019: Living Softly: A New Way to Hold Work, Business, and Creativity

What if the opposite of hard isn’t easy—but soft? In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to live and work softly in a world that constantly tells us business, selling, and creativity have to be hard.

Not soft as in vague or wobbly - but soft as in grounded, steady, and kind to ourselves while we do meaningful work. This is a conversation about pressure, language, and the quiet ways we make things harder than they need to be.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why hard work comes naturally to us - and how “soft” offers a better way to the same goal
• How pressure and self-criticism sneak into our work without us noticing
• Simple language shifts that help interrupt shame spirals
• What it looks like to hold work, selling, and creativity with care instead of force
• Why approaching ideas (like writing a book) with curiosity can open doors instead of shutting us down
