Softness Is Not a Liability
from Talk and Toast Hosted by Chanel Gresham
Somewhere along the way, strength stopped being a choice and started being requirement. In this 45-minute episode of Talk and Toast, we tell truth about softness- especially for Black women who learned early how to brace, how to survive, and how to stay ready in spaces that were never built for their care. This conversation explores how strength became muscle memory, why softness started to feel risky, and what it costs us when resilience never gets to rest. We name the fatigue that often goes unseen and reframe softness not as weakness, but wisdom. This episode is for anyone who's been praised for being strong while quietly longing for relief.
