28: Small business corner-juggling life, love, & your business

In this episode of the Soul Shift Sessions podcast, hosts Coach Sapphire Star and Coach Kyle McCloud discuss the challenges of juggling love, life, and professional responsibilities, particularly for small business owners and entrepreneurs. They emphasize the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-care to avoid burnout and maintain overall well-being.Key takeaways from the discussion include:Time Management and Boundaries: The hosts stress the necessity of establishing clear cut-off times for work, even for entrepreneurs passionate about their businesses. They advocate for time blocking not just work tasks but also personal development and self-care activities.Prioritizing Self-Care: Coach Sapphire Starr shares her personal ritual of "Me Time Friday," a dedicated day for self-care that started 20 years ago. This practice, which has evolved from a couple of hours to a full day, is non-negotiable for her and helps her reset and be a better version of herself for others.The Importance of Physical Activity: Coach Kyle highlights how physical activity is often the first thing to go when stress levels rise, and emphasizes its role in quieting mental noise.Saying No: The hosts discuss the power of saying "no" as a complete sentence and the importance of understanding one's desires and priorities to align decisions with a life by design.Vulnerability and Support Systems: The conversation touches on the societal pressure, particularly on men, to always appear "fine" and the difficulty of showing vulnerability. They advocate for therapy as a safe space to process emotions and discuss challenges. They also emphasize the value of having a sounding board or a "tribe" of people to confide in, but caution that not everyone can handle deep vulnerability.Please Like, Comment, & Share!About us - www.soulshiftsessions.comCoach Sapphire Starr - www.sapphirestarr.comCoach Kyle McCloud- www.coachkylemccloud.comBecome A Guest - www.soulshiftsessions.comBusiness inquiries - [email protected] us on IG - @soulshiftsessions
