Good Enough Is a Life Philosophy: One Therapist's Honest Take on Rest, Creativity, and Letting Go

Co-host Lissy McConnell gets interviewed and delivers one of the most quietly radical takes on self-care we've heard: good enough is not settling, it's surviving with your sanity intact. Lissy talks about working with the sandwich generation, scaling back her hours to protect her nervous system, and why her self-care looks less like a wellness routine and more like a dog on her lap and a really cool stick in her garage. She opens up about her spotty meditation practice, her love of making things with her hands, and what fair play in a marriage actually looks like in practice. This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they were doing self-care wrong.
