In this inspiring episode of Soul Shift Sessions, host Coach Sapphire Star and co-host Coach Kyle welcome guest Stephanie (Cafcules Consulting) for a raw conversation on reinvention—remembering who you truly are amid life's upheavals.
Key Highlights:
- Catalyst for Change: Stephanie shares her 2019 brain surgery for a benign acoustic neuroma tumor, followed by COVID, depression, and a messy recovery. It forced her to confront people-pleasing, prioritize self over others, and declare, "I can't live like this anymore." Therapy, research, and self-reflection pulled her through.
- Self-Discovery & Women’s Struggles: Echoing the "put your oxygen mask on first" analogy, they discuss how women often tie identity to roles (mom, wife, worker), sidelining self-care until a crisis hits. Reinvention means serving from overflow, not depletion, to avoid burnout.
- Parenting a Teen in the AI Era: As a single mom to a 15-year-old with ADHD (like her), Stephanie jokes about co-parenting with ChatGPT for modern challenges—no blueprint, just trial-and-error amid tech, high school drama, and perimenopause.
- Entrepreneurship Pivot: From corporate "process fixer" (art master's + tech savvy, no coding!) to her backend software consulting biz, she thrives on "working smarter," automating CRMs/project tools, and ditching 9-5 monotony for organized chaos.
- Life Lessons: Embrace the entrepreneurial rollercoaster (wooden, not steel!), step outside comfort zones (Les Brown vibes), and reject predictability. Rapid fire gems: Books like The Body Keeps the Score (trauma healing) and Art & Fear; daily mirror notes like "Remember who you are" or "Quit negotiating with your intuition."
Soul-Shifting Quote: "Reinvention means figuring out who you are again—and remembering who I actually am."
Final Words: "Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line that we've drawn for it." Let your soul glow! 🌟
