The “soft life” gets talked about everywhere—but rarely in a way that works for busy moms.

Soft life isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing what aligns.

This isn’t about aesthetics or escape. It’s about designing a life that supports you instead of draining you.

✨ In this episode:

• Why softness isn’t laziness—it’s sustainability
• How structure actually creates ease
• The role money, routines, and boundaries play in a soft life
• Practical ways to reduce pressure without quitting life
