In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on a feeling that so many of us carry - the sense that we’re not doing enough. This can show up as the never-ending to-do list, the sense of being “behind”, comparison to others, or the pressure to keep doing more. In this episode, I explore where this feeling comes from and reflect on:
- The difference between “not being enough” and “not doing enough”
- Why “enough” often feels like a moving target
- How cultural expectations shape our internal narratives
If you work with mothers (or are moving into this space), I also explore the sense of relational responsibility many practitioners carry - and why your humanness is not a limitation, but part of your work. I speak to the importance of locating yourself within a broader system, rather than positioning yourself outside of it.
If you’d like to explore the idea of “good enough” more deeply, you can also listen to:
