44: From Surviving to Soul Living

from Soul Shift Sessions · host Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud

In this episode of the Soul Shift Sessions podcast, titled "From Surviving to Soul Living," coaches Sapphire Starr and Kyle McCloud discuss the transition from merely surviving to truly thriving in life.Key themes include:Defining Thriving: Coach Kyle defines thriving as living without constant stress and anxiety, being present in the moment, and enjoying life to its fullest, even when facing challenges.Mindset Shift: Coach Sapphire emphasizes that moving from surviving to thriving primarily involves a shift in mindset. She highlights how many people are stuck in a "hustle, hustle, hustle" mode, leading to burnout and stress, and that a major life event often serves as a wake-up call.Individual Definition of Thriving: Both coaches stress the importance of individually defining what "thriving" and "success" look like, as it varies greatly depending on personal circumstances, financial motivations, and family situations.Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: They discuss how past experiences and generational conditioning, such as parents working multiple jobs for survival, can instill limiting beliefs that hinder one's ability to truly live and enjoy life beyond just earning an income.Importance of "What's Important to You": The core question to begin the shift from surviving to thriving is identifying what is truly important to oneself. This serves as a "north star" or "guiding light" for making conscious choices and setting goals.Action and Accountability: The coaches encourage taking small, consistent steps and holding oneself accountable to a plan. They highlight that focusing on small wins throughout the journey is crucial for developing and maintaining momentum.Community and Alignment: They emphasize the significance of aligning with like-minded individuals and communities to support one's journey. Being surrounded by people who understand and encourage personal growth can make the process feel less heavy and more empowering.Embracing Challenges and Imperfection: The discussion touches upon the idea that life will inevitably have its "valleys" and challenges, but these experiences contribute to growth and development. They advocate for embracing imperfections and not taking oneself too seriously.Choice and Reality: The video concludes by reiterating that choosing to focus on what is hoped for and what is working, rather than solely on current problems or perceived realities, is a deliberate choice. Not making a choice to change means choosing to remain in an undesirable situation.Please Like, Comment, & Share!About us - www.soulshiftsessions.com Coach Sapphire Starr - www.sapphirestarr.comCoach Kyle McCloud- www.coachkylemccloud.com  Become A Guest - www.soulshiftsessions.comBusiness inquiries - [email protected] us on IG - @soulshiftsessions

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in The Health Odyssey: Navigating Tomorrow's Medicine Podcast Welcome to 'The Health Odyssey: Navigating Tomorrow's Medicine,' where we embark on an adventurous journey through the ever-evolving world of healthcare. Each episode is like a treasure map, guiding you through the rich tapestry of ancient healing arts mixed with futuristic tech wizardry. We’ll chat about the wild west of health data privacy, the corporate giants reshaping our care, and the mind-bending potential of psychedelics for mental wellness. Think of us as your trusty sidekicks, unraveling the mysteries of modern medicine while keeping it real and relatable. Let’s dive into the stories, the science, and the soul of healthcare, paving the way for a healthier tomorrow.
