OUT Like a Light – S01E05: Soft Armor The Quiet Strength of a Water Bear

Tonight’s episode is a soft celebration of resilience—the kind that doesn’t shout, but endures. After a grounding body scan meditation, you’ll meet a microscopic creature known as a tardigrade, or water bear. They’re tiny, squishy, and surprisingly indestructible. In this dreamy, voice-only story with no dialogue, we follow one water bear’s gentle journey through cycles of stillness, survival, and self-trust.

Told by an omniscient narrator with deep love and care, this episode invites you to see resilience not as toughness, but as softness that endures. This is for anyone who’s had to pause, who’s had to shrink into safety, and who needs to be reminded: you are enough in all your forms.

Thank you for listening, for resting, and for sharing this space with us. If you know someone who could use a bedtime story like this, share it with love.
