Simply EnoughHow to Navigate Life: Life Lessons from Traffic, Episode 87Have you ever been frustrated with traffic, or even have momentary road rage? Did you know your car can be a great classroom of life? Ironically, one can learn to find joy at the same time of feeling frustrated, because switching perspectives can change a situation and environment completely. With life lessons in traffic, we can remember that we can't control others, and practice not taking things personally, and develop the skill of evaluating what our reactions are and how they might affect outcome. We can learn to let things go and choose our own path by our priorities...

Cerebral thoughts in the head can explain away the pull of what's going on in the heart. But not everything has to be by-the-book, or have a rational purposeful "Because" as an answer to the "Why". Affirm when it's ok to the moved by the heart, and not just led by the head. Sometimes, that internal pull of "I want to" is a good enough reason to left go of resistance. The still small voice inside you can get louder, because it's actually You taking care...

Have you looked at what you're consuming? Just like food is nutrition for physical health, then for emotional and mental health, examine what you ingest and allow in too. Be mindful of what lifts versus what weighs down your spirit. Take control and be the subject, not the object, of your life sentences. You are your own chef de cuisine. Habitual thoughts don't have to be permanent if they're unhealthy junk food; old habitual choices can be replaced, perspectives can...

Is that the best way to be helpful? Other people's energies can swirl around but you can stay grounded in peace, to be of service. Taking on drama won't necessarily mitigate it. Misery loves company, but commiserating might actually perpetuate the storm. You can have compassion and empathy for their reality without taking on their emotional state. By being mindful and taking inventory of priorities and values, you can triage where your energy and focus are directed rather than scattered-- because the energy vampires...

Opinions aren't facts, whether they come from others or come from your Self, yet it's easy to believe opinions as unwavering truth. Don't take other people's impressions and limiting opinions as your own lived experience. Don't stop yourself or hold yourself back based on someone else's projected self-limiting beliefs.

2023-10-0339 minSimply EnoughHow To Replace Negative Self-Talk, Episode 80Have you ever berated yourself? What do you say? Do words of self doubt reverberate in your head? We are constantly sending messages to ourselves and to others. Talk to yourself like you would to a beloved friend. Feel free to debate yourself rather than swallow the negative soliloquy. Condemning words are like self-inflicted wounds with the salt of shame being rubbed in it. With affirming self talk, replace the double-negative of compounding shame and blame. Words matter, but words don’t teach— practiced experience does.
2023-09-2538 minSimply EnoughHow to shift gears during life transitions, Episode 79Have you ever felt lost, navigating transitions in your life? Events and situations can feel herky-jerky at times, but if you can acknowledge the suck and also know that it won’t always feel this way, you can love and grieve at the same time. Feeling comfortable and safe isn’t always what best serves you. You can go beyond a wish and act on a hope, to not only transition, but transform and transcend anything that comes your way!
2023-09-1942 minSimply EnoughHow To Think Yourself Younger, Episode 78As a kid, did you ever have an old curmudgeon of a teacher, and you swore you would never grow up to be like that person? Or, as an adult now, do you look at younger generations with disdain, while they look at you and say “ok, Boomer”? There’s a lot we can learn from youth— from their open-mindedness, and their shameless willingness to say “I don’t know, but let me try”. Learning isn’t just wisdom passed down from the old, but also comes from novel fresh experiences and perspectives. Don’t let the wisdom of age be wasted, nor t...

Accepting seasons of challenge allows seasons of ease to be that much more enjoyable!
2023-09-0531 minSimply EnoughHow to Rally and Do Something in honor of MAUI STRONG, Episode 76From the devastating tragedy of the fires in Maui comes clarity of what really is most important and most valuable in life. Also, in its aftermath, there were many demonstrations of how people can come together and demonstrate what kindness and generosity look like, rallying to do whatever it takes and whatever is needed to care for others. The immediacy of resiliency, figuring out what can we do and what do we have that we can give allows us to extend the Aloha Spirit wherever we are.

