Dear ones -

“Am I doing enough?”

How often do you find yourself wondering that?

"Am I doing enough when it comes to my children and whether or not they're OK?" "Am I doing enough to ensure my future and the future of the ones I love?" "Am I doing enough to love myself and be myself in the world?" "Am I doing enough to love my partner?" "Am I doing enough at work?" "Am I doing enough when it comes to mitigating climate catastrophes?" "Am I doing enough about genocide, about injustice, about corporate greed, about housing crises and skyrocketing food prices and the dehumanizing forces of the world...? "

Oof. Any of these sound familiar or remind you of another favorite worry loop? And... how do they leave you feeling?

If you’re like me, or a lot of the clients I see, or many of my friends… you probably ask a variation of this question pretty often. And it probably leaves you feeling more stressed, paralyzed and overwhelmed, burnt out.

But there’s a beautiful invitation hidden in that question, once we get past the fear (and the truth) that we might not be.

So this episode is my take on how we can let that question bring us home to ourselves and back to more aliveness.

I cover:

• what’s happening in your nervous system when you find yourself asking it;
• how you can use the discomfort of the question for good;
• a simple (and maybe even kind of fun way) to stop measuring your answer with outside metrics and instead start playing and exploring - as yourself;
• and why this might actually help you create the world you want to see - in the life you already have.

If you give the steps/ reframe a try, I’d love to hear how it went.

With appreciation,

Kate

P.S. Towards the end of next week the next round of Sanctuary opens for registration- a place to not 'do' more, but rather to 'be' more deeply nourished and you. Keep an eye out if you'd like to join us for Fall, Winter, and into early Spring. (Note: there will most likely be some small updates to the offer and the meeting day/time will change from what's currently on the website) <3
