This episode, the Season 1 finale of the Soul Shift Sessions podcast, features hosts Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud reflecting on the transformative impact the podcast has had on their lives. They discuss how it has served as a "North Star" for Kyle, providing weekly therapeutic conversations, and how it has fostered the growth of their relationship and provided valuable insights from their guests.
They highlight memorable moments and guests from the season, including Dr. Tiffany Harris's quote, "You lose if you don't win," and Aisha's story about the power of pivoting. They also recall B Mo Raw's wisdom on "letting people live their lives" and the universe "conspiring in your favor."
The central theme of the episode is self-love, which they define as a verb and a choice, emphasizing its action-oriented nature rather than just an emotion. They discuss how their upbringing and culture have shaped their understanding of love, particularly in matriarchal societies where love is often shown through actions rather than words. Kyle shares Brené Brown's definition of love, which highlights vulnerability, spiritual connection, trust, respect, kindness, and affection, concluding with the idea that "we can only love others as much as we love ourselves."
They delve into the challenges of self-love, such as negative self-talk and the tendency to blame others as a discharge for discomfort. The hosts emphasize that self-love is a daily practice, much like renewing one's mind, and requires questioning one's thoughts and feelings without fighting them. They also discuss the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive communities, even virtually, to maintain a positive mindset, sharing personal anecdotes about finding their "friends in my pocket" through online communities.
The episode concludes with a powerful message about prioritizing oneself, especially for those who constantly put others first, and the importance of recognizing when someone's "best isn't for you." They encourage listeners to find their tribe and let their souls glow by embracing self-love and being authentically themselves.