Have you ever felt like you were constantly chasing "more"? Yet, we are more than our possessions, acquisitions, accumulations, and titles, and Enough is actually a choice we control.

Living fulfilled rather than filling a void; addition by subtraction, rather than distraction.
2023-08-2244 minSimply EnoughHow to accept things as they are, to move on, Episode 75Have you ever driven yourself mad from wishing things were different? Not accepting things in the moment as they are, or yourself as you are, is the root of stress. We are all works in progress and living in real-time. Life doesn't have to be curated or edited. Just do things anyway. It's ok to have a "round two" or another trial. Accepting things isn't about being complacent. It's coming to a place of peace to find contentment, to then move from the current situation. And more important than a moment is your identity of who you are. It's...

There are actually tools to take control and trick your mind to get through the list to get the job done.

Then have a refreshed start. Show up for yourself and start small, to overcome inertia, and fuel momentum to be uplifted.

Working through the impasse of what love looks like on all sides can be messy. Remember to process and honor not just how that person feels, but also how your own actions are making you feel, and how you show up as a reflection of what you truly ultimately want in the end. Being “all-in” in a loving relationship can look different and the rules of engagement can evolve. Recognize when there’s nothing more you...

2023-06-2745 minSimply EnoughPride as a Virtue, Not a Sin, Episode 70Have you ever felt unworthy of feeling pride? Or paradoxically, do you view pride as shameful? Consider that pride isn’t always hubris and comparative. We can reframe how we look at the word “pride”. Mowing with or beyond heroes and holidays, pride can just mean grounded self acceptance, rather than shame, for who you are. A value of self worth equal to others. An individual declaration of enoughness, and a universal message to which all can have access. Simply an internal smile you can keep for yourself so you can say “I am worthy and I am enough, just as I am...
2023-06-2136 minSimply EnoughWhen Things Feel Complicated, Episode 69Have you ever felt uncomfortable because of mixed emotions, or even conflicting emotions? We rarely feel one thing at a time. You don’t have to choose, push away or talk yourself out of either one emotion or the other. They can exist as a “both” and an “and”! Allow the coexistence of the emotions. In fact, one emotion is likely because of the existence of the other and is often potentiated because of it! Name the emotions, because the subtle nuances of the emotions, once recognized, allow for self regulation. And in relationships, it’s actually something somewhere in the comple...
2023-06-1339 minSimply EnoughYou Are More Than Your Thoughts or Feelings, Episode 68Have you ever felt upset or overwhelmed by a situation? You don’t have to! It’s not the circumstance that’s upsetting you. It’s your thoughts about the situation that’s upsetting you. A situation or circumstance might be fact, as is. But the experience of it actually is under our control. Might there be a different thought you can have about it? Thoughts are actually under our control, even if they feel automatic. You have them, then look at them and you get to choose which to keep or drop. Give yourself a hug, and know that one tho...

