How to feel good enough: Miranda struggles with feelings of inadequacy as a stay-at-home mom
Note sull'episodio
Feeling good enough is rarely a matter of doing more, and yet most of us keep answering the question that way, by adding another accomplishment, another role, another proof that we have earned our place. In this week's coaching session, "Miranda" brings that question into the room with a baby wrapped against her chest. She is a stay-at-home mom of three with an MBA, who opens LinkedIn and watches her classmates rise into the C suite, who catches herself thinking things about her children that she is ashamed to admit, and who wonders quietly how much of her own mother she is turning into, all while the feeling of not being enough follows her into her marriage, her body, and her sense of purpose. Joining me afterward to unpack what came up is Shefali Khokhar, a coach, my friend, and a former college classmate I had not seen in some twenty years, who traces her own path from an MBA and a decade in corporate HR into intuitive, image-based coaching and brings that lens to a conversation about anger, guilt, and what we pass down to our children.
