I have never heard of it, but I think a lot of people are subclinical for lots of disorders. There is a spectrum/range for a lot of things, and people don't always fit in boxes, neatly or clearly.

There are two bipolar 'types' one is where people reach a manic state [1], and the other is where people reach 'hypermania' [2] rather than full blown mania. I wonder if she means the latter?

I don't have bipolar by the way, this is just what I know from others.

Edit- there is Cyclothymia also, never knew it was termed soft bipolar, but it is a milder mood disorder that can include swings.
