Today, I’m bringing back a conversation that feels especially relevant right now, in that quiet space between Christmas and New Year’s when reflection can quickly turn into self-judgment. I share a very real moment when my own “I should be further ahead” thoughts showed up, even as a coach who teaches this work, and walk you through the exact tools I use to redirect not-enough thinking. This episode is grounding, practical, and a powerful reminder that balance isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about learning how to come back to sufficiency and presence again and again.
Topics in this episode:
Why “I should be further ahead” is one of the most common not-enough thoughts for ambitious working moms
How not-enough thinking shows up in your body, mood, and behavior (even when you don’t realize it)
The difference between immobilizing yourself and overdoing it when self-doubt kicks in
Seven practical strategies to redirect not-enough thoughts in real time
How to anchor into sufficiency, presence, and satisfaction instead of comparison and self-judgment