2023-05-3034 minSimply EnoughTaylor Swift’s not the only one with an Eras Tour, Episode 66Like Taylor Swift, have you ever looked back on your life as eras? It’s good to reflect back and gain wisdom to move forward. Lessons can be learned from patterns of behavior or types of people that show up in multiple eras. And the good news is that we don't have to see life in finite labels of definitive beginnings and endings, but instead is a continuum of seasons. Fresh starts and new beginnings can always be ahead if you choose!
2023-05-2338 minSimply EnoughChoose Your Own Brand, Episode 65Have you ever thought about what your "brand" is? It can be a look or a logo, but can also be a principle or a standard! It can be a style, mentality, and persona. Knowing what fits or doesn't fit, and defining your brand can be an exercise grounded in who you are and how you want to represent yourself. There's accountability and ownership of what we proclaim and assert to be our "brand" versus the reality of how we show up. It's a benchmark and messaging for yourself as a reminder of how you'd like to show up...
2023-05-1632 minSimply EnoughBeware of the COMPLINSULT! Episode 64Have you ever been given a backhanded compliment that actually was a veiled insult? What do you do with it? Instead of throwing an aggression back, you could pose a question back!Our Inner voice discerns what we know versus what we believe or how we receive what someone’s thrown us. And tone matters— the tone of our inner voice, as well as that of the messenger. There are more things than just what’s said that holds meaning! You can stand with your belief when boundaries are crossed, and get activated, rather than triggered, with a strong...
2023-05-0937 minSimply EnoughThat was a Compliment?! Episode 63What do you do when you're given a backhanded compliment? Are you tempted to throw a zinger back? Was it a veiled insult, a subconscious microaggression, or a misunderstood comment? When gifted a compliment that left us unsettled or even hurt, we can examine with curiosity how we receive the comment, to then have a discerned response, rather than an emotional reaction. We can choose how to take it regardless of how they intended to give it, and also have grace and awareness when we also give a compliment that could have a dual meaning. Compliments are the gifts t...
2023-05-0236 minSimply EnoughWhen Being Defensive Can Be Offensive, Episode 62Have you ever reacted defensively but regretted it? When someone has a wrong idea of you, it’s easy to sit in a place of defensiveness. But when reacting from that place, people might not hear your actual message, and instead notice behaviors and mannerisms which undermine your message. Use your body’s reactions as signals and indicators, to distance yourself, and then look at what’s really the piece that’s bothering you. That way, rather than having to defend yourself, you can deliver your message, and demonstrate who you really are.

2023-04-261h 01Simply EnoughWhen Someone Doesn't Like You, Episode 61Have you ever felt hurt when someone didn't like you? How long did you let that bother you? It's amazing the mental bandwidth we use when we worry that someone doesn't like us! But when we focus on if others like us, that takes us out of ourselves. Not being liked isn't a valuation of your worth! And our thoughts about not being liked hurt us more than not being liked itself. We lost ourselves if we focus on winning over others. Find freedom in knowing you don't have to strive for a "100% A+ average" of getting everybody to...

Who trains whom? Pets model living mindfully present in the moment. They help us examine what motivates us and what our habits are, and teach us about innate personality. They’re guides for managing expectations, and ownership of our own behavior. And most naturally and authentically, they gift us with their acceptance and unconditional love of ourselves just as we are.

When you are sitting in alignment with what juices you and lights you up, then you are living purposely, and Purposefully. Sharing what comes naturally for you as your gift is impactful and serves purpose. Living and sharing your passion is an invitation to know more about you. And if you think what you’re passionate about might not be...
2023-03-2835 minSimply EnoughIntentional Acts of Kindness, Episode 57Have you ever been on the giving or receiving end of kindness? When you really think about it, they were intentional, not random acts! Good is everywhere, and we can choose to be kind. We can practice intentional kindness until it’s reflexive, knowing there is no measure or threshold for kindness, and can appear in different ways. The more we see it, and the more we’re open to it, the more we want to participate in it, because kindness is contagious, addicting, and can be repaid abundantly!
2023-03-2139 minSimply EnoughYes! You DO have a Superpower! Episode 56Have you ever felt there’s nothing special about you? Yet actually, we all have superpowers!

Let's not take ourselves too seriously, and let's live every moment in the moment, and recognize the moment passes. Find laughter, knowing that life is to be lived, not avoided!
2023-02-2847 minSimply EnoughGive Yourself Permission to be Angry, Episode 31 (re-release)Have you ever felt an emotion like anger, and then felt guilty about it? It's okay to be angry! An emotion, like anger, in and of itself isn't bad. Have it, recognize it, release it, and move forward. It's not whether to express it or not. It's the choice of how to express it that heals. Whether it's by what you do or what you say, make the choice to express yourself for your sake, FFS.

But our question is - do you need to explain and always have an answer? Sometimes the need to justify actually can hinder someone from taking action and follow one’s passion and calling. For ourselves and for others, isn’t it better to come from a place of love rather than condemnation, and encouragement rather than obstacles?

