In this episode we're delving into a post that Ari Lennox made on twitter that goes deep into the topic of being 'soft' as a woman, exploring the societal expectations placed upon women to be nurturing, kind, and gentle. From a young age, girls are often taught to prioritize others needs over their own and to suppress their own emotions in favor of maintaining a pleasant demeanor. But what happens when these expectations become a burden, and women are forced to navigate a world that values toughness and assertiveness over softness and vulnerability? Join us as we explore the complex and often fraught relationship that women have with their 'softness.'
