    Unrealistic expectations and the pursuit of perfection can lead to extra stress and shame in our lives. In this episode, we explore how comparing ourselves with others can set us up for feeling like a failure. What if we let go of the need to win and instead embraced vulnerability and a values-based approach to success? Join us as we explore the benefits of authenticity over perfection.

10/10 Podcast, “Good Enough” Parents

I may be biased, but after just listening to the trailer, I am sure that this is the world’s greatest podcast. Ok, maybe not THE greatest podcast (RadioLab was pretty good) but definitely up there. Top 50? Listen and decided for your self. Definitely in the top 100–there are also a lot of terrible podcasts out there; I don’t think that top 100 is too unreasonable. And if not the top 100, it will for sure be in the top 500. There is no way it will get knocked out of that bracket. If it doesn’t show up in the Top Podcasts USA browsing category, then that is confirmation of corruption in the system. I guess we will find out.
