We Can Do Hard Things

Jon Batiste + Suleika Jaouad: WHAT IS ENOUGH?


Listen Later

How do we ever know what is enough – or feel like enough – in a world that pushes us to incessantly perform, perfect, collect, and earn?

 The extraordinary duo Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste are here for one of the richest conversations we’ve had about art, love, ambition, spirituality, and what it takes to remain ourselves. 

Together, we explore: 

- The “beast” we all carry: fear, perfectionism, control, or ambition—and how facing it is the only way out; 

- How we can all begin to alchemize our pain into creativity; and 

- How to hold onto the integrity of art, beauty, and love in a world that’s always searching for “more.” 

This conversation will help you take a deep breath and finally feel like it’s all enough – including you.  . 

And check out our prior conversations we had with Suleika, the brilliant author of The Book of Alchemy:

How to Stay Human; and

How to Turn a Mistake into Magic
