Mt Taranaki Was Waiting for Me

Mt Taranaki Was Waiting for Me

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.

When Spirit Steps In: Cindy's Extraordinary Experiences of Protection

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.

A Hand on the Road… and Angels in the Room

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..... Angelsstories4all25@gmail.com

Go Make Your Own Movie..... A Stories from the Soul Philosophy Episode

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.

“The Unseen in a War Zone: A Soldier’s Spiritual Story from Afghanistan”

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.
