Pleasure & Power Recoded | When the Dark Night Becomes the Doorway to Your Mission

In this episode of Pleasure & Power Recoded, Lucy and Liz explore what it really means to live with 'mission' at the core of your very being: that deep inner sense that you are here to do something bigger, even if the details are still blurred. Through honest stories of dark nights of the soul, addiction, depression, career changes, divorce, money fears and spiritual awakening, they show how pain can be alchemised into purpose. They talk about why you must learn to lead yourself before you can genuinely lead others, and how the right coach–client relationship is a kind of energetic chemistry rather than a top down guru model. They unpack the shift from chasing external validation, status and credentials to becoming self sourced, rooted in your own connection to the divine. The conversation also touches on how AI and tech are stripping away bureaucracy so we can go deeper into spiritual and creative work, why no part of the journey is truly a mistake, and how judgment of others is often a mirror of self judgment. At its heart, this episode is an invitation to trust your inner call, soften towards yourself, and allow pleasure, purpose and embodied power to guide the way.
