28: The Sacred Power of Softness and Non-Traditional Love ft Blue Telusma

What if softness isn’t the reward you earn after healing—but the very tool that helps you heal? In this episode Shelah sits down with writer, cultural commentator, and soft power enthusiast Blue Telusma for a conversation that turns everything we’ve been taught about strength, love, and survival on its head. Together, they explore what it means to reclaim softness—not as a trend, but as a sacred act of resistance—and why expansive, non-traditional love requires emotional sovereignty, self-trust, and unlearning everything we thought we knew about control. If you’ve wondered how to build love that’s free, honest, and yours—this conversation is your permission slip.
