Soft Girl Era
Welcome to The Soft Girl Era, the unapologetically juicy interview show from Wake Up Happy, Sis! where high-achieving Black women trade the hustle-till-you-drop narrative for a life that feels as good as it looks. Each week I sit down with powerhouse sisters—executives, creators, and change-makers—who’ve learned to flip the script from “I’m exhausted” to “I’m exquisitely fulfilled.”
