The Power of Softness – Kelly Prehn’s Brave Message
They’ll judge you for your softness
They’ll say you’re “too emotional,” “too sensitive,” “too kind”
But your softness is your strength
Your sensitivity is your power
And your kindness is your greatest gift to this world
Don’t let the cruelty or the harshness of others harden you
Don’t let their negativity change the beautiful heart you have
Because your softness, your ability to love deeply
And your empathy are the very things that set you apart
These are your superpowers
✨Here’s 3 ways I’ve stayed soft, even when life felt hard:
When I was modeling in Japan
People often told me I had to toughen up, to develop a thicker skin
1️⃣But I refused to let their words shape me
Instead, I leaned into my softness
2️⃣I embraced my emotions and used them to fuel my creativity and my work
I learned to protect my energy and to set boundaries, while still keeping my heart open
3️⃣There’s strength in being soft
In a world that tells us to be cold and calculating
Staying empathetic and kind is a radical act of bravery
It’s easy to become hardened by the world
But it takes true strength to remain soft
✨So, never let anyone turn your heart cold
Your softness is what makes you unique, it’s what makes you beautiful
And while the world might try to tell you
That being emotional or empathetic is a weakness, it’s the exact opposite
Your ability to stay open-hearted and kind
Even in the face of negativity, is what will carry you through life with grace
Stay soft, stay open, and keep loving deeply
Our world needs more women like you
And no amount of ugliness can take away your inner beauty✨
Love, Kelly

About Kelly Prehn
Kelly's journey began unexpectedly when a Models 1 agent spotted her in Covent Garden during a ballet rehearsal. Despite landing a six-figure Japanese contract immediately, upon arrival in Tokyo she was deemed 'overweight', fired and sent back to London.
Her breakthrough came when Mr. Shu of Shu Uemura recognized her potential, launching her acclaimed career as a beauty and fashion model across Asia—from Japan and Korea to China and Singapore.
Leveraging her industry expertise, Kelly transitioned from modeling to sharing beauty insights as a columnist, becoming a highly recognized advocate for niche traditional wellness and healing modalities. She was the first to bring these transformative practices to a wider audience. Her influence grows rapidly: 1.4 million books in print, tens of millions of women reached through her teachings on social media, she currently impacts 11 million women monthly—and growing.
