When Enough Never Feels Like Enough


Listen Later

In this deeply honest fireside-style episode, Nola cracks open a quiet truth so many high-achieving, high-caring people carry but rarely name out loud:


Why doesn’t it ever feel like we’ve done enough?


From spiraling over 25 Christmas books and first-class Santa train tickets to shrinking in professional rooms with “more traditional” lawyers, Nola explores how internalized pressure — not outside expectations — can make even a full, beautiful life feel insufficient.


She unpacks:

  • ​ how childhood conditioning ties our worth to usefulness
  • ​ why identity, culture, & comparison make “enough” feel impossible
  • ​ the myth that we all have the same 24 hours
  • ​ the fear behind wanting to give our kids magic
  • ​ the grief of limited capacity
  • ​ the truth that presence matters more than performance


This episode isn’t a five-step fix — it’s a human moment. A confession. A mirror.

A breath for anyone who keeps showing up with tenderness even when they’re tired.


If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re falling behind — or falling short — this conversation is the permission you didn’t know you needed.


You’re not too much.

You’re not behind.

And you are already enough.
