About SolFul Connections

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.

   More is Possible with Rebecca Faust

   What would your life look like if you gave yourself permission to pause, catch your breath, and consider what you really want? In this episode of SolFul Connections, Amanda connects with Coach, Blogger, and Podcast Host Rebecca Faust. The two discuss how so many of us become consumed by work, responsibilities, and the expectations we place on ourselves that we lose sight of our own dreams. We keep going, keep doing, and showing up for everyone else... but ourselves. Rebecca's work encourages people to reconnect with themselves, reclaim their dreams, and create lives that feel more aligned with what matters most. Through her work at More Is Possible Coaching, Rebecca invites us to question the expectations we've come to accept, make room for rest, and rediscover what brings us joy and purpose. Together, we explore what it means to give ourselves permission to imagine something different, honor our own needs and aspirations, and remember that the life we want doesn't have to remain a distant dream. Because sometimes, the first step toward a different life isn't doing more. It's making space to ask ourselves what we really want.

   Damaris Melo-Gyasi: The Power of Possibility

   Do the circumstances of your birth determine the life you can create? Damaris Melo-Gyasi, NCARB, AIA, NOMA, LEED AP knows something about making her way, which is also the subject of her recent book, Making My Way. Born into challenging circumstances in Brazil, Damaris' life could have easily defined the boundaries of her future. But a life-changing chance encounter changed the way she envisioned her future - and, in doing, altered her life in a powerful way. Today, Damaris is an award-winning architect who leads her own firm, a TEDx speaker, and the author of Making My Way. Her journey from humble beginnings to an extraordinary career is remarkable. But what makes her story especially powerful is the way she talks about it: with authenticity, humility, and a deep belief in the possibilities that can emerge when we are willing to pursue our dreams. In this conversation, Damaris and Amanda talk about what it means to make your way when you don't necessarily have a roadmap. They explore dreams, courage, possibility, perseverance, and the importance of leaning in rather than allowing fear, circumstances, or other people's expectations to determine what is possible for your life. Damaris reminds us that we don't always have to know exactly how we're going to get there. Sometimes, we simply have to be willing to take the next step toward the life we can imagine. Because possibility isn't always something we find. Sometimes, it's something we choose.
