Podcasts about Never Enough

Roe v. Wade was never enough. Reproductive justice advocates have been saying that for decades. So why did so much of the reproductive rights movement organize itself around protecting Roe anyway?  In this solo episode, Imani Gandy explores how legal arguments became the center of the fight for abortion rights, what got lost in the process, and why public health researchers and reproductive justice advocates were often telling a different story. From Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' anti-abortion roadmap in Box v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky to the public health findings of the Turnaway Study, this episode asks what happens when a movement builds itself around a court decision—and what is left when that decision is gone.

Some people don't just achieve, they achieve as though their life depends on it. In this deeply honest episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I sit down with Esther Marshall, former global gender diversity leader at Unilever and founder of Sophie Says, to ask a question so many of us avoid: who are you when achievement isn't enough?This is a conversation about grief, high achievement, emotional resilience, and the pressure of holding everything together when life refuses to cooperate. Esther shares her story with extraordinary openness: losing her sister Rebecca to suicide, caring for grandparents through Alzheimer's, a miscarriage during IVF, and losing her mother to pancreatic cancer, all while building a business and refusing to stop proving herself. It is also the story of the breakthrough that finally let her stop failing quietly and start succeeding loudly. If you have ever tied your worth to what you achieve, this one will stay with you.If you or someone you know is affected by anything discussed in this episode, you can contact Samaritans free, 24/7, on 116 123 or at samaritans.org.What We Cover:00:00 Intro01:30 Why "High Achiever" Can Tip Into "Never Enough"04:41 Climbing the Ladder at Unilever, and Being "Hard to Manage"10:14 Leading a Team When Your Standards Are Sky High11:37 The Maternity Leave Project That Became Sophie Says14:29 Losing Rebecca to Suicide16:34 The Book Written the Night She Passed Away20:21 The Rainbow, and Learning to Let People In21:29 Carrying a Legacy, and the Weight That Comes With It23:08 Alzheimer's, and Grief That Wouldn't Stop24:18 IVF, Miscarriage, and Learning to Keep Going25:48 The "Miracle" Baby, and a Mother's Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis30:13 Why She Chose to Run a Marathon the Day Her Mum Died34:52 The Therapy Breakthrough That Changed Everything38:46 "I'm Failing Quietly, but I Want to Succeed Loudly"41:00 Building Sophie Says Into a Movement for Generational Change48:53 Learning to Walk Before Running Again50:13 A Message for Anyone Sitting in Fear, Ready to Begin51:40 What Courage Really Means to EstherKey Reflections:• Why high achievement can quietly become a form of self-harm• Why grief isn't something you "get over," and why returning to normal too quickly often makes healing harder• How to separate your self-worth from your achievements and results• Why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness• How changing the way you frame a failure can completely reshape your life• Why children need emotionally safe parents, not perfect onesEsther's honesty is a reminder that courage isn't the absence of pain, it's getting up and showing up through it.

In Episode 349 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with mindset expert, transformational coach, and entrepreneur Stacey Berger for a powerful conversation about why external success is never enough if it comes at the cost of fulfillment, purpose, and personal well-being. Stacey shares her journey from growing a corporate subsidiary from a million-dollar balance sheet to $60 million, to realizing that the career she once loved no longer aligned with the life she wanted to create.This episode explores burnout, leadership, work-life harmony, mindset, purpose, and the hidden beliefs that keep high achievers stuck. Stacey opens up about the hospital wake-up call that changed everything, the decision that helped her double her income while working half the hours, and why success begins by asking better questions. For entrepreneurs, executives, and ambitious leaders, this conversation is a reminder that you can never outperform your mindset, and that building a life you love starts with choosing a different way forward.Key Takeaways: You can never outperform your mindset. Your beliefs ultimately determine the actions you take, the opportunities you see, and the results you create.Success without fulfillment will eventually catch up to you. Titles, income, and achievements are not substitutes for purpose, alignment, and joy.Burnout often disguises itself as ambition. Many high performers don't realize they're burning out because they view exhaustion as a normal part of success.The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask. Replacing "I can't" with "What if I could?" opens the door to new possibilities and solutions.Work-life balance is a myth. True success comes from creating harmony between the different areas of your life rather than trying to perfectly balance them.Your subconscious beliefs are driving most of your decisions. If you want different results, you must first identify and challenge the beliefs that are shaping your behavior.Purpose does not need to be complicated. Knowing what gives you life, energy, growth, freedom, and fulfillment is often enough to start moving in the right direction.Success is not about working longer, harder, and faster. Sustainable success comes from combining the right mindset with the right strategy rather than relying on hustle alone.If you are unhappy, waiting rarely changes anything. Transformation often begins with a decision to stop accepting the status quo and take responsibility for your own happiness.Life is too short to live someone else's version of success. The greatest regret is often not what we did, but what we failed to pursue because fear, comfort, or circumstances convinced us to stay where we were.Get in Touch with Stacey BergerConnect with Stacey Berger on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacey-berger/Learn more about Stacey's coaching, programs, and transformational work:www.staceyberger.caGet your tickets for Passion to Purpose Live, happening in October 2026:https://staceyberger.thrivecart.com/ppl-super-early-bird/

