You Are Already Enough (Even When That Voice Says You’re Not)

Alright, alright, alright. I know I haven’t posted anything in a few weeks—and that’s mostly because… I published my very first children’s book. 😭✨

Even typing that feels surreal. It’s something I’ve dreamed about, worked hard on, poured my heart into… and now it’s out in the world. The process of launching it—getting everything prepped, doing the promo, and juggling all the moving pieces—completely took over my time and energy. So, I took a little break from posting. Not because I didn’t want to write—but because I didn’t have the capacity to sit still and reflect. I was in full-on go mode.

But something’s been stirring in me the past few days, and I wanted to take a moment to share it.

Let’s talk about doubt.
Limiting beliefs.
And that voice in your head that whispers, you’re not good enough.

Yeah, that one.

A few days ago, I posted a short video to promote my book. I was proud of it—excited, even. But then I did the thing I knew I shouldn’t do: I scrolled. I came across random people with thousands of views, perfect content, endless engagement—and I immediately thought:

"That’ll never be me."
"My stuff sucks."
"I’m not good enough."

Just like that, I spiraled.

And here’s the thing—I’ve done so much work to unlearn that belief. The one that says I have to constantly prove myself to be worthy. That unless I’m achieving something impressive, or doing something for others, or stacking up wins… I don’t have value.

But old programming runs deep. And sometimes, it still creeps in.

Through a lot of healing and self-work, I’ve learned that I carry this ridiculous internal script that says: "If I’m not producing, pleasing, or performing… I won’t be accepted." That if I’m not constantly earning my place in the world, I’ll be forgotten. Unwanted. Unseen.

And the more I talk to others, the more I realize I’m not the only one.

So many of us walk around with the same quiet fears. The same inner critic. The same gnawing feeling that we’re not enough. That our work isn’t good enough. That we’ll fail. That we’ll be laughed at. That we’ll be exposed as a fraud.

But here’s what I’ve come to believe:
Most of those thoughts aren’t even ours.

They come from conditioning. From shame. From offhand comments, criticism, outdated expectations, and a culture obsessed with perfection. From social media algorithms and highlight reels and unspoken rules about what success should look like.

And unless we become deeply self-aware, we’ll keep running those beliefs on autopilot—like background code in a computer we didn’t even program.

Here’s a wild truth I’ve learned that changed everything for me:
95% of our thoughts are subconscious.
We’re not even aware of most of the noise in our heads.

That’s why self-awareness is key. It’s not just a trendy buzzword—it’s a lifeline. Because we cannot change what we’re not even conscious of. But the moment we notice the belief? We can challenge it. Rewire it. Replace it.

So now, when that voice tells me I’m not good enough, I say—nope, not today.
I choose to believe I am.
I choose to believe I can.
I choose to believe it’s already mine.

And to that nasty little inner voice that says I’m unworthy?
You can sit down and kindly shut the f*ck up.

Because I’m done dimming my light to fit into spaces that don’t recognize it.
I’m done waiting for permission.
I’m done outsourcing my worth to algorithms or metrics or validation from people who don’t even know me.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough—please know, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. You’ve just been programmed with beliefs that were never yours to begin with.

So it’s time to reclaim them.
To get quiet.
To get clear.
And to remind yourself: you are already enough. Just as you are. No conditions. No performance. No approval required.

If this resonated with you, thank you for being here. Thank you for doing the work. Keep going. The world needs your light, your words, your story—even if your voice shakes when you share it.

I’m rooting for you. Always.