There’s peace in a deep breath...
2023-01-0229 minSimply EnoughNew Year's Objectives, not Resolutions, Episode 49Do you set resolutions for the new year, but soon abandon them? Consider being objective-driven rather than goal-oriented, to set yourself in the right direction. An objective is about limitless opportunity and possibility, whereas a goal is finite and concrete, as if a zero-sum game. An objective is a beacon beyond you that is calling you, and goals are the microscopic steps aiming forward. Missteps in the direction of an objective doesn’t mean halting or abandoning the journey. Celebrate the successes along the way and encourage the developing identity in the direction of transformation, resolving not just what you...

The holidays come from your Light within, rather than external. Let go of activities on an idealized to-do list, to experience and extend the simple, distilled reasons for the season— peace, love, joy, faith and hope, really and actually.
2022-11-2937 minSimply EnoughA Life of ThanksLiving, Episode 44Have you ever felt the pressure, or the letdown, from wanting the holidays to be perfect? But the holidays can come alive more as feelings in one’s heart, rather than outer events. Build upon the foundation of sentiments that make a holiday real. The universal language of gratitude is contagious and life giving! Rather than one day on the calendar, live a life of Thanks-living, thinking of specific things from boogers to moo-cows, and the family you were given and the family you’ve chosen and gained. You won’t look at things the same way when you see life...
2022-11-2255 minSimply EnoughSpeak Your Truth, Episode 43Have you ever made yourself small to make someone else comfortable? Or muted your voice, prioritizing someone else’s reaction over your sense of self? Being different isnt something to be hidden! We’re all unique but not “less than”. Rather than avoiding messy conversations, we can have the courage to be true to one’s self, and also be the one who affirms who others are, being the one to shut up and listen as another gives voice to their story.
2022-11-1539 minSimply EnoughSaying Yes to No, Episode 42Have you ever felt out of balance with work and life? Are you uncomfortable saying No, or only feel valuable if you say yes to everything everybody asks of you? Discern between the wins and losses of how you spend energy, filling rather than depleting your buckets. Take a pause between the Ask and the Answer, before saying yes or no, so your mindful choice is authentic, rather than out of fear, obligation, or guilt. Let's navigate where to direct our energies, led by the compass of our values and priorities just as they are!
2022-11-0841 minSimply EnoughAwaken Your Dreams, Episode 41Have you ever felt a dream is out of reach? Or felt guilty letting go of a dream? There are differences between fate and destiny, or a wish and a dream! Don’t squash your voice- Be wide awake and alert and willing to be all in, taking the no’s and the knocks. Then, with clarity of intention, apply the goals, apply the work, and invest in yourself! Discern when the idealized dream is actually a nightmare, and it’s ok to have a nuanced dream, or a new dream altogether! Alignment with who you are and what your goa...
2022-11-0149 minSimply EnoughMasks and Costumes: Do They Cover or Reveal? Episode 40Have you ever felt safer behind a mask, or emboldened by wearing one? We definitely have, and that’s ok! Self discovery can occur by donning masks, or by lifting them, and can affect how we show up in the world. Masks can free and liberate, or can confine and hide, like a barrier to connection. It all depends on how we use masks as a tool, rather than a permanent facade or shield to remain unseen. Exploring who you are as a person might first start by donning a persona, as a means of self expression, to ultimately conne...
2022-10-2539 minSimply EnoughWanna Play? Episode 39Have you ever felt like life is all work, no play? Now more than ever, we all need a little more play. Declare your recess time - go bananas, choose your walk up song, and grant yourself permission to play! Play is a language, to communicate and learn, and is integral to the human experience. With wonder, curiosity, and creativity, lean in to the opportunities to regain the joy of the sport, the work, the lesson, or the relationship!Play is valuable, worthwhile, healthy, beneficial, and necessary… but most of all, is fun!
