based discussions have helped them implement mindset, self-awareness, structure, and holistic practices in their own lives, including exploring ADHD traits, abundance as a feeling, discipline as self-love, and focusing on the journey rather than a fixed destination. They discuss breaking habits, avoiding comparison, curating environments, using free tools like podcasts, libraries, and ChatGPT, and balancing professionalism with spirituality, while sharing excitement about upcoming guests, including a past-life regression practitioner and growing interest from international contacts.

Dropping Out of Survival Mode & Into the Feminine.

In this heartfelt conversation, hosts Claire and Nic sit down with feminine energy mentor Suzie Elizabeth for a discussion that unexpectedly turns deeply personal.

As Suzie speaks about the nervous system’s need for safety and how so many women unknowingly live in a constant state of vigilance, something inside Nic cracks open. What begins as a thoughtful dialogue shifts into a raw emotional release.

Nic’s voice trembles as she admits:
“I’ve been in survival mode for so long… I don’t even know what it feels like to soften. I don’t know how to let myself be held.”

Tears spill over as she confesses the grief she carries — the grief of a woman who learned to be strong because she never felt she had a choice.
Suzie gently guides her through the moment, reminding her that the feminine cannot flourish in fear, and that softness is not weakness but permission.

Claire reaches for Nic’s hand, grounding the space, holding compassion without trying to fix anything. 

Together, the three women explore:

What it truly means to “drop into” feminine energy
Why survival mode becomes an identity for so many
How the body must feel safe before the heart can open

Small, real steps toward reclaiming softness and receptivity

By the end of the conversation, Nic is still tender, but lighter, as if naming the pain loosened its grip.

This episode becomes not just a conversation, but a lived moment of healing, modelling what it looks like when women hold each other through vulnerability and return to themselves.

✨  In this episode, Claire and Nic interview Amy Burke, a beauty-industry educator and breast cancer survivor diagnosed in May 2023 at age 33. Amy shares how she discovered a hard lump while working in her salon, was urged by a nurse client to call the GP, and was quickly referred through the NHS to the breast clinic for scans and biopsies. 

🌙 Amy outlines her treatment path: five months of initial chemotherapy (including an allergic reaction and use of a minus-30°C cold cap that helped her keep most of her hair), a left mastectomy with an expander, 15 rounds of radiotherapy, and then additional longer-term treatments including further chemo rounds and monthly injections, along with being medically put into menopause. She explains practical steps she took to reduce hair loss (not washing hair for months, limited brushing, silk pillowcase, avoiding heat, using wigs, and natural hair dye), and how exercise and maintaining normal routines supported her mindset.

This week, the girls are back with fresh renovations, glowing skin, and plenty to talk about. From skincare prep routines and powerful peels to their go-to products, the chat quickly turns to the viral Bonnie Blue documentary — sparking a deep dive into modern dating culture, blurred gender dynamics, and why respect seems in short supply these days.

That leads them into Love Island territory, unpacking this season’s biggest dramas, the questionable behaviour of some contestants, and why one finalist stood out for all the right reasons.

The conversation then shifts to wellness — specifically the hype (and hazards) of weight-loss injections like Ozempic. With one host speaking from the perspective of a qualified prescriber who’s tried it purely to understand side effects, they stress safety, CQC compliance, and avoiding dangerous black-market products. Both agree that for them, nothing beats the lasting benefits of healthy eating, vitamins, yoga, and their mutual obsession: Pilates.

From the physical and mental transformation Pilates brings, to buying at-home reformers (including the legendary Aldi find), they share why it’s become more than just exercise — it’s a practice rooted in feeling good, not chasing an image.

Equal parts beauty talk, wellness wisdom, and cultural commentary, this episode blends laughs, honesty, and heartfelt reflection in classic Souls Pod style.

This week, the girls dive deep into beauty, wellness, and all things woo. From spending £100k on your face to face-flooding TikTok trends, celebrity influence (hello, Pamela Anderson & Skims), and whether AI is taking over the modelling world — nothing’s off-limits.

They also get spiritual, talking tarot, dreams, psychic readings, and intuition — plus a potential guest appearance from The Witchist, who’s blowing up online for her wild exorcism content.

All wrapped up with chats about crystals, supplements, sage, and whether your next career move might just be reading cards in your own clinic. It’s soulful, funny, and a bit witchy… the way we like it.
