About this episode
This episode explores the concept of emotional strength and the importance of staying soft in a world that encourages hardening oneself.
You've learned to keep it together. To be the strong one. The steady one. The one who doesn't let things get to them. So you build walls. You thicken your skin. You tell yourself not to care quite so much. Because caring can hurt. Little by little, protecting yourself starts to feel like strength. But what if strength was never about hardening? What if the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to close?Join me as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.
