We're back with our Part 2 episode on the 'Soft Life' trend! This episode explores how age, class, and race coincide with a Soft Life. We also chit-chat about why this lifestyle trend has evolved to become capitalist. Is it possible for anyone - no matter class, race, and age - to access a Soft Life as a path toward greater rest and restoration? Listen in as we present some accessible, non-problematic ways to adopt the mentality, state of being,  feeling, and rest practice that the Soft Life can be for Black women.

Key Topics:

• How age, class, and race coincide with the Soft Life
• How the Soft Life is linked to white supremacy, patriarchy, and how women should perform their gender
• How the Soft Life privileges people with disposable income
• How Black women can re-brand and personalize the Soft Life as a rest practice: inclusive, accessible, and sustainable
