Growing Softer, Not Smaller: A Birthday Month Reflection

It’s my birthday month, and instead of rushing past it, I’m reflecting.In this episode, I talk about what the past year taught me — including the cost of staying quiet, forcing relationships, and carrying emotional labor that was never mine to hold.I share what I’m leaving behind, what I’m no longer forcing, and what “soft life” really means to me in this season.This isn’t about age — it’s about alignment, boundaries, and choosing yourself without guilt.
