Episode 1: How Trauma Colors Our LifeLifeCode™: What happened to me shaped me, but it does not define me.Episode Summary:In this opening episode of The Soft Life as LifeCode™, Monica Wisdom invites you into a tender conversation about the invisible weight many of us carry. Before we can embrace softness, we must understand what hardened us.

This episode explores how trauma—both personal and generational—shapes the way we love, work, rest, and show up in the world. Monica breaks down what trauma is, how it lives in the body, and what it takes from us. Most importantly, she offers a powerful reframe: you are not broken, you are patterned. And patterns can be changed.

This is not about reliving the past. It's about reclaiming the power we lost along the way. This is the first step in your journey home to yourself.Mentioned in This Episode:Soft Life Mornings – A free 7-day audio series to gently guide your mornings with intention and grace.

It's the last episode of this season, and we're discussing a tough question as we enter the summer months. With everything going on in the world, is a “soft life” realistic? Is it responsible? We wrestle with what it means to pursue peace and rest in a world that feels anything but soft. We explore how Black women, in particular, can give themselves permission to step back without ignoring the reality around them. Is it possible to protect your peace and still stay engaged in the world? We don't have all the answers—but it offers a thoughtful, honest look at the balancing act.Like. Follow. Share.

Everybody's talkin' about how they want the soft life these days—no stress, no mess, just trips, massages, and somebody else taking the trash out. But here's the real: if you ain't giving that energy to yourself first, how you expect somebody else to?In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the other side of the soft life. The stuff folks don't always post about. The part where you realize that before you get the dream partner or the “you don't have to work if you don't want to” lifestyle… you gotta learn how to treat you first. Because wanting peace and actually being ready for it...are two different things.This one's for anybody who's ever said “I deserve more” out loud—but maybe hasn't started giving more to themselves yet.Key Topics:What “soft life” really means beyond social mediaThe difference between wanting to be spoiled and knowing how to receive itThe law of attraction (and why it starts with how you treat yourself)Why preparing for what you want is part of actually getting itA reminder that baby steps still count—especially when it comes to self-careConnect with Me

You don't have to choose between soft life and business success.While others believe it's either girl boss hustle or complete rest, marketing coach Danielle R. Harris reveals why this false choice keeps ambitious coaches stuck between healing and growth.In this episode, you'll discover the strategic approach to building momentum without burnout.Perfect for life coaches, business coaches, and online service providers who've recovered from burnout but want their business momentum back.What you'll learn:Why any focused work feels like burnout risk after you've recovered from overworkingThe difference between effort and exhaustion that changes everythingHow to work toward goals while honoring your energy boundariesWhich tasks raise anxiety versus actual energy requirementsStop believing you can only have rest or results.

The Soft Life is Political SeriesHosted by Monica Wisdomwww.blackwomenamplified.comWelcome to Black Women Amplified, where we let our truth breathe, our hearts exhale, and our stories rise with power. I'm your host, Monica Wisdom, This episode is part of The Soft Life is Political series, a sacred return to ourselves, where rest, healing, and self-love aren't luxuries, but revolutionary acts. In today's episode, we're leaning into one of the hardest, most beautiful practices: self-forgiveness. So many of us are carrying invisible weight. Regret and shame for the choices we made while trying to survive. And that pain? It sits in our bodies. It shapes how we speak to ourselves, how we show up, and how we dream. This isn't about blame. It's about compassion. It's about telling the truth with tenderness and giving yourself the same grace you've extended to everybody else. We're not taught how to forgive ourselves. We're taught to push through.But today, we pause. We honor our journey. ✔︎ Why guilt and shame are not your identity—they're just echoes of survival:✔︎ How self-forgiveness frees up your energy for joy, creativity, and peace✔︎ A powerful reflection to shift how you see your past and embrace your evolution✔︎ Permission to reclaim your softness without apology.Your healing is not selfish. It's sacred. You choose to let go of what no longer serves you, you create space for a life that feels good to your soul. Stay connected at www.blackwomenamplified.com, where you can find more episodes, join the community, and shop the Amplified shop.You are worthy of compassion.

We're mixing heavy recommendations with a sprinkle of lighter ones this week, and we're chatting all about Soft Life... The Soft Life Aesthetic is supposed to be the antidote to Hustle Culture, the idea is to have more self-compassion, more intentionality, slow mornings and effortless routines. But the very nature of this curated trend means there is a lot of hypocrisy and privilege in what the soft life aesthetic stands for and the nature of creating content online means it is far from effortless. But there are some fundamentals of this trend that are important and speak to a wider craving of our generation for a more gentle, slower and compassionate lifestyle.

In this episode, I'm unpacking the weight of hustle culture—especially how it shows up for first-gen Latinas like me. That constant pressure to be productive, to prove we belong, to carry our families and represent our communities—it's heavy. And let's be honest, it can burn us out. I talk about what it feels like to be emotionally tied to expectations we never signed up for, and how I'm learning to redefine success in a way that actually feels good. Not performative, not just for show—but real, aligned, and rooted in self-care. Because a life that just looks successful isn't enough. Welcome to the show!
