Stories from the Soul: Psychic & Spiritual Stories with Barbara D. Hayward
Stories from the Soul: Psychic & Spiritual Stories with Barbara D. Hayward
From radio waves to spirit waves… Barb has been tuning in long before Wi-Fi was a thing.
Real life. Real spirit. No fluff… and a little laughter.
Welcome to Stories from the Soul — a spiritual podcast sharing real psychic experiences, honest spiritual encounters, and insight from a lifelong clairvoyant medium working with soul and energy.
What really happens when you don’t just learn spirituality… but live it, every single day, for over 43 years?
Some people wonder if the psychic world is real…
Barb has spent a lifetime in conversation with it — and yes, sometimes it answers back with better timing than most people.
And no… you don’t need to wear crystals on your forehead to understand it.
Hosted by Barbara D. Hayward, a clairvoyant medium who has worked across New Zealand and Australia, this podcast shares powerful stories from years of psychic readings, guidance, and connection with spirit.
Barb brings more than experience — she brings a life immersed in this work. She hosted her own radio show for three years as a clairvoyant, speaking with over 35,000 listeners and answering thousands of real questions… sharing grounded spiritual insight in a way that felt real, honest… and occasionally made people laugh when they weren’t expecting to.
She is also the author of Letters from Grandma: The Life and Memoirs of a Medium Clairvoyant, and at times you’ll hear her read directly from its pages — stories, reflections, and moments that carry the kind of wisdom that tends to arrive exactly when you need it… not always when you asked for it.
And every now and then… Barb opens a quieter door.
These are the stories she calls “For My Eyes Only” — deeply personal, sacred experiences gifted to her over the years. They are not shared to teach or explain… only to be honoured.
Inside each episode, you’ll hear:
• Real psychic experiences that changed everything
• Spiritual awakening, intuition, energy, and manifestation woven through everyday life
• Practical spiritual insights you can actually use (no chanting required… unless you want to)
• Stories that make you feel, reflect, and sometimes laugh at how life actually works
• The unexpected humour and wisdom of the spirit world
• Honest conversations about the soul’s journey and what it really means to live a spiritual life
Barb is known for her direct, down-to-earth approach. She meets life head-on, speaks truthfully, and brings spirituality into a space that feels accessible, relatable, and real — whether you’re new to the psychic world or already deep into your own spiritual awakening.
She works closely with her guides and helpers — “her people” — who, as it turns out, have a sense of humour of their own.
If you’ve ever felt something you couldn’t explain… you’re probably not as “off track” as you think.
This isn’t learned spirituality.
This is lived experience.
Because what if life is speaking to you…
more than you realise?
Come and listen.
If you’re here… you’re already tuned in.

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. HaywardStories 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.

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.

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.

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.

This is where it all begins.
In this opening episode of Stories from the Soul, Barb shares the doorway into her world as a lifelong clairvoyant medium with over 40 years of lived spiritual experience. This isn’t theory, and it’s not polished perfection… this is real life, real spirit, and the moments that shaped a journey of hearing the unseen and seeing the unheard.
With warmth, honesty, and a touch of humour, Barb invites you into the unseen spaces that exist alongside everyday life. If you’ve ever felt something you couldn’t explain… you’re not alone anymore.