2022-10-1859 minSimply EnoughThe Joy of Learning, Episode 38Have you ever felt like you didn’t know enough, or shamed for not knowing more? Have you ever made yourself small, afraid the Know-It-Alls might expose you? We know that feeling, and you’re not alone. But learning isn’t always about having the “right” answer (as if there’s always only one). Enjoy the expanse of learning, as opposed to the limits of knowing “for sure”! We can keep a sense of youthful wonder, by listening rather than hearing, and learning more than knowing. It’s at the leading edge of innovation, exploring what we don’t know, where we experie
2022-10-1146 minSimply EnoughJust Ask! Episode 37Have you ever been voluntold, instead of asked? We can recognize the moments when a decision is taken from us, and also avoid doing that to someone else. Rather than allowing someone to think for you, invite a person to ask, and use your voice to answer! And when we ourselves think for others, with a litany of disclaimers, as a way to “protect” us from rejection, embarrassment, or disappointment, we actually limit ourselves by removing opportunity and possibility! Get the “data points” by asking, rather than nebulous assumptions. We have a role in how people treat us, and we have the...
2022-10-0450 minSimply EnoughEnough Already, Episode 36Have you ever felt like you were constantly chasing "more"? Yet, we are more than our possessions, acquisitions, accumulations, and titles, and Enough is actually a choice we control. Looking at what we have rather than what we're missing frees us for living and experiencing, instead of numbing and buffering. We can be mindful and sensual, to experience the fireworks in our lives. Living fulfilled rather than filling a void; addition by subtraction, rather than distraction.
2022-09-2744 minSimply EnoughThe Gift of Saying Thank You, Episode 35Have you ever felt uncomfortable receiving a compliment? Or wished someone expressed just a bit of gratitude? Beyond etiquette or social graces, expressing thanks is an opportunity to connect with others and personally with one's self. There is a continuum from approval to appreciation, and ultimately to gratitude. Being open to receiving is a skill to be practiced, and a Thank You is the gift we give in return, and also the gift we give ourselves when we stop to take a moment to express it and mean it. Let's move from an annual day of Thanksgiving to a spi...
2022-09-2047 minSimply EnoughThe Fear of Regret, Episode 34Have you ever regretted holding yourself back, or kicked yourself with the thought “if only I had …” ? Delete the narrative you tell yourself that keeps you from being bold! A missed opportunity is a bigger deal than the fear of a little temporary awkwardness, embarrassment or rejection. Practice recognizing the opportunity of Now, and embolden yourself, to ask and go after what you want. Weigh the risks of not doing and not trying, and the regret of things you didn’t do over what you did do. Go for it!
2022-09-1349 minSimply EnoughNew Beginnings, Episode 33Have you ever been afraid to try something new? Don’t wait to be invited— invite yourself to possibilities, and create new opportunities! Impress yourself for your first impressions. Celebrate your courage to show up, and your daring to be in the room or to stand in the arena, to be a part of what’s New, because that where life is meant to be lived.
2022-09-0647 minSimply EnoughIn The Moment, Episode 32Have you ever avoided or anticipated something with dread? Life isn’t a dress rehearsal; it’s lived in the moment. Rehearsing fear, sadness, or dread brings more drama than peace, experiencing emotions that don’t have to be felt in advance! Consider what we bring to the present by worrying about the future. Why rehearse the suck? Instead be open to any experience, just to be in the moment as it’s happening. It is what it’s going to be. You’ll find out when you get there.
2022-08-3038 minSimply EnoughExpress Yourself, Episode 31Have you ever felt an emotion like anger, and then felt guilty about it? It's okay to be angry! An emotion, like anger, in and of itself isn't bad. Have it, recognize it, release it, and move forward. It's not whether to express it or not. It's the choice of how to express it that heals. Whether it's by what you do or what you say, make the choice to express yourself for your sake, FFS.