Brooke Taylor spent more than a decade inside high-performance environments, including leadership roles at Google, before turning her attention to a question that many accomplished professionals quietly wrestle with: why does achievement so often fail to produce a lasting sense of fulfillment? In this conversation, she examines what she calls the "success wound" — the tendency to attach self-worth to performance, recognition, and external measures of success. Drawing from her own experience with burnout, addiction recovery, career advancement, and entrepreneurship, she explains how these patterns develop and why they continue to shape behavior long after professional success has been achieved. Among the key insights discussed: The root cause of many workplace struggles is not a lack of capability but an unhealthy relationship between achievement and identity. When self-worth becomes dependent on performance, even meaningful accomplishments can feel insufficient. Many high achievers operate from a small set of recurring beliefs, including "I have to prove my value through productivity," "If I fail, I am a failure," or "I am only as valuable as other people's opinions." These beliefs often drive behaviors such as overwork, perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, and chronic dissatisfaction. Sustainable fulfillment comes more from how work is approached than from the specific role, title, or employer. Taylor argues that changing working habits and thought patterns frequently produces greater satisfaction than changing jobs. Emotional regulation begins with recognizing how stress, fear, and inadequacy are experienced physically. Rather than suppressing difficult emotions, she outlines a practical process for identifying them, understanding what they are communicating, and responding with curiosity rather than avoidance. Lasting behavioral change requires action, not insight alone. Taylor explains why taking deliberate "opposite actions" can be more effective than endless analysis when attempting to break entrenched habits. The discussion also explores addiction recovery, the role identity plays in sustaining behavior change, the hidden cost of codependency in professional life, and why many forms of burnout stem from carrying responsibilities that do not belong to us. Throughout the conversation, Taylor offers a thoughtful perspective on ambition, personal growth, and leadership. Her central argument is that professional success becomes more sustainable when it is no longer asked to answer questions of worth, belonging, or identity. For leaders navigating demanding careers, the episode provides a practical framework for examining the assumptions that drive performance and for building a healthier relationship with achievement itself.

What if your binge eating, emotional eating, or bulimia wasn't really about food or your body at all? In this episode, I explore eating disorders through the lens of insecure (especially disorganized) attachment. We look at how early wounds around love, safety, and reliability show up as control over food and the body — and why weight loss alone never seems to solve the deeper craving.I share why traditional diagnoses often fall short, how attachment styles shape our relationship with food, and why the real healing might not be about “fixing” ourselves… but about finally feeling what we've been running from.Sign up for Soul Huddles [here]

Are you feeling spiritually sluggish, "weighed down," or desensitized to the things of God? In Week 6 of our series, The Hygiene of My Heart, we diagnose a pathogen that our modern world often laughs off, but one that the Great Physician takes very seriously: Gluttony.Using the Greek concept of Hygies—meaning to be sound, healthy, and whole—Pastor Charlie Grimes explores how gluttony is far more than just a physical struggle with food. It is a spiritual "nutrient deficiency" where we use physical consumption—whether food, media, or shopping—to temporarily numb a hunger that only an eternal God can satisfy.In this message, you will discover:The False Satiety Trap: How nature shows us that it's possible to be "full" on the outside while literally starving on the inside.Eternity in the Heart: Why physical "shortcuts" can never fill a soul designed for infinite satisfaction (Ecclesiastes 3:11).The "Drowsiness" Diagnostic: Identifying the spiritual "brain fog" and "drowsiness" caused by over-consumption (Proverbs 23:21).The Information Diet: Practical ways to apply Philippians 4:8 to your daily digital and mental intake.The Cure:To fight this pathogen, we introduce Vitamin S (Self-Control)—the essential micronutrient that regulates our intake and keeps us from being mastered by our impulses. We conclude with the Sacrament of Communion, where we stop reaching for counterfeits and feast on the only true "Bread of Life" who satisfies the soul (John 6:35).Big Idea: Gluttony is a spiritual malnutrition that uses physical consumption to mask our true hunger for the Great Physician.Key Scriptures: Philippians 3:18–21; Proverbs 23:19–21; Ecclesiastes 3:11; John 6:35.#Faith #Sermon #CharlieGrimes #SpiritualHealth #HeartHygiene #Gluttony #SelfControl #Communion #ChristianLiving

