You keep saying you want a soft life — slower mornings, less stress, more ease.
But the truth? You’re still carrying some sharp edges.
Not because you want to… but because you had to.

In this episode, we unpack the tension between craving softness and living with the protection you built to survive: the overthinking, the over-functioning, the “I’ve got this” energy that now feels a little too heavy.

We explore:

  • Why the soft life can feel out of reach (even when you want it)

  • How hustle culture wires us to reject rest

  • The edges that served you — and why they’re starting to crack

  • The practice of setting boundaries without becoming hard

  • What it means to feel safe enough to soften

Plus: this week’s Main Character is Gentle Accountability — the one who sees you, reminds you to rest, and doesn’t let you disappear on yourself.

✨ If you’re somewhere between softening and surviving — hit play.
And stay tuned till the end for a sneak peek of next week’s episode on hyper-independence and emotional exhaustion.