2022-08-2348 minSimply EnoughYou Are Not Alone, Episode 30Have you ever felt like "just" a bystander? Have you ever felt, in this perfect-selfie world, like you're the only one struggling? Know you're not alone. We can connect instead of distance, relate instead of isolate, and rather than lead One-to-Many, we can lead One-to-One, many many times. Like Dear Evan Hansen, "when you don't feel strong enough to stand, you can reach out your hand" and we will lift each other up. We're all in this together.
2022-08-1755 minSimply EnoughIt is what it is, Episode 29Have you ever felt hurt by disappointment by a friend, colleague, or partner? Rather than letting the disappointment fester, pierce it to express it, and then heal. Recognize what's in front of you the entire time. By seeing something as it is, rather than the idea or wish of what we'd like to believe, we can have memories and present experiences without tainted emotion, to wisely navigate and enjoy the different depths of relationships.
2022-08-0937 minSimply EnoughControlling Expectations, Episode 28Have you ever felt the weight of expectations, not only of yourself but of others? Do your expectations change how you show up in every situation? Connect, rather than separate, by recognizing interpretations over translations, to create a network out of individual operating systems. Since we can only control ourselves, we can self-check and turn the finger back to own and be accountable for how we show up and own our experiences.
2022-08-0242 minSimply EnoughAge is a number; Youth is a Mindset, Episode 27Have you ever believed your age defines you? You can choose if a number imprisons you or liberates you! There are different seasons of life, so don't envy youth, or apologize for lessons learned and wisdom earned. Order the chicken fingers and tater tots! Taste, save and enJOY the hot fudge sundae! You don't have to always strive to be "adulting", and you can definitely take your youth with you! Every day you wake up and have breath is a birthday, especially when you consider the alternative.
2022-07-2647 minSimply EnoughC’mon and Celebrate! Episode 26Have you ever felt in need of a pick-me-up? Y’know, “adulting” and play are not mutually exclusive. You have the choice of which lens you see the world! There are no rules; make up a holiday and spark a celebration. Let loose, woot-woot, chee hoo, laugh like Chewbacca, and the lasting memories make the celebration a gift that keeps on giving. Celebrate along the way and then life itself becomes a celebration!
2022-07-1945 minSimply EnoughUs versus Others, Episode 25Have you ever felt excluded or marginalized? Or, had difficulty empathizing with another person or group, because you haven't shared their experience or agree with their views? Not everything has to be adversarial. Curiosity is the glue that binds us, and there is more that connects us than separates us. We're all more similar than different, and awareness is a step to inclusion. If we all learn more, and judge less, we can come to the table and break bread together.
2022-07-1238 minSimply EnoughReal Friends, Deal Friends, and Boundaries, Episode 24Have you ever been in an imbalanced friendship? More giving and the other taking? Rather than feeling you need to prove or earn your value, listen to your inner GPS, and don't go by their voices and measures of your worth to them. What they think of you does not matter more than what you think of yourself. Weed the garden and flourish amongst those who love you, not for what you can do for them, but simply for you, just as you are.
2022-07-0537 minSimply EnoughDon’t Quit. Let go. Episode 23Have you ever stayed in an environment or stuck with an idea that hurts you? What’s the price of the struggle, when your gifts and talents are so taxed? Honor what makes you sing, rather than be the canary who suffocates in the coal mine. Your self worth doesn’t have to be wrapped up in the status quo, and you don’t have to fear being unravelled. You can choose to let go, release control and surrender to the possibilities and boost of what may come.
2022-06-2842 minSimply EnoughLoving Life in the Middle, Episode 22Have you ever felt you had to be all-or-nothing? Or if you're not The Best, then it's not worth doing? Recognize that there is Joy and value in the middle, and a mission can still be served from there. Give yourself permission to have joy by releasing extreme standards- Things don't have to be just right, or best ever. By getting out of our own way and being present, then the middle is where we all can meet and connect, rather than dangling alone at polar ends.
