You ever find yourself shrinking in the very space God told you to build? Maybe you’re second-guessing your voice… softening your truth… tiptoeing in rooms you were called to lead. If you’ve been performing peace while secretly spiraling inside—this episode is your sacred reset.

In today’s Sips & Stillness™ episode, Dr. Seida shares a raw story from one of her retreats, the exact moment she realized you can’t shrink and lead at the same time, and how soft confidence became her anchor. You’ll walk away with bridge affirmations, journal prompts, and the courage to stop shape-shifting and start showing up—fully, freely, and without apology.

✨ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ Why you shrink in moments you should feel confident

✅ How emotional labor is draining your nervous system

✅ The truth about “low maintenance” & other trauma-trained identities ✅ What soft confidence really looks like (and how it feels)

✅ Why performance-based acceptance keeps you exhausted

✅ A rhythm reset rooted in presence—not perfection

You bought the robe. You lit the candle. You made the matcha. But you’re still spiraling inside. Let’s talk about it.

In this episode of The Poised Powerhouse Podcast, Dr. Seida gets all the way real about the “soft life” aesthetic and asks the question nobody wants to admit: Are you actually living soft—or just performing it for the ‘Gram?

Because baby… the bath bomb won’t heal burnout. Your nervous system doesn’t care how aesthetic your journal spread is. It wants to feel safe, grounded, and free.

✨ WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM THIS EPISODE:
✅ The truth behind the “soft life” trend (and why it’s not saving you)
✅ How hustle culture sneaks in through neutral tones and silk robes
✅ The difference between performing peace vs. practicing it

✅ A faith-forward mindset shift to help you rest without guilt
✅ A simple Selah moment you can use TODAY

If you’ve been chasing rest but still waking up anxious, you need this sacred reframe.
