From Rebecca Lynn Pope Explains The Power Of Becoming a "Soft Wife" · · PortiaShow
“The toughest part about making a transition from hard wife to soft wife is ego — we take on so much vanity and arrogance and ego and think that we have to be all these things in order to be successful or to be respected or to be loved; getting back into the essence of who we are as women is being loved for who we are, not about performance.”
On , Rebecca Lynn, Managing partner at Cambrian at Cambrian Ventures, spoke about ego during Rebecca Lynn Pope Explains The Power Of Becoming a "Soft Wife" on PortiaShow.
Rebecca Lynn Pope, a certified life and love coach and author, appeared on the television show "Portia" in October 2023 to discuss the concept of a "soft wife life." Pope described the term as a shift from a "hard wife life," which she characterized by being overwhelmed and out of balance, toward a state of peace, work-life balance, and interdependence with a partner. She stated that femininity is a "superpower" and contrasted it with masculinity, which she described as ambition and drive. Pope said that her husband now pays 90% of their household bills, allowing her income to be invested, and that the most difficult part of the transition was overcoming ego. Pope said she had been married for nearly 10 years and described the early years as "Rocky," with poor communication and a lack of emotional safety. She said that about four years ago she began praying for "more ease and flow" after becoming exhausted from running multiple companies. Pope attributed the change in her relationship to her own healing work and said that the shift required letting go of the belief that she had to perform to be loved or respected.
