Solo Episode: Navigating Change and the Seasonal Shift

In today's solo episode, we explore the concept of "enough." American culture tends to send us constant messages that we need more. We enter this  hedonic cycle that leads very quickly to burnout. Yet, when will we discern what having or even being enough actually means. During this episode, I walk us through some prompts to explore the topic more closely. And I welcome you to check out the Receiving the Good Practice I mention in this show here.
