Sensitive Souls Podcast

Quel and Rose are two friends who both identify as "sensitive souls" and use introspection to navigate through life. With this podcast (formerly known as the coffeeshop chronicles) they take their regular conversations exploring life, wellbeing and personal development from the coffee shop to you with an impromptu chat. The term "sensitive souls" materialised as a definition for our safe space of meaningful discussion on themes centring human behaviour, emotional wellbeing, mental health, spirituality and social issues. During these discussions we were able to uncover self-realisations and promote mental wellbeing and growth within our own lives, now we share these insights via a podcast with the hopes of benefitting others. Join our amateur therapy sessions where we explore our place in society and enlighten each other along the way
