What is Soul to Soul with Gillian McMichael?
Conversations from the heart of the healer’s path.
Hosted by Soul Healer, ICF Master Coach and best-selling author Gillian McMichael, Soul to Soul is a space for the soul-led and the called. For those who feel drawn to heal, to guide others, and to live a life shaped from the inside out.
In each new episode, Gillian sits down, soul to soul, with healers, practitioners and seekers to explore the real journey of stepping into this work. The doubt and the calling. The grief and the awakening. The healing that changes us, and what it truly means to come home to yourself before helping others do the same.
Alongside these conversations, you’ll find Gillian’s earlier episodes exploring healing, self-trust, forgiveness, alignment and the journey back to self - the inner work that forms such an important part of the healer’s path.
Whether you’re already walking this path or simply feeling the first pull towards it, pull up a chair.
These are conversations about healing, becoming, and answering the call.
