“Don’t you let life harden your heart.” These words, spoken to a six-year-old girl, carry a deep truth about resilience, openness, and our human experience. In this episode of Love Louder – Iterations on Becoming Human, we explore how clinging to pain creates suffering, why true strength lies in softness, and how to navigate life’s challenges without closing off.

What if resilience isn’t about pushing through, but about softening? What if intelligence isn’t in controlling the path, but in allowing the next step to reveal itself? This episode dives into the wisdom of an open heart—why it matters, how we lose it, and how we can return to it.
