Episode Synopsis

EP.22 "Soft Reset, Solid Return"Episode DescriptionSometimes doing nothing… is actually doing the most.In this episode, we explore what it really means to step back, soften your pace, and rebuild from a place of honesty. Not the dramatic kind of comeback — but the quiet reset that puts you back in alignment.We unpack emotional depletion, especially the kind Black men carry without language for it. We talk about how to reset without disappearing, how introverts and extroverts recharge differently, and why slow living isn’t laziness — it’s nervous system science.Today’s Footwork spotlight features the minimalist Axel Arigato DAZE Runner, a handcrafted reminder that refinement beats excess and a soft reset still keeps you moving even when nobody’s watching.Footwork Image:https://axelarigato.com/men/footwear/daze/daze-runner-f3535005?market=us&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=19999241196&utm_content=&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20007501778&gbraid=0AAAAACip3Lur4QtI_SqfuYJDY3X5nrcrj&gclid=CjwKCAiA3fnJBhAgEiwAyqmY5VU3nyz8KC8wDtcVvAdTuAg2OFULmkXIGy4ig7U2naDlMROJ2-QldBoCxwgQAvD_BwEMidway through, we show love to our sponsor The ChitChatChai, whose blends slow the room down and help you find your center again.Sponsor Link:https://www.thechitchatchai.com/This episode is for anyone quietly rebuilding, choosing intention over urgency, and learning to check in with themselves without judgment.
