Have you ever considered how the 'Strong Black Woman' trope you've been fed over generations might be hindering your ability to truly relax and enjoy soft living? In this fascinating episode of Sister Find Yourself, I, Corky Nelson, explore this question and share my own experiences as a young nurse witnessing the contrast in mental health practices among women of different ethnicities. The journey begins with a discussion on soft living - a lifestyle of comfort and minimal challenges, often mistaken as a product of wealth and luxury. However, in reality, it's a profound way to liberate ourselves from unnecessary stress and obligations.

The dialogue extends to the significance of embracing femininity for a more relaxed, softer life. You'll hear how generations of women have been operating out of necessity or scarcity, resulting in behaviours that are not in sync with our natural order. Whether it's about the importance of opposites attracting, finding an equally yoked partner, or the crucial role of communication, all aspects are thoughtfully dissected. Finally, be prepared to get busy with a unique homework assignment that emphasizes self-care, boundary-setting, and authentically living your best life. So, join me on this empowering journey that aims to change how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.
