What Does It Mean To Soften Your Heart?
Nov 23, 2022
You’ve probably heard the saying “to soften your heart” - but what does that actually mean?
We’ve been talking a lot about men’s work, and now we’re shifting focus to talk about the importance of women doing the work to soften their hearts and their bodies - from what that looks like to why it’s important not just for each woman, but for her children and (of course) her relationship as well.
This is an episode for the ladies, so if you’re curious about doing the work, codependency, the wounded feminine, how to let go of stuck emotions (and why you might be holding on to them in the first place), and so much more, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
