Less Small talk. More Soul Talk. Welcome to SolFul Connections, the podcast where Amanda Soler sits down for real conversations with real people: artists, dreamers, healers, and doers to explore the deeper stories that shape who we are. These conversations go beyond the surface into the moments that stretch us, surprise us, and show us what it means to live with intention, creativity, courage, and joy. Expect a blend of insight, laughter, vulnerability, and maybe a tangent or two. This is where life's mess meets its meaning. And one way to connect the dots is to hear someone else's story.

    From Surviving to Thriving: Kellyl Bradford's Journey Through Change

    In this episode of SolFul Connections, Amanda connects with Kelly Bradford, founder of Butterfly Tribe Life and author of Women Thriving Through Change. Kelly shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her work, how life’s challenges, painful chapters, and unexpected turns became the catalyst for her evolution. Together, we explore what it really means to move from simply surviving to thriving. Kelly opens up about the moments that forced her to look inward, rethink how she saw herself, and release the pressure to impress others or live up to expectations that were never truly hers. We also talk about something many of us quietly wrestle with: the illusion that everyone else has it all together. The truth is, none of us can see another person’s interior world—the fears, doubts, healing, and growth that happen behind the scenes. When we remember that, it becomes easier to offer ourselves compassion and step more fully into our own lives. This conversation is about evolution, honesty, and the courage it takes to become who you’re meant to be.

    When Life Rewrites the Equation: Colleen Clemens on Fertility, Resilience, and Becoming a Mother

    In this deeply honest conversation, Amanda sits connects with author and educator Colleen Clemens to talk about her powerful memoir, E=mc², an unflinching look at her long and emotionally complex journey through infertility and the road to motherhood. Colleen shares what it was like to live through a process that was physically demanding and emotionally raw, and why she chose to write about it with such candor. Rather than smoothing over the difficult moments, she invites readers and listeners into the full truth of the experience. But this conversation moves beyond fertility. Amanda and Colleen explore the deeper questions that arise when life doesn’t unfold the way we expect: How do we show up when we’re hurting? What does resilience actually look like in real life? How can we still choose joy and meaning, even during our hardest seasons? They also reflect on the pressures young people face today, the importance of honest storytelling, and how living authentically can help us navigate life’s uncertainty. This episode is a reminder that even in life’s most difficult chapters, there is power in telling the truth of our stories, and in choosing, day by day, how we want to live.

    Beyond the Go-Giver: A Conversation with Bob Burg

    On this episode of SolFul Connections, I connect with Bob Burg, bestselling co-author of The Go-Giver (with John David Mann) and author of Endless Referrals. I originally reached out to Bob because listeners of this podcast kept referencing The Go-Giver. What I didn’t expect was to discover a prolific author, a voracious reader, a global keynote speaker, and someone deeply thoughtful about influence, service, and personal growth. Bob has addressed audiences of 50 to 16,000 people around the world, sharing stages with top thought leaders, Olympic athletes, broadcast personalities, and even a former United States President. Yet what struck me most in our conversation was not the scale of his impact, but the steadiness behind it. In this episode, we explore: Why The Go-Giver continues to resonate years after publication The deeper meaning behind influence and generosity The principle that is hardest to practice What success looks like beyond transactions How reading and self-education continue to shape Bob’s life What fulfillment really means This conversation inspired me to recommit to my own self-education and to remember that true success is relational, not transactional. If you’ve ever wondered how to build influence without losing yourself… this one is for you.For more: burg.com & thegogiver.com
