EP 33. How the Soft Life Is Sabotaging Your Success

While the "soft life" promises comfort and minimal stress…it might actually be the reason you're stuck and not fulfilling your true potential.
This lifestyle trend might be holding you back.

In today's episode, we're tackling the soft life—a trend that's been sweeping social media since 2022, especially among young African American women. It's all about prioritizing comfort, relaxation, and minimal stress.

But here's the catch: while it sounds divine, it can subtly trap high-performing women like us into settling and playing small.

We end up choosing comfort over our calling and pleasure over purpose. This keeps us from embracing the fullness of our authority and divine mandate.

So… what do we do instead?

I'm inviting you to fight back. Embrace your divine influence and authority. It’s time to reclaim the life that God designed for you.
Let's redefine grace not as ease but as a divine influence, a divine advantage. With this perspective shift, you can move forward with purpose, even when it's uncomfortable or challenging.

If you're ready to stop settling and start moving forward, if you want to fully embrace the woman you're designed to be, join our significant life community. Scroll below and book a call. Let's connect to see if we're a good fit to support each other in this fight.
Until next time, keep fighting back and living fully alive!
