What is Soul Medicine with Carina Bull?
You might think you need more clarity.
But most women already know what they feel.
They’ve just spent years overriding themselves to survive.
Hi, I’m Carina Bull - trauma-aware facilitator, intuitive mentor, and professional pattern interrupter apparently 😅.
I help emotionally exhausted women recognise the survival patterns underneath over-functioning, hyper-vigilance, people-pleasing, emotional labour, and self-abandonment… so they can reconnect with who they were before survival taught them who they had to be.
Soul Medicine is a podcast about the emotional truths many women quietly live inside:
→ burnout,
→ resentment,
→ identity loss,
→ nervous system exhaustion,
→ relationship patterns,
and the invisible weight of always being “the strong one.”
No fluffy wellness advice.
No performative positivity.
Just honest conversations, nervous system awareness, emotional truth-telling, and the kind of pattern recognition that makes women stop and think:
“…oh shit. That’s actually me.”
Welcome to Soul Medicine.
