Unfiltered - when it all feels like a lot + the power of going soft

Welcome back to The Psychology Sisters unfiltered, where we chat all things being human, with a mix of clinical insight, real talk, and a few chaotic tangents.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring something that feels especially needed right now: softness. What does it mean to go soft in a world that’s constantly asking us to toughen up, keep going, and stay informed, even when it all feels like a lot?

We start with what it means to feel alive, not just functioning, but actually alive in your body, your joy, and your presence. 

Then we dive into the weirdness of the current world climate — from global conflict to digital burnout — and how to look after yourself without disconnecting entirely. 

And finally, we unpack the Soft Girl Era, not as an aesthetic, but as a nervous system rebellion. Resting, feeling, slowing down, and saying no? 

That’s the real power move.

So, if you’ve been feeling flat, frantic, or just deeply tired — this one’s for you.
