    In this episode, I’m talking about Good Enough by Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie — and why the idea of “good enough” can feel both comforting and deeply uncomfortable after cancer.   We live in a world obsessed with optimization, productivity, healing journeys, and silver linings. But what happens when you’re exhausted? When you can’t hustle your way into peace? When surviving changes you in ways that don’t fit the inspirational narrative?   I’m sharing my thoughts on perfectionism, survivorship, toxic positivity, and the pressure to constantly improve ourselves — plus why “good enough” might actually be a radical act of self-compassion.   If you’ve ever felt behind, burnt out, emotionally messy, or like you’re failing at healing, this episode is for you.
