Softening Instead of Striving | How to Stop Forcing and Start Flowing

In this episode, we explore what happens when you stop trying so hard and start allowing yourself to unfold naturally. If you’ve ever felt like you have to push, optimize or prove your way to happiness, this conversation will help you soften into flow, self-trust and genuine ease.

You’ll learn how to shift from striving to softening — from force to flow — so that growth feels more like an exhale than a battle. We’ll explore:
✧ How to move away from hustle and optimization culture
✧ The truth about why forcing doesn’t lead to fulfillment
✧ Why self-compassion is the missing ingredient to real growth
✧ Why your self-worth isn't tied to your productivity and achieving

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying so hard, this one’s for you.

Let me know in the comments — where are you being invited to soften right now?

The Unfolding Group Coaching Program

The Unfolding is a group coaching journey that helps you slow down, reconnect with yourself and create space for the life that’s truly calling you. Through guided rituals, group support and intentional reflection you’ll release the pressure of “doing it right” and instead learn to trust your own timing, your own voice and your own unfolding. This isn’t about hustle or homework—it’s about cultivating clarity, presence and alignment so you can feel at home in your life again.

Through this 5-week group coaching journey you will focus on grounding, releasing and realigning with your true self. Together we’ll focus on connection, self-worth, rest, forgiveness and embodying the tools you need to move forward with clarity and confidence.

This program includes:
4 live group coaching calls
2 opening and closing ceremonies
Tools, techniques and journal prompts to deepen your practice
A private Telegram group for ongoing support and connection

The Unfolding is a space to be held, seen and supported as you step into your next chapter with intention and trust.
