This is a standalone episode of the Lynda: Rooted&Real podcast.
In ‘Softness Is Not A Flaw’, Lynda reminds us that society often pressures us to be tough, but embracing our softness is a true act of bravery.
It’s essential to protect this vulnerability rather than suppress it, as it is a unique strength that enriches our lives.
Your softness is a precious gift that allows for deeper connections and understanding. Cherish it, for it reflects your courage and humanity, making the world a more compassionate place.

[00:00:17.68]Hey! It’s Lynda again. Welcome to Rooted&Real. I want to remind you today that softness is not
[00:00:27.18]a flaw. You see, for every soft person the world tries to harden,
[00:00:35.55]and that’s crazy because one thing I’m learning is that the world lies.
[00:00:43.67]It told you to toughen up, stop feeling so much, be less sensitive. So you built your walls.
[00:00:52.85]You laughed at pain. You acted like nothing hurt. But please, softness isn’t weakness.
[00:01:01.84]It’s courage with skin on. Protect it. Don’t kill it. The world needs your softness.
[00:01:10.76]Your softness feels deeply, loves loudly, and heals gently. Yes, guard it. Not everyone deserves
[00:01:21.99]that part of you. But don’t kill it to survive. Don’t let betrayal turn you bitter. Don’t let
[00:01:28.62]disappointment turn you cold. You can be wise and soft. You can have boundaries and a tender heart,
[00:01:38.22]and that’s not naive. That is strength. So my person, stay soft. Even here, even now.
[00:01:49.99]The world has enough hard people. Be the one who still feels. Be the one who still cares.
[00:01:58.64]Softness is not a flaw. It’s your gift…
