How do we remain soft and loving when the world around us feels hard?? In this episode we explore the value of being receptive to life's lessons without allowing tough times to harden us. Instead through vulnerability and self-awareness, we uncover the path to resilience and growth.

We reflect on personal responsibility and the power of honesty - with ourselves and others - in shaping the kinds of lives we aspire to lead.

What softens your heart? What hardens your heart?
