Listen "When Is Enough Truly Enough?"
Episode Synopsis
Ever feel like you’re on a treadmill that someone else set the speed for? In this episode, we ask one deceptively simple question: When is enough, enough?We go wherever the conversation leads—ambition vs fulfilment, the trap of “more,” childhood drivers that shape adult success, stillness as a power move, and why “I’ll be happy when…” keeps moving the goalposts. Expect straight talk, real-world stories, and a practical reflection exercise you can try today.In this episode:· The difference between progress and the endless pursuit of “more”· How early conditioning fuels overwork and status-chasing· Stillness, presence, and the simple joy of a coffee on the back deck· Corporate ladders, golden handcuffs, and the identity crisis that follows· Money, meaning, and why “enough” is an inside job· A 60-minute phone-free experiment to reset your internal compassTry this: Find a quiet spot without your phone. Sit for an hour. Ask yourself: What is enough for me—right now? Notice what comes up without judging it.Chapters 0:00 Intro & Season Two vibe 1:36 The question: “When is enough, enough?” 4:55 Wanting more vs feeling fulfilled 9:42 Presence, coffee, birdsong – and why it matters 14:18 Childhood drivers, voids, and approval loops 20:31 Careers, status, and the treadmill effect 27:15 Money ≠ meaning – real talk on “stupid money” 34:08 Identity beyond titles 40:52 The one-hour stillness challenge 44:30 Closing thoughts & what to do nextIf this resonated:· Subscribe for more candid conversations that blend business, mindset, and meaning.· Share this with someone who’s sprinting on the treadmill.· Comment: What does “enough” look like for you right now?New episodes drop weekly – so make sure to follow or subscribe to stay up to date.
