11: You Are Enough!

In this episode of the "Soul Shift Sessions Podcast," titled "You Are Enough!", hosts Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud engage in a transformative conversation about self-worth, vulnerability, and personal growth.Kyle shares his journey of realizing he was "hustling for his worthiness," a concept he learned from Brené Brown's work, particularly her audiobook "The Power of Vulnerability." He explains that this hustle manifests as trying to fit in and constantly replaying past arguments, feeling the need to "win" to prove his worth. He connects this behavior to his childhood experiences of being bullied and feeling unsafe, leading him to make himself "invisible."Sapphire relates to this, sharing her experience of building emotional barriers after a toxic marriage, realizing it blocked not only pain but also love, acceptance, and healing. They discuss how these coping mechanisms, while serving a purpose in the past, can become an "invisible prison" that prevents desired outcomes, like finding a relationship.The conversation shifts to the importance of aligning actions with desires and creating space for what one wants. They emphasize that while intention and manifestation are important, action is crucial. Kyle highlights the role of "feeling" in this process, using the analogy of a basketball player feeling "in the zone."Towards the end, Kyle shares a pivotal moment from a men's retreat with Mike Reese where a "mirror work" exercise led to a profound conversation with his "own soul," freeing him from the need for external validation. Sapphire expresses her appreciation for Kyle's vulnerability, especially as a Black man, and emphasizes the importance of men giving themselves permission to feel. They conclude by reinforcing the message that "you are enough."Please Like, Comment, & Share!About uswww.soulshiftsessions.comCoach Sapphire Starrwww.sapphirestarr.comCoach Kyle McCloudwww.coachkylemccloud.comBecome A Guestwww.soulshiftsessions.comBusiness [email protected] us on IG@soulshiftsessions
