# 3 - Softening Inside: Relaxation Redefined

Listen Later

Have you ever heard the phrase “Coming home to yourself is all about softening inside” and thought, “Yeah right, who has time for that?” but deep down, you craved a simple way to do it? I get it. I used to roll my eyes too, until I discovered a perspective that made it all click.


In this episode, we’ll explore how to truly relax and soften from within, even in the midst of a hectic life. Today, you’ll discover:

  • My personal take on what "softening inside" really means. I'll share how creating an inner space to welcome and process emotions can transform your experience.
  • Why softening and relaxing can be so challenging. We'll delve into the societal pressures that keep us in a constant state of tension and how they impact our well-being.
  • How our environment influences our ability to relax. Discover how the stress around us seeps into our cells, making it difficult to find calm, and what we can do about it.
  • The concepts of expansion and contraction and their impact on your well-being. Learn how these natural processes affect your body and emotions, and how you can use them to your advantage.
  • A simple practice to help you create space in your body and mind. This practice is a powerful tool to invite relaxation into your daily life and break free from the stress cycle.


    • We'll also discuss why pushing and achieving are so ingrained in us and how to shift towards a state of relaxation by working with our bodies rather than our minds.

    Join me in this conversation to learn how to invite relaxation into your daily life, even in a stressful environment. By softening your body, you soften your mind, creating a ripple effect of relaxation that can positively impact those around you.
