Tom Edmunds arrived in our Soulhub world a few years before he actually arrived. What we mean by that, is we met his mum Deborah back in 2020 just before the pandemic, and then 3 years on, we received the call no mother wants to make. “Help.”

Tom was given a cancer diagnosis out of nowhere. He was experiencing pain, which as we’ve got to know him well, realise that he level of pain management is extremely high so it must have been a strong indicator that something was wrong.

He was told that not only did he have Level 4 Bowel, Liver and Stomach Cancer, but that his life expectancy would be about 6 months. Tom was 39 years old. He has two children, and he was in a fairly new relationship with the love of his life Esme, and she also has 2 children. Many people loved Tom, and as we’ve experienced each day, he touches hundreds of lives and is loved way beyond his immediate circle.

We (Carmen & Andrew) met Tom and Esme for a walk and talk, and shared how we felt we could support them. We gave a wide directory of people and options, and he was quick to say, that we were his team. It was time for him to ‘get some control back’.

Since November 2023, we’ve been Team Tom. This is an unusual ‘Soul Story’ as sharing the experience of someone who’s within our therapeutic care isn’t the normal done thing. But Tom is extraordinary, and how he’s managing himself and his cancer is a story we felt was important to share wider.

Andrew Cuerden is your host, and together with Tom, they explore and cover Tom’s back story and his present day thinking. Why he came to therapy, what he gets from it, and why he’d love more to step on this path to self-understanding.

We have learnt that we can control our thoughts. That we can utilise our mindsets to control certain aspects. I deploy the tools that I have been given.

He’s travelled through a few very-near death experiences, hyperbaric chambers, chemotherapy, sepsis, cancer spreading to his intestines. Perforations, and poo stories are a regular occurrence in his house. He was in a fight (controlled in his favourite gym) weeks after his diagnosis, he’s still working and restoring the family home and making time for his healing and reflections.

Thank you for listening to Tom Edmunds’ Soul Story. This recording is public so feel free to share it with those who you know would appreciate his words

.

Thank you Tom for your continual openness and we hope as listeners you get a real sense of what Tom is experiencing and who he’s becoming as life throws curve balls at him.

To follow Tom's journey, you can see him here on his Instagram @OldTomNewTom and if you'd like to donate to support his charitable fundraising for Phyllis Tuckwell.

We’d love to have you back and go deeper into your experience. Please share in your comments if you’d like to hear more from Tom, and any questions you might like us to ask.

Kenny Mammarella-D’Cruz, fresh from the festive fields of Wales, talks to Carey Davis-Munro about boys, men and much much more…

They look back to how Kenny arrived in the UK, via a Refugee Camp, as his dad, an ‘Enemy of the State’ in Uganda was trying to stay alive. They unpick childhood Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), OCD, dyscalculia and other challenges, and how they’d manifested within Kenny.

What unfolds is a beautiful in-depth conversation about love and how to breathe into feelings and follow them to the ‘broken off” spirited child, to allow the gold to open up. 

Kenny has been holding men’s groups for over 23 years, to provide a place for other men and boys to feel safe to open up. Being in it together in a non-hierarchical way. He acknowledges how people are able show up to tell the truth, as they ‘name it, rather than shame it, or blame it’.

“The deeper I go in myself, the deeper I can go with others, including silently.”

They discuss the differences of how men and women handle life, as well as the need for difference, hormones, roles and our masculine and feminine energies within. How we have each have our own journey’s and how we support each other along the way.

Kenny shares his psychic visitations, how he’s found answers for his own challenges and how he’s had to find acceptance of himself.

We think you’ll love the honesty, the laughter and the beautiful ability to get truthful and raw.

The love of life. There’s a beautiful and tangible thread of love and life, throughout the curious conversation between Pete Warnock and Carey Davis-Munro.

Together they explore how humans tend to look outside for happiness, and how we’re missing the LIFE right in front of or in fact inside us. How what we’re feeling right here and now is life and freedom. Yet we tend to let it go past us.

Pete discovered his sense of life through a lifetime of chronic pain since the age of 5 years old. In his sharing of childhood experiences you’ll understand the man he is today. He reflects on the once ‘bliss baby’ and how lots of things conspired against him from circumcision, being forced to change from left to right handed, ADHD, falling out of several trees, and later followed by the blow of redundancy all left him with negative self-beliefs and loathing, having thoughts of how he could end his life.

“Life for me is meeting and transforming my own suffering, and teaching others how to manage theirs. Suffering is a relationship.”

However, with a strong underlying curiosity of life, and a new emergence he found himself exploring meditation, massage, reiki, thai massage and breathwork. He quickly found a deep capacity to love himself, and his outlook became much more about seeking joy, connection and love, and if other things appear along the way, then he learned to embrace them. Welcoming all feelings without resistance and allowing life to flow.

The birth of his son Josh deepened his exploration of breath and energy, as did his subsequent coming together with Kalindi Jordan - his tantric partner of now 15 years.

It’s a beautiful and insightful podcast, where you also get to sample some insight into Pete’s breathwork and so don’t be surprised if you’re not left curious yourself to how you can find new ways of looking at yourself, your emotions and your breathing.

After all. We are all spiritual….

Dr Robert Owen goes deep into his life and works with Carey Davis-Munro as they share some beautifully intimate moments together on this episode of the Soulhubber’s Podcast.

From a stranded boat in France, to being labelled ‘rotten to the core’ it’s a life of curiosity and experience. He’s extremely passionate about many things in life, from people and planet to Intelligent Ageing, giving back, growing and empathy.

From starting one of the first organic shops in London, writing books, a moderator, creating CPD couples workshops for the Princes Trust, a Trustee for Space2Grieve and a relationship counsellor, his life is certainly full.

They re-visit some childhood memories which have driven him to a place of caring for others, and an early marriage breakdown, swiftly followed by some Jungian Therapy, all set him on the path to become, not a Priest, but a Psychotherapist.

We don’t want to spoilt the surprise, but enjoy his humour, tales, wit and wisdom and take a listen.

To find out more about Dr Robert, either working with him as a couple, finding out more about Intelligent Ageing, or on the Soulhub website.

Andrea Lucas is interviewed by Carey Davis-Munro in a nurturing conversation looking at how Andrea has found security and stability within. Through a dedicated self care journey Andrea discovered that the 'pain' in her right hip was also the gift ....the treasure and the key to standing tall and trusting mother earth to support her. She acknowledges and appreciates her journey from “playing small” as a child into to a place of standing tall and honouring herself in adulthood.

“My self care has been a long journey of regular yoga practice, therapy and supervision for over 30 years.”

Andrea also tells of her discovery of a golden light bodyworker called Lila. Who, with her miraculous hands and wisdom, has helped Andrea become more vulnerable and empowered than ever before.

Her experience and training started 30 years ago in Britains first luxury Spa retreat called Champneys. Her continued fascination and training with the body and psychotherapy fields has led her to deeper understand that the mind and body are one and is now the basis for her work.

Andrea practices both as an integrative psychotherapist and an insightful and intuitive body worker. She weaves a comprehensive range of skills from the mystical to the scientific that promotes holistic wellbeing of mind, body and soul. Her experiential wisdom and compassion enables her to hold sacred, secure and soothing space for people to truly feel held, heard and safe to release their blocked emotions.

Andrea is particularly passionate about supporting woman into their greatness and therefore would like to dedicate this podcast to all the courageous women, including her sister, who dare each day to show up and realise their full potential.

To find out more about Andrea, and book an appointment, you can find her here at the Soulhub website.
