Meaning and Moxie After 50

Finding Enough: Peace in a World of Hustle and Distractions


Listen Later

Host Leslie Maloney speaks with Barbara Burgess, author of Enough: Finding Peace in a World Full of Distractions, Hustle, and Expectations. The conversation revolves around the common feeling of "not enough," particularly among women, and how Burgess’s book provides a path to finding peace. Burgess shares a personal and touching anecdote about a child who turned her chalk drawings into planets, an experience that helped her realize the profound importance of the concept of "enough" as a state of being, not an accomplishment. This insight inspired her to write her book and share her journey with others.

The interview also explores Burgess’s personal transformation from a left-brain, corporate executive to a more intuitive, heart-centered individual. She emphasizes the importance of giving oneself permission to "be" rather than constantly "doing," and the challenges of a society that often prioritizes achievement over presence. Burgess also discusses the difference between healthy inspiration and the negative trap of comparison that comes from scrolling through social media. She concludes by offering practical advice and a weekly inspiration on her website, aimed at helping people remember to find heart and light in their daily lives.
