Stories from the Soul: Psychic & Spiritual Stories with Barbara D. Hayward

Mt Taranaki Was Waiting for Me I had never seen Mt Taranaki before. I was travelling to New Plymouth to conduct a church service, expecting nothing more than another speaking engagement. Instead, I found myself standing before one of New Zealand's most magnificent mountains... and experiencing something I simply couldn't explain. As I looked towards Mt Taranaki, I was overwhelmed by an intense feeling of anger. It wasn't my anger, yet it was so real that it stopped me in my tracks. Later that evening, I learned about the mountain's history, the conflict, and the loss of life that had unfolded around it. Suddenly, my experience took on an entirely different meaning. But Mt Taranaki wasn't finished with me. As we drove away, the mountain had one final conversation with me... a conversation that has stayed with me for more than thirty years. Looking back now, I realise this wasn't simply my first visit to Mt Taranaki. It was the beginning of a relationship with a mountain that would become one of my greatest teachers. And if you think this is where the story ends... it's only the beginning. Mt Taranaki and I still have many more stories to share.

If you'd told me years ago that I'd one day feel an overwhelming urge to push my two beautiful sons over a ravine, I'd have suggested you needed a good lie down! Yet that's exactly what happened at the Taihape ravine, and it left me with more questions than answers. Years later, a past life regression offered an explanation I never saw coming. Whether you believe in past lives, remain delightfully sceptical, or simply enjoy a good story, come and join me for one of the most extraordinary experiences I've ever had.

Have you ever looked back on an experience and wondered how everything fell into place at exactly the right moment? In this heartfelt conversation, Cindy shares several personal stories that have left her questioning whether there is more at work in our lives than we can see with our physical eyes. From unexpected events to moments of guidance, protection and perfect timing, her experiences invite us to consider the possibility that we are never as alone as we sometimes think. Throughout this episode, we explore those moments that many people have experienced but rarely talk about openly. Was it coincidence? Intuition? A guardian angel? Or perhaps something even more mysterious? As always on Stories from the Soul, this is not about convincing anyone what to believe. It is simply a sharing of real experiences, real questions and real reflections from ordinary people who have encountered extraordinary moments. Whether you are deeply spiritual, quietly curious, or simply enjoy listening to authentic stories, Cindy's experiences may leave you reflecting on the unseen influences that sometimes seem to walk beside us. Join us for a fascinating conversation where the seen and unseen meet, and where every story invites us to wonder just a little more. From the unseen to the seen... until next time. 🌿✨ Barbara D. Hayward Stories from the Soul

Two moments in my life changed the way I understood protection from the Unseen forever. In this deeply personal episode of Stories from the Soul, I share the night I encountered what I believe were my baby’s Guardian Angels… and another terrifying moment when my car lost control on the road and something impossible happened. To this day, I believe an unseen hand lifted that car and placed it safely back on the road. No preaching. No fluff. Just two real experiences that still live in my heart decades later.   If you would like to share your stories with me please send them to..... [email protected]

Some people spend their lives watching other people’s movies unfold. Some become the supporting actor in someone else’s dream. And then there are those rare moments in life when Spirit quietly whispers… “Go make your own movie.” This episode came from one of the most extraordinary spiritual evenings I have ever experienced. What began as a simple night unfolded into deep conversations, unexpected insights, laughter, and one powerful life lesson from “my people” that stopped me in my tracks. It made me realise how many of us wait on the sidelines of our own lives. This is a story about dreams, choices, courage, and the unseen moments that quietly change the direction of who we become.

Spiritual awakening, psychic experiences, the unseen realm, soul connection, intuitive knowing… not exactly what you expect from a war story. In this episode of Stories from the Soul, Barb sits down with Marie Bailey to talk about her time in Afghanistan with the Canadian Armed Forces… and what showed up that no one briefs you for. Because alongside the structure, discipline, and intensity of military life… something else was there. Moments that didn’t make sense. Feelings that didn’t belong to logic. And experiences that didn’t stay behind when she came home. This is real talk about the unseen walking right beside you… even in a war zone. No fluff. No spiritual performance. Just honest conversation about what happens when life cracks open… and something deeper steps in. Some stories don’t end where they happen… they follow you home.

The Big Global Shift, spiritual awakening, psychic awakening, energy shift, consciousness shift, and the unseen world… call it what you like, but something is moving — and people are feeling it whether they understand it or not. Hi everyone, Barb here… good to have you here. This one’s a bit of a twist. I was invited to speak at a Global Healing Summit… and instead of me doing the interviewing, they turned the spotlight straight back on me. And we didn’t stay on the surface. We went into what’s actually going on. Why so many people are waking up all at once… Why things that used to feel solid don’t anymore… And why the “normal” world is starting to feel a bit… off. I talk about what I’ve seen over 40+ years — not borrowed ideas, not dressed-up spirituality… lived experience. From the shifts in the 1960s, through the 1990s, into the 11:11 convergence… and what people now call fourth dimension energy. But here’s the part most people miss… This shift isn’t here to make you comfortable. It’s here to wake you up. And once you see it… you don’t unsee it. So if something in you has been nudging, rattling, or quietly saying “there’s more going on here…” You’re not losing it. You’re waking up. Come and have a listen.

Let’s be honest… if someone told you they had a conversation with a pine tree, you’d probably raise an eyebrow. That’s fine. You wouldn’t be the first. In this episode, I share what happened when I found myself standing in front of a pine tree… with no cones anywhere in sight. None. Not hidden, not fallen… just not there. So I asked. Because after 40+ years of working with the unseen, I’ve learned something simple: if you don’t ask, you don’t get. What happened next wasn’t subtle, and it certainly wasn’t coincidence. Now, you can explain it however you like… or not at all. I’m not here to convince you. But if you’ve ever had a moment where life responded in a way that made you stop and think, “Hang on…” then you’re already closer to understanding this than you realise. — Barb  https://theoldgirlspiritualstuff.com/offerings for readings [email protected] ...send me your stories.      

This is not just a podcast… it’s a doorway. In Stories from the Soul, Barb shares real-life psychic experiences, spiritual encounters, and the wisdom of a 43-year journey walking between worlds. From intuitive knowing to conversations with the unseen, these are not stories borrowed from books… they are lived, breathed, and experienced. With honesty, humour, and a touch of sass, Barb invites you into a space where intuition is normal, energy is real, and your experiences are valid. To hear the unseen… and to see the unheard. Welcome to the conversation you didn’t know you were already part of.

What happens when you don’t just walk past a tree… but actually speak to it? In this episode of Stories from the Soul, I share real experiences of connecting with nature in a way most people never stop long enough to consider. From asking a pine tree about its missing cones… to witnessing what can only be described as a response… this is where the line between the seen and unseen begins to blur. This isn’t imagination. This is relationship. I talk about what it means to communicate with the natural world, to listen differently, and to trust what you feel when something responds in its own quiet, powerful way. Because nature is not separate from us… it’s aware, responsive, and far more connected than we’ve been taught.  And where the Unseen becomes Seen You may never look at a tree the same way again.   Connect with Barbara D.

This is where my conscious spiritual journey truly began… back in 1983. In this episode of Stories from the Soul, I share how I met my teacher Krystal, and the unexpected path that unfolded as I was introduced to “My People,” the Universe, and a much deeper understanding of God. The first five years weren’t about doing… they were about learning to listen, trust, and build a real partnership with the unseen. This isn’t polished… it’s real. The beginning of learning to hear the unseen… and to see the unheard.   Connect with Barbara D.
