Ep. 07: Raised to Be Strong, Starving to Be Soft

Why does softness feel so unsafe for women who love God? In this episode of The Yes Work! Podcast, we talk about why so many Christian women, especially Black women, equate softness with weakness, passivity, or being taken advantage of, even while craving rest, tenderness, and safety. Dr. Blaire, Lady B, and Dr. DQ share real stories of how the “strong Black woman” narrative and survival taught them to stay guarded, low‑maintenance, unbothered, and always in control. We unpack the moments when being the strong one stopped feeling empowering and started feeling heavy, lonely, and emotionally distant. If you’ve been praised for resilience but punished for tenderness, if you want intimacy but don’t know how to put the armor down, this conversation will help you name where guardedness once protected you and where God might be inviting you to soften without betraying yourself.
