Am I actually good enough? Tony in anxious about making a good impression at his new job

Most of us have asked ourselves some version of this question, whether it shows up as "did I respond fast enough?" or "am I pulling my weight at home?" or just that low hum of not quite measuring up that follows us into even our best moments. In this episode, we sit with that question seriously, tracing it from Alfred Adler's inferiority complex through Brené Brown's hustle for worthiness to the Vedantic teaching that dissolves the question entirely. Then we go into a live coaching session with Tony, a tech professional who is days away from starting his dream job and already consumed by anxiety about whether he can show up fully at work while still being present for his wife and two-year-old at home. What happens in this session is quietly remarkable. Tony doesn't solve his anxiety. He listens to it. And what his inner world offers in response is the last thing anyone, including Tony, expected.
