Try Softer (Interview with Aundi Kolber)

Oct 6, 2021

Today we interview the brilliant Aundi Kolber! Aundi the author or Try Softer: a fresh approach to move us out of anxiety, stress and survival mode and into a life of connection and joy.

She also JUST released a companion book called Try Softer: a guided journey.

In a world that preaches a “try harder” gospel—just keep going, keep hustling, keep pretending we’re all fine—we’re left exhausted, overwhelmed, and so numb to our lives. If we’re honest, we’ve been over-functioning for so long, we can’t even imagine another way. How else will things get done? How else will we survive?

 

It doesn’t have to be this way.

 

Aundi Kolber believes that we don’t have to white-knuckle our way through life. In her debut book, Try Softer, she’ll show us how God specifically designed our bodies and minds to work together to process our stories and work through obstacles. Through the latest psychology, practical clinical exercises, and her own personal story, Aundi equips and empowers us to connect us to our truest self and truly live. This is the “try softer” life.

 

We talk about parenting in our current climate of burnout and anxiety, how to stay within our window of tollorance, how to recognize when we are outside of it and how to acknowledge our own trauma and begin to heal.
