Today we hear from Arielle. Arielle is a gentle soul whose presence has a way of softening the room. She has navigated life with betrayal, heartbreak, OCD and chronic pain, much of which stems from being misunderstood and not believed about pain growing up. While her fears are rooted in real, tangible experiences, they've manifested in OCD. Despite the challenges Arielle has come to a place of acceptance, not because everything is perfectly managed, but because she has learned to embrace the reality of what she needs to do to live her life. She is a brave and lovely human. Enjoy Arielle's Good Enough Life

Today we hear from Lindsey. She lives on Mount Hood in Oregon. She is a crunchy mother of 3, a powerhouse of a woman who has been through a lot...a shit ton to be honest. She spent 7 years of her childhood, from 7-14 suffering immensely from a chronic and debilitating illness called dermatomyositis which she believes was a result of the emotional distress caused in large part by addiction in her childhood home. She met her ex husband when she was 19 years old and they had three incredible children together. She is recovering from alcoholism. Lindsey spent several years traveling the US in and RV with her family while she homeschooled her children, cooking three nutritious meals per day from scratch while he husband built a successful marketing firm. Lindsey's story is one of resilience, transformation and finding the strength to embrace what is good enough when life doesn't go as planned.
