☾ Episode 1: Softness is a praxis ☽
In this gentle, reflective episode of Kinship, Surabhi explores softness not as fragility, but as a radical, relational practice—one that invites deeper connection with our dogs and ourselves.
Together, we examine how choosing tenderness in moments of dysregulation can transform how we show up in relationship.
In this episode, you will explore:
𖤓 Why softness is a form of resistance—not weakness—in a culture obsessed with control
𖤓 How to meet canine behavior with curiosity instead of correction
𖤓 The link between fear, control, and our nervous system responses
𖤓 What it means to create safety through attunement rather than obedience
𖤓 Daily practices to reclaim tenderness as a path toward healing and connection
You can also engage with some inquiry after the episode:
🌹 where do yo feel the urge to control your dog? What might that urge be protecting or compensating for?
🌹 When you think about “softness,” what emotions or memories arise? Is there resistance? Grief? Relief?
🌹 what’s one small way you can practice softness this week—in how you respond, how you speak, or how you approach a situation?
Hope you enjoy this episode ❤️
