Hillary builds on the last episode's description of some examples of what softening IS and addresses: why even do this work?  Why soften in a world that tells us to go harder?  Why soften when we're trying to achieve and grow?  It may sound counter-intuitive, so join as Hillary walks through her own experience of why softening work has been so impactful.