How to navigate friendship at work without losing the relationship, with Brooke TaylorShe's your lunch buddy, your Slack confidante, your person at work. But what happens when boundaries get blurry, or you start sensing competition where there used to be camaraderie? Workplace friendships between women are some of the most meaningful connections we form as adults, and some of the most complicated to maintain.In this episode, Danielle sits down with executive career coach and former Google marketing lead Brooke Taylor to tackle three of the most common questions women ask about navigating friendship at work. They dig into why mismatched expectations between "colleagues first" and "friends first" cause so much friction, how the success wound fuels jealousy and comparison with the women closest to you, and what happens when entrepreneur friendships blur the line between support and strategy-sharing.

In this episode, Kimberly Snyder and Brooke Taylor explore the deep roots of success related struggles, sharing insights on how cultural and intergenerational beliefs shape our worth. Brooke's practical-spiritual approach offers tools to align your ambitions with your authentic self, ending the cycle of never feeling enough.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Success Wound02:54 Cultural Influences on Self-Worth05:58 The Archetypes of Success Wound09:02 The Grinder and the Pleaser12:04 The Hider and the Impact of Motherhood15:06 Navigating Ambition and Personal Power18:08 Finding Your North Star19:32 The Journey of Writing and Self-Discovery22:05 Navigating Vulnerability and Intentions in Publishing25:49 The Archetypes of Success and Their Impact29:30 Healing the Success Wound: Emotional and Behavioral Strategies34:41 Finding Wholeness Through Connection and AbundanceSponsors: LMNTOFFER: Right now, for my listeners LMNT is offering a free sample pack with any LMNT drink mix purchase at DrinkLMNT.com/FEELGOOD.

Most of us are building our worth on things that were never meant to hold it — performance, approval, achievement — and when those things shift, so does everything else. Let's unpack why that happens and what it looks like to finally stop living like your worth is on trial.

We live in a culture chasing “enough”—enough money, enough security, enough control—believing it will finally bring peace. But the truth is, enough is never enough to fund your peace. In this message from Proverbs 11:25. Dr. Ernest Grant, II unpacks how peace isn't found in what you accumulate, but in what you're willing to surrender.

In this episode of Dear Sherry, I respond to a listener's honest message about constantly feeling “not enough” despite achieving goals and pushing themselves. We explore how these patterns are formed in the unconscious mind and why insight alone isn't enough to create change. You'll learn how beliefs, identity, and emotional memory shape behavior—and how to begin shifting them.KEY TAKEAWAYSWhy achievement still doesn't create a feeling of “enough”How unconscious beliefs are formed through emotion and identityThe link between childhood experiences and adult self-sabotageWhy awareness is the starting point for real behavior changeHow to revisit and reframe old beliefs safely and effectivelyThe shift from proving yourself → living from internal safety and enoughnessWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change!

For this week, we are taking a break from James to look at Ecclesiastes 3 and see how everything has a season, each a gift. If you are interested in this topic, I would recommend the book, Everything is Never Enough by Bobby Jamieson. It is one of the better books I've read so far this year.  

Most people think the “never enough” voice in their head is the thing keeping them motivated.The voice that says:You should be doing more.You're behind.You're wasting time.You should be further along by now.But here's the plot twist: that voice isn't unique to you.Almost everyone hears it.The difference is not who hears it. The difference is who builds their life around it.The question is whether you've mistaken it for wisdom.In this episode, we unpack the sneaky way self-contempt disguises itself as responsibility, ambition, discipline, or drive. We talk about why so many people accidentally partner with an inner critic they think is helping them succeed—while constantly moving the finish line and dismissing their growth.We also explore:• why high-capacity people are especially vulnerable to this mindset• the difference between healthy conviction and chronic internal criticism• how the “never enough” voice fuels burnout, shame, comparison, and hopelessness• why progress becomes invisible when contempt is your measuring stick• how curiosity creates transformation more effectively than self-hatred ever willOur Pre-Marriage E-course is like coaching from your couch. What's inside?✅ 6 bite-sized video sessions (30 min each)✅ 50-page workbook to guide real conversations✅ Topics on communication, conflict, intimacy, money & moreDon't just plan your wedding—prepare for your marriage!➡️ Buy the course  [cl Support the show-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GRAB Jenna's Summer Course Here >>> Become a sponsor of our shows

