There is a version of you that no longer wants to perform, shrink, or fit into expectations that were never meant for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Amber Jolly to explore what it really means to live authentically, speak up, and take up space without apology.

This conversation moves beyond surface-level confidence and into the real work… the internal shifts required to break free from people-pleasing, navigate fear, and trust yourself in moments of change.

We talk about challenging societal norms, redefining leadership, and building authentic connections that actually support who you are becoming.

If you’ve been doing the work but still feel like you’re holding back in certain areas of your life, this episode will meet you there and move you forward.

About Power and Purpose Podcast

Power and Purpose Podcast with Vanessa Soul

Most people are awake. Few are truly free.

This is the podcast for the ones who refuse to choose between their depth and their ambition. The ones doing the real work... dismantling subconscious conditioning, rebuilding identity from the inside out, and creating a life that actually matches who they are becoming.

Over 160 episodes deep. No filler. No performance. No surface level conversations.

Every week we go into the places most people avoid....shadow work, nervous system healing, conscious business, plant medicine, emotional alchemy, sovereignty, and the astrology that maps it all together. With guests who have walked through the fire and come out transformed, and solo episodes that give you the tools, the timing, and the truth to navigate your own evolution.

Hosted by Vanessa Soul — astrologer, intuitive healer, and purpose coach — this show sits at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern ambition. Vanessa brings mastery in astrology, Human Design, IFS therapy, energetic work, and somatic healing to every conversation, helping conscious leaders and spiritual entrepreneurs step fully into their power, their purpose, and their next level.

This is not self help lite.

This is the conversation that changes you.
