I started the Soft Power Project because I needed it. I needed the courage to let go of something I'd been holding since I was maybe four, and I needed to hear how other women did it.

One hundred episodes later, this is the thing I was too ashamed to tell you.

I'm going through a reset with my parents. I'm not sharing the details, my family gets their privacy.

Growing up, my family's problems were a puddle of water behind a wall. There was a hole in it, and my job was to hold it shut so nothing spilled. I was told I was good at that job. The puddle became an ocean, and I held on until I couldn't.

I let go for my daughter.

I'm not sharing this as someone who has it figured out. A week and a half ago I was in bed. Today I can say it out loud. That's why I record.

If you're carrying shame about your family, you're not alone, and you're not a bad daughter. Soft power, right now, looks like compassion for yourself and seeing what's real.

Thank you for a hundred, and let's do a hundred more together.