In Bobby Jamieson's excellent book, "Everything is Never Enough," Jamieson argues that humans are not autonomous because they depend on creation. Since people depend on forces outside themselves for survival, and because they did not create themselves and cannot sustain themselves, Jamieson says people are not their own. But the thesis of his book is that life is a gift from God. Are these two claims compatible? Dan says no.  Link to mentioned sermon: Escaping Babylon Episode 49 YouTube Channel: Surprising God Dan's books: Confident Humility The Training of KX12 Send Questions To: Surprising God on X: @SurprisingGodFacebook: SurprisingGod Dan on X: @thatdankent

In this episode we're joined by Bobby Jamieson as we discuss his most recently published book, Everything is Never Enough. Jamieson's book is a resonate survey of the truths of Ecclesiastes applied to the modern day. We talk about the complexity of Ecclesiastes and its evangelistic potential. We touch on receiving life as a gift, learning to relinquish control, and the art of writing.Resources Mentioned:Everything is Never Enough by Bobby JamiesonSermons on Ecclesiastes by Bobby JamiesonThe Uncontrollability of the World by Hartmut RosaResonance by Hartmut RosaPilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie DillardThe Supper of the Lamb by Robert CaponPensees by Blaise PascalOn the Writing Life by Annie DillardPoetry by George HerbertPoetry by A.E.

It's the fears and doubts we believe that keep us from doing the things we know we need to be doing. In this episode, we're diving into how to start taking action towards what you want, and exactly what you can do to sustain it... even when the motivation is gone.

Everything is never enough. It's a feeling many of us know well, yet we struggle to name it. In this episode, we sit down with Bobby Jamieson to explore the ancient yet strikingly modern wisdom of Ecclesiastes.Bobby shares how a 2021 sermon series turned into a personal spiritual challenge, forcing him to wrestle with the "vanity" of life and the pursuit of satisfaction. From stories of raising his four kids to deep insights on evangelism and apologetics, Bobby helps us piece together the "big picture" of a book that often feels like a riddle. If you've ever felt the emptiness of having it all or wondered why our modern world feels increasingly lonely, this conversation offers a profound look at how the Bible meets our search for purpose.Bobby Jamieson is the author of several books, including Sound Doctrine: How a Church Grows in the Love and Holiness of God, Going Public: Why Baptism Is Required for Church Membership, Jesus' Death and Heavenly Offering in Hebrews, The Paradox of Sonship: Christology in The Epistle to the Hebrews, and The Path to Being a Pastor: A Guide for the Aspiring.Native Exiles is a podcast from Alderwood Community Church, where we talk about following Jesus in the tension of being in the world but not of it.

We are coming back to a topic this week that has been a part of the show since the very beginning - manifesting abundance. We first talked about this 5 years ago, but we haven't focused on it for a while. We felt like it was a good time to revisit the topic. When we are speaking about abundance we don't just mean money, we mean abundance in time, in joy, in happiness.    We talk about how easy it is to slip into a scarcity mindset and how that can quietly affect everything from our relationships, our mood, the way we show up day to day. We share a few personal stories, including a moment where a simple shift in mindset completely changed an experience, and get into how the people around us can either reinforce scarcity or help us see things differently. It's an honest conversation about what this looks like in real life, the small things that help like gratitude and awareness, and the ongoing work of choosing a different perspective. Let's dive in!

Brooke Taylor is a former Google executive turned researcher and coach who has spent years studying a phenomenon called the success wound —interviewing more than 5,000 women to understand why so many accomplished, capable people still feel like it's never enough.Her new book, Healing the Success Wound: Align Your Ambition, Find Lasting Career Fulfillment, and End the Cycle of Never Enough, puts language—and solutions—to something I think so many of us have felt but couldn't quite articulate.In our conversation, we unpackWhat the “success wound” really is…Why achievement can become a stand-in for self-worth…The five archetypes of high achievers who struggle with fulfillment…And how all of this shows up not just in our careers, but in our finances, our relationships, and even how we parent.We also talk about Brooke's own turning point—what she calls her “spiritual awakening breakdown”—and how it led her to rethink everything she thought she knew about work, ambition, and identity.
