    #188: What If Your Animal Is Trying to Tell You Something? with Dr. Allecia Maine

She describes his personality, identifies tension around his shoulder blades, connects it with his habit of jumping from my unusually high bed, and performs a long distance fascia release while we continue talking.This conversation invites us to become more curious about what our animals may already be communicating.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Episode Preview 00:45 Welcome to the Power & Purpose Podcast 02:51 Allecia’s Journey Into Energy Work 05:36 Dolphins, Qigong, and Discovering Telepathy 08:16 When Animals Communicate What Humans Cannot See 11:43 How Animal Telepathy Works 14:23 Why Allecia Believes Fascia Receives Information 17:47 Animals as Our Teachers 18:32 The Dog Who Did Not Have a Behavior Problem 25:06 What a Horse Revealed About His Human 31:32 Veterinary Care, Fascia, and Unexplained Symptoms 34:14 Charlie Joins the Conversation 35:58 What Charlie Communicates to Allecia 41:48 Allecia Works With Charlie in Real Time 43:55 How to Connect With Dr. Allecia MaineCONNECT WITH DR.

We explore how these three centers work together, why leaders become disconnected from themselves, how self sacrifice contributes to burnout, and why true embodiment can require profound identity shifts.

    Episode 183 The Architecture of Breakthrough: Reprogramming Your Self Image with Mariko Fujimura WATCH THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE here https://youtu.be/DxfgRYI5a3U What if the person you think you are is actually who you were programmed to become? Your self image shapes what you believe is possible. Your subconscious programming influences how you show up. And sometimes the life that looks right on the outside is completely misaligned with who you actually are. In this episode of the Power & Purpose Podcast, Vanessa Soul sits down with mindset and self image coach Mariko Fujimura, founder of Kiseki Institute, to explore identity, subconscious programming, authentic alignment, and what it really takes to create a breakthrough from the inside out. We talk about breaking inherited patterns, navigating the discomfort of becoming someone new, releasing hustle and force, and learning to create from a deeper place of alignment. If this conversation speaks to you, share it with someone who may be ready to break their own programming. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Episode Preview 01:02 Meet Mariko Fujimura 02:41 Who Are You and Who Are You Not? 04:25 The Missing Piece Behind Real Transformation 06:20 Self Image, Conditioning & the Authentic Self 13:56 What Happens When You Change Your Identity 15:56 How Subconscious Programming Fights Change 21:23 You Have the Power to Change Your Programming 29:21 What a Real Breakthrough Actually Looks Like 31:36 Stop Creating Through Hustle and Force 34:17 Why Your Soul Needs Space 35:07 The Question to Ask When You Feel Stuck CONNECT WITH MARIKO FUJIMURA Website: https://www.kiseki-institute.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manifestwithmariko/ Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/academyofmanifestation LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariko-fujimura-322a38199/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@marikofujimura TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marikokiseki Connect with Vanessa Soul Website https://vanessasoul.com/theempire Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vanessaasoul/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/vanessa.spiva.9 Podcast https://podcast.ausha.co/power-and-purpose-podcast Hosted on Ausha.

    #182: The Reinvention Trap: Why Starting Over Isn't Always the Answer with Jack Maged

    In this episode of the Power & Purpose Podcast, Vanessa Soul sits down with Jack Maged, founder of Finding Next, for a powerful conversation about why reinvention isn’t always the answer. We’re often told that when we feel stuck, disconnected, or ready for something new, we need to start over. New career. New identity. New brand. New direction. Jack offers a completely different perspective: Maybe you don’t need reinvention. Maybe you need recognition. Your life has been leaving clues all along. The skills you take for granted. The experiences that seem disconnected. The things people consistently come to you for. The parts of yourself you pushed aside because they didn’t fit your current identity. They may be exactly what your next chapter requires.
