Soul to Self™ The Inner Compass

About Soul to Self™ The Inner Compass

Soul to Self® is for women who have spent so long coping, caring, achieving or being who life needed them to be that somewhere along the way, they’ve lost touch with themselves. Hosted by holistic therapist and Soul Mentor Victoria Browne, the podcast explores the experiences that shape who we become: identity, burnout, relationships, boundaries, purpose, spirituality, change and those messy in-between seasons when you know something needs to shift, but you’re not quite sure what comes next. Through Soul to Self® Conversations, you’ll hear honest stories from women who have lived through change, challenge and becoming. In Soul to Self® Notes, Victoria takes the conversation a little deeper exploring the patterns, questions and ideas that may help you understand your own experience differently. And through Soul to Self® Practices, you’ll find in the show notes simple ways to pause, reconnect and bring what you’re discovering back into everyday life. There are no perfect answers here, and no one version of what healing, growth or a meaningful life should look like. Just real stories, thoughtful conversations and space to get curious about who you are now and who you might be becoming. Come for a walk. Bring a cuppa. Let’s come home to ourselves.

   The Cost of Success: Ambition, Identity and Knowing When Enough Is Enough with Trina Kavanagh-Thomas

   Soul to Self® Podcastathon 2026 | Supporting Hopefull Handbags We spend a lot of time talking about success. The goals we're working towards, the businesses we're building, the qualifications we're gaining and the things we hope to achieve. But how often do we stop to consider what success might actually be costing us? In the final conversation of the Soul to Self® Podcastathon, I'm joined by Trina Kavanagh-Thomas, host of The Personal Energy Podcast, for an honest, thought-provoking discussion about ambition, identity and the personal cost of pursuing success. We begin by exploring the financial and emotional investment involved in building a business, including the pressure to join the right groups, invest in the right programmes and be seen in the right rooms. But our conversation soon moves into something deeper. Trina shares her experiences of building a successful business, recognising when an approach no longer fits, and making the difficult decision to step away from a degree she'd been pursuing. We also explore what happens when our ambitions are influenced by other people's expectations, how changing direction can affect friendships and relationships, and why reaching a goal doesn't necessarily mean our desire to grow disappears. Along the way, we talk openly about loneliness, emotional wellbeing and the importance of appropriate support when life's changes become difficult to navigate. And we finish with a question that feels particularly fitting for the end of the Podcastathon: How do we decide what success is worth to us? In this conversation, we explore: The financial and emotional costs of building a business. Recognising the difference between a meaningful investment and one driven by fear of missing out. Why the right opportunity for someone else might not be right for us. The pressure to look successful before we've decided what success means. Trina's experience of questioning her reasons for continuing a degree. How overcommitment and constant pressure can affect our wellbeing and relationships. Navigating changes in friendships, identity and belonging as our lives evolve. The difference between feeling successful and still having ambition. Recognising when we're pursuing something because we want it, rather than because we hope it will earn us approval. Meet Trina Kavanagh-Thomas Trina Kavanagh-Thomas is a personal energy practitioner and host of The Personal Energy Podcast. Drawing on her experiences in business, personal development and navigating significant life changes, Trina explores the relationship between personal energy, decision-making, ambition and wellbeing. Her approach encourages people to become more aware of the motivations behind their choices, recognise when familiar patterns no longer serve them and consider what success means in their own lives.

   Taking Control of Your Money Without Living in Fear with Suse Moore

   Soul to Self® Podcastathon 2026 | Supporting Hopefull Handbags Have you ever looked at the total at the supermarket checkout and wondered how you've managed to spend quite so much? Or noticed yourself becoming increasingly anxious about energy bills, fuel prices or what the next unexpected expense might be? When everyday costs keep changing, money can become something we're thinking about far more often than we'd like. In this special Soul to Self® Podcastathon conversation, I'm joined by Suse Moore to explore the cost of living, financial confidence and the importance of understanding what's happening with our money before we reach a crisis point. Suse shares how she and her husband were forced to reconsider their approach to money when they both lost their jobs within two months of each other, and how that experience changed the way she thinks about spending, planning and financial security. We also talk about the emotional side of managing money, from the overwhelm that can lead us to avoid looking at our finances to the fear that can remain after experiencing unexpected debt. And Suse shares an honest admission about losing track of her own financial routines during a particularly overwhelming period, reminding us that knowing what to do doesn't mean we always find it easy. In this conversation, we explore: How rising everyday costs can affect our sense of security. Suse's experience of redundancy and learning to manage money differently. Why we sometimes avoid looking at our finances when life feels overwhelming. The importance of financial independence and knowing where we stand. How small spending habits can become easier to recognise when we pay attention. Three practical starting points: tracking spending, reviewing household bills and exploring discounts or cashback. The difference between feeling informed about money and being consumed by worry. Why financial awareness can matter particularly during major life changes. Meet Suse Moore Suse is passionate about helping people become more confident and involved in managing their everyday finances. Drawing on her own family's experiences of redundancy, self-employment and changing financial circumstances, she encourages people to develop practical habits around spending, budgeting and understanding their household bills. Her approach focuses on taking manageable steps and becoming more aware of the choices available, rather than waiting until financial pressures reach a crisis point.

   Worthy of Time for Yourself: Mum Guilt, Self-Care and Knowing You Matter

   With Vikki Overend, Emma McCabe and Amy Nutton | Soul to Self® Podcastathon 2026 When did taking a little time for ourselves become something we feel guilty about? For so many women, particularly mums, looking after everyone else can become second nature. We juggle the family, the work, the responsibilities and all those little things that somehow become ours to manage. And somewhere along the way, our own needs find their way to the bottom of the list. In this special Podcastathon conversation, I'm joined by Vikki Overend, Emma McCabe and Amy, the women behind Worthy Of, to explore mum guilt, burnout and the importance of remembering that we matter too. All three women share their experiences of putting others first, reaching burnout and discovering that self-care doesn't have to mean expensive spa days or hours of uninterrupted time. Sometimes it's ten minutes in the garden with a coffee, a walk without your phone, or simply allowing yourself to say, "I need a moment." We also explore the importance of showing our children that their feelings and boundaries matter, the confidence that can grow from small acts of self-care, and how the women have built a supportive community around their business. It's a warm, honest conversation about making room for ourselves in the middle of real life, even when we don't always get it right. In this conversation, we explore: Why mum guilt can make self-care feel selfish. The experience of burnout and constantly putting other people first. How our sense of worth can become tied to being needed and helpful. The difference between expensive, occasional treats and everyday self-care. Why small moments of care can have a meaningful impact. Learning to say no and communicate our needs without guilt. Modelling healthy boundaries and emotional honesty for our children. Building confidence through community, encouragement and small personal achievements. Meet the Worthy Of ladies Worthy Of is a business created by Vikki Overend, Emma McCabe and Amy Nutton, three women who believe everyone deserves to feel worthy of care, attention and a little time for themselves. Their range of easy-to-apply nail wraps is designed to make a simple manicure accessible at home, without needing hours of spare time or an expensive salon appointment. But for these three women, Worthy Of is about more than nails. Through their products, small self-care gifts and supportive customer community, they hope to encourage women to make a little more room for themselves in everyday life.
