We all have stories we tell ourselves—about who we are, what we deserve, and why things happen the way they do. But what if those stories aren’t true?

In this Soul Shift Session, Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle unpack how the narratives we repeat can become invisible chains—keeping us stuck in struggle, fear, and self-doubt.

From childhood beliefs to cultural conditioning, we explore how to identify the stories that no longer serve you and rewrite them with power, purpose, and peace.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why does this keep happening to me?” this conversation will help you see how you might be the author of your own limitations—and how to finally flip the script.

In this real, unfiltered Soul Shift Session, Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle dive into what we call “raw dogging life” — going through life without protection, without a plan, and without the tools for success.

We unpack why so many people wake up every day winging it — no vision, no strategy, no support system — and how that’s leaving them exposed to burnout, broken dreams, and cycles of survival.

This episode is your wake-up call to suit up with intention, discipline, and purpose. 💡

We’re talking about creating your own life “protection plan” — mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually — so you can thrive instead of just survive.

This episode of the Soul Shift Sessions podcast, titled "What's Your SOUL Purpose," is the season two finale. The hosts, Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud, discuss the concept of soul purpose, self-evolution, and the importance of supporting others.

Key topics covered:

• The Nature of Self and Evolution: The hosts emphasize that individuals are constantly evolving and may never fully "know" themselves, as desires and wants change over time. They discuss the idea that life's "contrast" (experiencing what one doesn't like) helps in discovering what one truly desires.
• Defining Soul Purpose: Coach Sapphire defines the soul as the essence or spirit, the "fire that burns" inside, and views her soul purpose as living an unapologetically authentic life in freedom and pursuing her passions, with a significant part being service to others. Coach Kyle defines the soul as the innermost part of oneself that is always seeking to align with desired life outcomes. Negative emotions serve as indicators of being out of alignment with one's soul.
• The Importance of Supporting Others: Coach Sapphire shares that helping loved ones become better versions of themselves, navigate situations, or providing physical labor makes her soul feel good. Coach Kyle discusses the importance of empowering those in his intimate relationships, like his wife and children, to pursue their goals without disempowering them, contrasting this with past experiences where his successes were met with resistance.
• Mindset and Physical Health: Coach Kyle shares his journey of losing weight, highlighting that a change in mindset about food and paying attention to nutritional labels (specifically sugar and carbs) came before the physical results. He elaborates on how 4 grams of sugar equals a teaspoon and the hidden sugars in common foods like ketchup.
• The Soul and the Physical Body: The hosts draw a parallel between taking care of one's physical body as the "house for the soul" and the deterioration of a house when no one lives in it. They stress the imperative of understanding what drives the soul for longevity, referencing studies on centenarians in "blue zones" who have a strong sense of purpose and community.

In this episode of Soul Shift Sessions we have a special guest. Minesh Baxi, an engineer turned author, who made a bold decision to design a life on his own terms after hearing the song "Cats in a Cradle." He chose to leave a traditional career path to work from home, homeschool his children, and prioritize freedom, learning, and family. He has been married for 33 years and has two children, Macy and Sahil, both of whom are entrepreneurs. Minesh has also authored 12 books.

Minesh shares his personal journey, explaining how he struggled in his job for 12 years despite his credentials and eventually lost his contract. This led him to ask tough questions about his future, realizing he didn't want to continue in that path. He discusses how he made the decision in 2000 to go full-time into speaking and coaching.

A central theme of the discussion is the concept of courage versus conformity. Minesh emphasizes that courage is essential to ask tough questions and take necessary action steps, breaking free from societal norms and expectations. He states that unless one has courage, they will never be willing to take the action step needed to transform their life. The co-hosts further elaborate on how courage is developed and the importance of reaching a "dead end" where one realizes that their current path is not leading them to their desired life. The "three C's" for achieving success are identified as courage, coach, and community, with a fourth "C" being consistency.

Minesh also shares an anecdote about his family's numerous visits to Disney World, explaining that it was a deliberate choice to create memories and provide an anchoring "happiest place on the planet" for his children. This also serves as a metaphor for designing a life you don't need a vacation from.

The conversation further delves into the definition of success, with Minesh defining it as having a close-knit family, raising children with his values, and empowering them with skills and options to live life on their own terms. The co-hosts add their perspectives, focusing on continuous personal growth and becoming a person who can easily overcome yesterday's challenges. The discussion also touches upon "quantum shifts" and the importance of paying the "price" for success, which includes willingness, preparation, energy, motivation, resources, and skills.

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.

This episode of the Soul Shift Sessions Podcast features Maria Soprano discussing her new book, "Decoded: The Portal is You, Awaken the Architect Within." The conversation delves into her personal journey of healing from severe depression and addiction, which ultimately led her to a profound spiritual awakening.

Key themes and discussions in the video include:

• Inner Wisdom and Healing: The core message is that the answers and healing we seek are not external but reside within us. Maria shares her experience of overcoming addiction by recognizing and trusting this inner guidance.
• Divine Intervention and Guidance: Maria recounts a pivotal moment of divine intervention during her lowest point, which initiated her journey of following an inner "stir" or impulse. This guidance led her to pack up her life and travel cross-country, and eventually to channeling her book.
• Sacred Geometry and Creation: Inspired by a show about Albert Einstein and the Fibonacci sequence, Maria discovered sacred geometry and its connection to creation, realizing that everything is made of symbols and patterns.
• The Book "Decoded": Maria explains that the book, channeled over two weeks in April, was not intentionally sought but came through as a means to awaken consciousness in others. She emphasizes that it's encoded to awaken readers to their higher power.
• Accessibility of Channeling/Guidance: The book states that the ability to connect with one's higher self is not special to Maria but is accessible to everyone who learns to quiet their mind and listen to their inner stir.
• Meditation and Stillness: The hosts and Maria discuss various ways to achieve stillness, from traditional meditation to physical activities like hiking or cycling, as a means to quiet external noise and connect with internal guidance.
• Ego's Role: Maria clarifies that the ego is not inherently bad but serves as a guide when individuals forget their divine self. As one remembers their divine nature, the ego's role diminishes, replaced by guidance from the higher self through joy.
• Book Release and Access: "Decoded: The Portal is You" is set to be released on August 8th (Lion's Portal), with a 48-hour free Kindle download available until August 10th on Amazon. A pre-sale with a 10% discount is available by signing up on Maria's website, karmafreeliving.life.
