Difference between soul mates and kindred spirits

Okay, have a new question. Someone who reveals to you that they have walked the same or an extremely similar path in their life. Same interests, same life goals and dreams, similar talents, similar life events(!) similar weakness, the same or at least very similar journeys in life, in general.

I realize there's a difference between a kindred spirit and a soul mate. Or is there? Are they similar? Are they different? If they are different, what is the difference?

Thank you all. Have a great day everyone
