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.

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.

Talking to trees? Yes. Getting one to release its roots? Even better.
In this episode of Stories from the Soul, Barb shares a real-life psychic and spiritual experience where she didn’t just move a tree… she asked it. And the tree listened.
This is what happens when you truly understand energy, intuition, and communication beyond the physical world. No fluff. No pretending. Just 43 years of lived spiritual practice doing what it does best.
So before you roll your eyes and scroll on… maybe ask yourself this:
What if the world is listening more than you think?
Connect with Barbara D. Hayward:
Well… this didn’t start last week.
This is Barb’s beginning… back in 1983, when life quietly said, “Right, we’re doing this now,” and nothing was ever quite the same again. With her teacher Krystal guiding the way, Barb spent years learning how to work with “My People,” trust the Universe, and build a relationship with God that was anything but ordinary.
No fluff. No pretending. Just real, lived spiritual experience.
This is where she began to hear the unseen… and see the unheard.
And fair warning… once you step into this world, things have a habit of making a lot more sense.

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.
