Reflection - Softening Instead of Shutting Down

About this episode

This episode explores the strength in remaining open and soft during challenging times.

This is a companion podcast for this morning's mantra. When life feels heavy, the instinct is to close off and brace — but today's meditation explores the quiet strength it takes to stay open, feel deeply, and remain soft without losing yourself.
