More & Enough: Recent Episodes
Liz Mayfield
A community for women who are a catalyst for change in their community. We aren't interested in being the hero or partaking in hustle-culture. We know our actions must be meaningful to create long-lasting change, so we are intentional with our energy. We are always balancing the difficult work we know needs done with the importance of taking care of ourselves. We are caught in the tension of more and enough.
How do we choose harmony? And how can we ensure that when we choose harmony we aren't valuing homogeny?

It's been nearly a year and a half since COVID was declared a global pandemic. We're currently in what many are considering our fourth wave, with the Delta variant rising in most communities, including ours. I've found myself experiencing so many feelings, and wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and validate the feelings of being a leader during these difficult times.

During the height of the pandemic in 2020, the 'mental load' that women carry became even more evident. This is not a new concept, of course, but the height of shut downs, working from home, and schooling from home highlighted the emotional toll on women. Today we will discuss the mental load, and explore the pressures that often cause shame. I'll discuss some of my own journey through this question: What if we viewed more things as morally neutral?

There have been many articles, books, and podcasts dedicated to the concept of Imposter Syndrome - in fact the concept has been around since the 1970's. I don't think I know a peer who hasn't mentioned struggling with it at some point or another - the feeling like they are a fraud and have fooled everyone into believing they have something they aren't. In today's podcast, we'll take a closer look at the cause and impact of imposter syndrome.

They say it's important to start at the beginning, so what is more fitting than to start the first episode with a glimpse into the heart and intention behind this project. Welcome to Episode 1: What is more and Enough?
One of the themes of More & Enough is identity. What do you want more of? In what ways are you believing that you are not enough? Is that preventing you from experiencing more?

Welcome to More & Enough, a podcast for women leading change within their community and hoping to find balance in leadership. There is so much work to be done - both internally and externally. We get paralyzed with self-doubt when we believe we are not enough - that we're too THIS or too THAT - we miss out on using our voice to create real change. We know we must be intentional with our energy to have a long-lasting impact, but we are caught in the tension of more and enough.
