| I’ve missed communicating. I took an amazing trip to the sacred sites in Ireland. The above picture is Trim Castle. Our hotel room overlooked this beauty. It was something walking the tiny stone stairs to the top! We romped all over the island. I came home with a bit of funk from the plane. It’s taken weeks for me to join the living. Glad to be back! The Quiet Voice That Says “Not Enough” — and How to Soften It We all know the quiet voice that whispers, “You’re not enough.” Not creative enough. Not accomplished enough. Not worthy enough. The “not enough” voice is ancient. It was shaped by childhood, culture, survival patterns, and the ways we learned to stay safe in the world. It rarely shouts. It slips in gently, disguised as “being realistic” or “playing it safe,” but underneath, it’s the old ache of unworthiness. This week, during a podcast interview, I was asked what got in the way while I was writing my book. My answer was immediate: Second-guessing myself. It stops my playfulness cold. As I shared this, those familiar waves of unworthiness and imposter syndrome rose up — and to my surprise, everyone on the call said they’ve felt it too. I reminded them we’re in good company. Maya Angelou, Meryl Streep, Michelle Obama, and Lady Gaga have all spoken openly about imposter syndrome. We ended up laughing and agreeing: If they didn’t let it stop them… why should we? Here’s what I know now: Worthiness isn’t earned. It’s remembered. And remembering begins by recognizing the “not enough” voice for what it is — an echo of the past, not the truth of who we are. Each time we notice it, we create space to choose something kinder. Something truer. Something more aligned with the soul. When we soften and be kind to ourselves, we open the door to everything that wants to bloom. Time flies! Don’t let “not enough” thoughts steal any of your joy or creativity. Let your soul shine and your freak flag fly! Big love to all of you. Thanks so much for being here, e’Layne 1 Practice to Tune into Your Body When self-doubt appears, place a hand on your heart. Feel where your body tightens and breathe into that space. Let your exhale soften the tension. 2 Shifts to Observe the Mind…with curiosity and an open heart. Ask yourself: “Whose voice is this?” Most of the time, it’s an old echo — not your truth. Awareness breaks the spell. 3 Quotes and a Question to Awaken the Soul “Worthy now. Not if. Not when.” — Marisa Peer “You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress.” — Sophia Bush “You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.” — Amy Bloom And drumroll…the Question Where does the “not enough” voice still influence your choices — and what might shift if you softened toward yourself instead?
