Do you finally hit a big goal — the weight, the revenue, the degree, the dream house — and instead of celebrating, your brain whispers, “Okay, but now you need…”?

If that just made you sigh, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Thinking Out Loud! I’m Lexie Loman, licensed therapist, and today we’re diving into the third gremlin in our Gremlins & Goats series: Never Enough Nancy.

Nancy is the shame gremlin who convinces you that peace, contentment, confidence, and worth are always just one more achievement away. Every time you check the box (lose the 10 pounds, get the certification, find the partner), she quietly raises the bar higher — leaving you stuck in an endless cycle of “never enough.”

In this episode, we explore:

• How Never Enough Nancy shows up in everyday life (deflecting compliments, skipping celebrations, feeling “basic” after big purchases, and more)
• Why chasing the next goal will never fill the internal hole
• The simple, powerful Gremlins & Goats practice: Bleat “Shaaa-ame!” then drop one big truth bomb to starve the gremlin and feed your peace
• My personal story of battling Nancy through college, grad school, certifications, and material milestones — until I finally learned I was enough exactly as I was

You don’t have to stop growing — you just get to stop growing from lack.

Practicing this builds more peace and gratitude than years of chasing ever will. Good enough is feast for your goat.