2022-06-2145 minSimply EnoughOne's Best vs. The Best, Episode 21Have you ever felt pressure to become The Best, or to maintain being The Best, or felt like a complete failure because of not being The Best? But being The Best doesn't always equate with happiness. Instead, realize that One's Best is fluid rather than static, and isn't all-or-nothing. Don't beat yourself with the ruler that only measures the mark that you missed. The measure of your value isn't distilled down to one event, so give yourself compassion to say, "For this moment, I am doing My Best."
2022-06-1449 minSimply EnoughIt's Already In You, Episode 20Have you ever wished you could believe in yourself more? A belief is just a thought you keep thinking, and self belief can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Limiting beliefs are learned, not inherent, so rather than focusing on what you lack, believe in what you can practice and build upon. Your past doesn't have to infiltrate your present. Move in the direction you choose, and if you can't believe in yourself, borrow our belief in you.
2022-06-0832 minSimply EnoughLaugh it off! Whaddya gonna do? Episode 19Have you ever thought you'd "die from embarrassment", so you opted out of a moment? It's the power we put on our belief of what embarrassment is that keeps us hamstrung from doing anything. Instead, laugh about it, learn from it, and enjoy it! Let's not take ourselves too seriously, and let's live every moment in the moment, and recognize the moment passes. Find laughter, knowing that life is to be lived, not avoided!
2022-05-3147 minSimply EnoughWho is writing your narrative? Episode 18Have you ever felt that someone has made a wrong assumption of you? Rather than worry about what others might reduce you to in their estimation, stand in a place of self-compassion. We can't control others, especially their assumptions they choose to formulate. You can't take on every battle, and you get to decide if it's even worth it to engage. You don't need to defend, prove, or protect yourself. Ask yourself, "Is it worth it? How does that serve me?" and own your answer and your narrative. Truth is in your authentic self, rather than in the assumptions of ot...
2022-05-2452 minSimply EnoughConfidence just means you're no longer a hostage to fear, Episode 17Have you ever wished you had more confidence? Confidence isn't blind arrogance, or thinking you're infallible. Honor the blooper outtakes as much as the highlight reels, because confidence isn't about the ability to succeed in a task. It's about the mindset going into it, regardless of the outcome.
2022-05-1746 minSimply EnoughLiving on the Edge, Episode 16Have you ever felt stuck? What's familiar isn't always good for you? Don't take things lying down and let people wipe their shoes on you. State your name, stand up, and step forward, to the edges of your comfort zone, just as you are!
2022-05-1040 minSimply EnoughForgiving is a Gift for you, Episode 15Have you ever held onto hurt or anger? Forgiveness isn't about the other person. And it isn't even an action. Forgiveness is a sense of peace. Gift yourself closure, untether from the offender, and decide what forgiveness looks like for you. Release the fragrance of forgiveness and cast the Lead Role in your life story, just as you are.
2022-05-0341 minSimply EnoughShow Up For Yourself, Episode 14Have you ever stopped yourself from asking for help, because you expected rejection? Recognize that while someone doesn't show up for you, they're at least showing themselves to you. You can discern, without resentment, who you put your faith in, as the antidote to poison from a snake bite. Knowing the difference between Standards vs Expectations gives you ownership of what you'll accept and what you permit, and the simple power behind, "Okay, good to know."
2022-04-2637 minSimply EnoughThere's strength in not being strong, Episode 13Have you ever felt like you'd crack on the surface, from the pressure building within? Or that you have to be strong for everyone, not just for yourself, and it's all on you? But connection comes from gifts being given AND received, so let's free ourselves from our prison towers, tear down walls and build bridges, and authentically profess, rather than confess, what we feel and need. It's not only okay. It's normal.
2022-04-1845 minSimply Enough"Be Goldilocks!" - decide what is Just Right for you, Episode 12Have you ever been told you're "too much" or "extra"? Rather than mute yourself or change to survive, learning to talk to your Self, and own what makes you different and special, to thrive. Rather than attempt to be all things to everybody, recognize your uniqueness makes you powerful, and lovable, with the `ohana you choose.
