Host Rev. MK Mitchell explores mindful surrender as the key to authentic resilience, challenging the notion that being unbreakable is strength. Drawing on the stories of Jonah and the Whale and The Oak and the Reed, she advocates for adaptability, humility, and acceptance in the face of life's undertow. Rev. MK shares how personal struggles (illness, perimenopause, and conformity) taught her that fighting the current only exhausts us. True soul survival comes from bending like the reed, conserving strength, and choosing softness over struggle. This episode offers practical Soulwork to help you transform resistance into clarity and see that surrender is strategy, not defeat.

Memorable Quote
"The undertow is not the end; it’s a passage. Resilience is born not in resistance, but in surrender. It’s not defeat. It’s strategy. It’s soul survival.”
