Summary
Reclaim Joy， Inner Freedom， and Zest for Life。
How often do you feel joy—a truly pure， unadulterated experience of ease， bliss， and happiness？ In childhood， our joy arises in the moment， spontaneous and free。 But as we become adults， we’re faced with the pressure of increased responsibilities， endless demands， and a barrage of breaking news。 And along the way， we forget how to be present in our own lives。
In Soul Shift， Rachel Macy Stafford offers us a practical， inclusive guide to navigating a culture of distraction and depletion to find our way back to what delights our heart， makes us feel alive， and brings us peace。 She illuminates how to embody the practice of presence， where we return home to our authentic selves and the joy found only in the here and now。
Like a wise， empathetic friend， Stafford accompanies you on a wondrous exploration of self-discovery。 She walks you through a symbolic botanical garden made up of eight areas designed to help you practice: presence， worthiness， letting go of perfection， self-kindness， authenticity， forgiveness， looking after yourself， and cultivating your gifts。
Soul Shift helps you rediscover the joy inside you at a pace that is natural， with an approach that is gentle and practical exercises that are easy to follow。 Here， you will learn how to:
• Release external measurements of success so you can focus on what matters
• Respond to life’s challenges with awareness and compassion
• Realign with your heart and the calm presence within
• Create a framework to center you when life steers you off course
• Experience the healing power of presence for yourself and with the ones you love
In practicing this work， “our innermost truths come to the surface，” Stafford writes。 “Barriers crumble， the past loses its grip， and we are finally free to show up as our fully human selves and make our unique contributions to the world。”

WOW。 I’ve read quite a few self discovery type books through the years but none have quite hit me as much as this one。 I feel like Rachel is my best friend taking me through a journey of finding the best version of myself。 The way it’s done truly speaks to my soul as a parent and woman in her late 30’s。 I quickly read through the book because it’s so conversational and well done and am now going back to journal with the questions asked。 My favorite {and most needed！} sections were Letting Go of WOW。 I’ve read quite a few self discovery type books through the years but none have quite hit me as much as this one。 I feel like Rachel is my best friend taking me through a journey of finding the best version of myself。 The way it’s done truly speaks to my soul as a parent and woman in her late 30’s。 I quickly read through the book because it’s so conversational and well done and am now going back to journal with the questions asked。 My favorite {and most needed！} sections were Letting Go of Perfection， Being Your Authentic Self， and Offering Your Gift。 I absolutely will be looking back at this book and all it’s wisdom for years to come。 Bravo for your best work yet， Rachel！ 。。。more

“You are not alone” …four words that I not only read in Soul Shift but felt in Soul Shift。 Rachel Macy Stafford’s words are authentic， vulnerable， and life-giving。 It is a book that will move you to change and give you the steps and applications to guide you along the way。 Her encouragement will provide hope and confidence to start or continue your journey to joy！

It’s like she’s sitting across from you in a coffee shop。 A close friend talking to you in a way you feel seen， worthy， and hopeful。 Rachel shares her personal journey intertwined with so much insightful encouragement。 I’ve been following her for years。 This is by far her best work yet。 It’s something truly special。

Soul Shift is one of those books that you didn’t even realize how much you needed it in your life until you read it。 I found myself laughing at times， crying at times， and flat out hugging the book at times。 Rachel’s words wrap you up like a warm blanket。 She makes you feel like you’re reading a letter from a long lost friend。 To say Soul Shift had an impact would be an understatement。 It touched my mind， it touched my heart， it touched my soul。 Reading the book truly did result in my soul shift Soul Shift is one of those books that you didn’t even realize how much you needed it in your life until you read it。 I found myself laughing at times， crying at times， and flat out hugging the book at times。 Rachel’s words wrap you up like a warm blanket。 She makes you feel like you’re reading a letter from a long lost friend。 To say Soul Shift had an impact would be an understatement。 It touched my mind， it touched my heart， it touched my soul。 Reading the book truly did result in my soul shifting for the positive， and I am left with a new sense of joy。 I highly recommend this life changing book， by this incredible author。 。。。more

Rachel Macy Stafford writes with such authenticity and compassion， this guide teaches us how to reprioritize what matters most and embrace the joy in everyday moments。 This is an amazing resource to reflect on what motivates our choices， to regain footing in a world full of distraction and comparison and to accept our unique talents and perspective。 Soul Shift feels like a journey you are taking with a dear friend。 Absolutely worth the read！

This book speaks to weary souls who want to find rest from old， destructive habits。 She provides practical ways to reset your way of thinking about yourself and the world around you。 It’s not a magical formula， it’s as the book says…a shift。 Rachel has a gift for writing and understanding。

At some point in reading Soul Shift， you’re going to say to yourself “oh my gosh this book is beautiful， and I sure need some beautiful in my life right now， because it’s been so long。” That is what Rachel makes you do， sit down and catch your breath and notice the beautiful things around you that you’ve been too busy or stressed to notice。 She reminds you gently that you are exactly where you need to be within your divine story。 If you’ve ever had the blessing of getting away from your crazy li At some point in reading Soul Shift， you’re going to say to yourself “oh my gosh this book is beautiful， and I sure need some beautiful in my life right now， because it’s been so long。” That is what Rachel makes you do， sit down and catch your breath and notice the beautiful things around you that you’ve been too busy or stressed to notice。 She reminds you gently that you are exactly where you need to be within your divine story。 If you’ve ever had the blessing of getting away from your crazy life for a bit with a good friend， sitting on a deck with coffee （or wine） in your hand， watching the sunset， seeing new perspectives while laughing and crying over your shared stories， while reading this you will think ‘here we are again。’ And if you’ve never had that experience， you will now， Soul Shift takes you there。 Rachel and I have been those friends from the moment she lovingly reached out to me through the words in her blog， through a few of her books now， and this writing is definitely her best。 Soul Shift is a different kind of self-help book that leads you down a path of becoming who you already are， a wonderfully made person designed for great things。 Your greatness might be in following a big dream that you have kept buried for far too long， creating a string of amazing memories with your people， or in being that person that inspires others to see and seek their greatness， or standing with them in moments when you， or they， just need to step away from the path for a minute and dance it out。 In a world addicted to distraction， you will embrace each tender moment you are sharing with Rachel as you feast on Soul Shift。 It is a must-read， and must-share with anyone you care about。 I pre-ordered three more copies as I read it to share with people I knew would find the encouragement they need in Rachel’s words。 To everyone who buys this book， I hope you take a long， deep exhale， you’ve been holding your breath far too long。 Break out your pens and highlighters， and write all over these pages。 Let’s take a little walk together。 。。。more