2022-04-1239 minSimply Enough"Declare to be Chair", Not a member of the committee, Episode 11Have you ever felt Less Than or Not Enough? Or rejected from a school, a job, or other people? The abstract standards of others are not under your control, and no singular attribute determines your worth. Rather than alter and become someone you weren't meant to be, instead remember, discover, and celebrate your best self!
2022-04-0544 minSimply Enough"Step out!" Put yourself out there, Episode 10Have you ever felt like fear stopped you? Or equated Risk to Failure, and Failure to Worthlessness? Put yourself out there, and make fear powerless, and embarrassment survivable as No Big Deal. Together, let's get out of our own heads, and step out to win some & learn some, and celebrate, with a touch of Grace.
2022-03-2938 minSimply EnoughSing, You Nightbirde! Episode 9Have you ever asked yourself, "Why me"? Jane Marczewski teaches us you don't have to have all the answers to have joy in the mystery, and life is amazing even when pressed. It's OK, It's Alright to feel lost sometimes.
2022-03-2236 minSimply EnoughFind your Huddle and channel your Inner Penguin! Episode 8Have you ever felt singled out for being different? Or felt stuck to the ground while others could soar, or silenced when others could sing? Learn to celebrate that you're the exception to the rule, and then dance your way to finding your colony.
2022-03-1539 minSimply Enough"Where your tent is; For now..." Tough Times are events, not identities, Episode 7Have you ever wondered how to practice joy? The Pod Couple share their stories and workout tools for exercising joy, from reps of Gratitude, to going the distance with space, grace, observation and acceptance. Using Gain versus Gap mentalities, they share how they transform "high-gravity" days to lighter ones, while eschewing toxic positivity and happy-face stickers, to recognize the semi-colons in their circumstances, and turn the page as the story continues.
2022-03-0847 minSimply EnoughHOLD MY FLAME: Lighting yourself and others up, Episode 6Have you ever truly considered what brings you joy? Unharnessed, shielded by penguins, and being the worst at a task, The Pod Couple share those moments of living purposefully without "Purpose", when they discovered their I AM statements. And if you don't believe You Are enough, borrow their belief in you, just as You Are.
2022-03-0148 minSimply Enough"Find Your Flow" - steady Joy even in turbulent times, Episode 5Have you ever pushed yourself into a state of dis-ease? From kitchens to pizza, to candles and music, we talk about being pulled into Joy, as human BEings rather than human DOings, to find inspiration, rather than motivation, to be in your flow, just as you are.
2022-02-2249 minSimply EnoughHave You Ever Thought, "What Am I Doing?" Episode 4Have you ever thought "What am I doing?!", especially when it comes to being acceptable or attractive? But by whose measures, and according to whom? The Pod Couple shares the wrestling matches they lost to Happy Pads and torture devices, and the speakers they allow into their inner dialogue.
2022-02-1548 minSimply Enough"You complete me..."??? No, You complete yourself! Episode 3Have you ever felt you needed somebody else to choose you?

You are already Whole, just as you are. Period.
2022-02-0539 minSimply Enough"Belong! Don't fit in!" says The Pod Couple, Episode 2Have you ever felt the weight of labels placed upon you, negative or positive? Zachary and Elizabeth share their personal stories of re-defining Nice, Queer and Bitch, and how they learned to be uplifted by "addition by subtraction", and help you own the label of Worthy, just as you are. Period.
2022-02-0543 minSimply EnoughSimply Enough, The Beginning, Episode 1Welcome to the inaugural episode of Simply Enough! This podcast was created to celebrate you, because you are enough, just as you are. Far too many of us have internalized narratives of not-enough-ness or too-much-ness and those pervasive narratives inhibit us from being our authentic selves. We are embarking on this journey of uncovering and digging up these stubborn, expansive roots and deciding what to do with them. Join your hosts, Dr. Elizabeth Ignacio and Mr. Zachary Linnert, as we kick off this podcast sharing who we are and what we hope for along this journey. We will laugh...
