Enough-ism

It's time to challenge the outdated ritual of baby showers—and reveal how well‑intentioned gifts are actually leaving new moms stranded. Founder of BeHerVillage.com, Kaitlin McGreyes, flips the script on registries, turning them into funding for real postpartum care. Key Takeaways The Disconnect Between Celebration and SupportMoms are often praised for heroic feats—like that doctor delivering a baby while in labor herself—but once the party ends, they’re left to manage on their own. BeHerVillage’s MissionInstead of gadgets and onesies, Kaitlin’s platform empowers friends and family to fund doulas, home‑cooked meals, lactation consultants, mental‑health support, and more. The Power of Community Over ClutterA clean load of laundry, a nutritious meal delivered to your door, or a trusted ear can make all the difference in those overwhelming early weeks. What You’ll Learn How traditional baby‑shower registries became a conveyor belt of stuff—and why that model fails new parents. Real stories of mothers whose postpartum journeys were transformed by genuine community care. Practical ways you can “gift” support the next time you celebrate a new parent, or anyone. Get Involved Visit BeHerVillage.com to see how you can fund meaningful care. Share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that support is the greatest gift.

Eyes closed, heart open. Press play, find a quiet space, and let this conversation inspire you to explore the healing potential of visualization. This episode offers an opportunity to reflect on the power of imagination and voice as tools for healing and transformation. May it guide you inward to reconnect with your voice, your imagination, and your sense of self. Today we welcome guest, Soha Al-Jurf, a voice specialist, depth psychologist, and founder of Voice Coaching for Creatives. Soha combines her expertise in vocal performance and Jungian psychology to help women reconnect with their voices and heal their minds. Learn the transformative role of visualization in calming the nervous system, fostering self-discovery, and breaking free from the constant external stimulation of modern life. And how visualization can serve as a flexible alternative to traditional meditation, particularly for individuals who struggle with stillness. At the end of the episode, Soha guides listeners through a visualization to visit their sacred inner sanctuary—a deeply personal and grounding practice designed to foster connection, clarity, and calm.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s both challenging and transformative. Our guest today is Dawn Albert, CEO and founder of Courage to Answer, a coaching business dedicated to helping white people build racial resilience so they can be true advocates for racial equity. She shares her views on understanding and unlearning the biases that shape people's identities, particularly as people with privilege. Dawn’s story is one of courage and growth. She shares how unconscious biases influence our lives. And she outlines her simple yet deeply profound techniques for how to combat your own unconscious biases on your own. Together, we’ll discuss how bringing hidden thoughts to light can lead to meaningful change—not just within ourselves, but in the world around us. We'll also explore how to step into greater self-awareness with kindness and compassion. And why self-love is about acknowledging the thoughts we’ve inherited, sitting with them, and choosing to grow from them. | ABOUT THE PODCAST: This minimalist wants more.

Artificial intelligence in action is still in its infancy. When AI seems real, human, and like someone you'd trust, it's a perplexing reaction. You can tell that Alexa or Siri is a bot, for instance, but what if you couldn't actually tell an AI-generated podcast from one that was entirely human-created? This podcast--created by podcast producer Rev. Yugen Bond alongside some snarky robots--was written with AI technology. It's a fascinating glimpse into what AI potentially holds for content creation.

Peter Vox, a retired school teacher and professional musician from New York, long battled anxiety and depression. From inside the four walls of one of five different psych wards, he wrote the book "The Psych Ward Notes: Surviving Anxiety & Depression," which chronicles his mental health journey and recovery, which he says is always an ongoing journey. In this episode, Peter talks about finding healing from within a psych ward through therapeutic writing and finding purpose after three different suicide attempts. He is now a certified specialist in mental health and an advocate for people with mental illness.

Hear a snippet of episode 22 where a minimalist and van lifer who grew up in a hoarder's home describes his ongoing journey with materialism, mindfulness, and movement. Clear your space, clear your mind. The “aftermath” of decluttering doesn’t get talked about often. Until now. Through minimalism, Mind-Body-Mastery mentor, Dane Dormio, has discovered fulfilling your true needs means going back to basics. Dormio, who has a bachelor's degree in math and physics, a black belt in Kung Fu San Soo, and a Master's Certificate in 18 Lohan Palms Qigong, leverages essentialism to unleash the creative genius within. In this episode, Dormio talks with Enough-ism about the freedom of having less, utilizing organizational systems to optimize your creative potential, and the importance of being able to find your scissors.
