Enoughness is the practice of affirming that you are already, indeed enough. JC will teach the 4 tenets of enoughness and provide ways to apply them to your life.
JC greets viewers, notes the earlier-than-usual posting, and shares that he's at MSP Airport heading to the Boston Marathon. He explains he'll be running as a charity runner for the National MS Society.
JC defines enoughness as the practice of affirming that you are already enough and capable of doing beneficial, nourishing actions. He frames the concept as a way to notice where we sell ourselves short.
JC probes the typical reaction when someone runs for a charity and admits he doesn't have a personal connection to MS. He affirms that it's still valid and meaningful to care about causes that haven't directly affected you.
He discusses how nonprofits can struggle when potential supporters feel less connected—contrasting popular causes like animal rescue with MS fundraising. JC suggests that outsiders who show care can actually amplify impact and change perceptions.
JC asks viewers to name something they care about and encourages them to let the world know they are already enough. He finishes with friendly banter and a warm goodbye.
Well, hey there, cadre. Happy Saturday and happy personal development Saturday. My name is JC Lippold and this is Enoughness 101 coming at you a little bit earlier in the day than usual. I am at MSP Airport, Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport, and I'm getting ready to fly to to Boston today to run Boston Marathon on Monday. This will be a race that I am running for the National Ms. Society and I love being a charity runner. I love running without qualifying. without earning my place by being fast enough or good enough.
Hey, Speak Wonder. Good morning, my friend. Jules, I saw you jump in there, too. Hope northern Minnesota is lovely today. Yeah, so I will be running as a charity runner for Ms. Society on Monday at Boston Marathon. When we talk about enoughness, Enoughness is the practice of affirming that you are already indeed enough. That you are already capable in this moment of doing something beneficial, something great, something powerful and nourishing for yourself. Speak wonder, I love me some Boston. I will be looking for your energy out there, my friend.
When we talk about enoughness, It raises the ideas and kind of shines light on the places where we naturally go, Oh wow, I didn't realize I was thinking I wasn't enough. Places where we were selling ourselves short. So, I have a question for you. When you normally hear someone say, I'm running a race for a charity or for a cause, what's often the first question that people ask? So when I said I'm running Boston Marathon on Monday for Ms. Society, what was your first thought? Well, I'll say, normally, people always ask.
It's like, oh, what a great organization. What's your connection to Ms. Well, I don't have one. I don't have anyone in my circle, anyone in my family who has Ms. who has fought Ms. Ms. has not touched my inner family circle. And you know what? I can still impact and run and care about things that haven't impacted me. You know, later on in next month in May, I'm going to be hosting the Walk Ms. event in Minnesota. And when I host it, I'm going to raise the point to the people who come to this event.
I'm going to proudly say, I don't have a connection to Ms. And I can be a part of changing the way that Ms. is hitting the world. You have causes, do you have things that you care about? Of course you do. How often do you maybe sell yourself short because maybe your connection to the thing isn't as great or intimate as someone else's? I think that's part of the reason why a lot of organizations, a lot of nonprofits, a lot of causes struggle to find support. We raise a lot more money for for humane societies, right, for like dog rescue organizations, than we do for things like Ms.
Why? There's a lot more people who have dogs than there are people who have Ms. And if we have a dog, we go, wow, I feel empowered. I feel enough to be a part of this organization. And I tell ya, whenever I say I'm running for Ms. and people go, what's your connection? I go, I don't have one. I always check myself and I go, Oh my gosh, is it okay that I'm caring about something that maybe I don't have a really innate connection to? Kind of irrational, right? Of course I can. And actually, maybe it's those things that you have more heart connection to, maybe less history connection to.
that you can create the biggest impacts. Because when all of a sudden someone who is close to the thing sees that someone who isn't close to the thing cares about it too, the world starts to change in really good ways. So what's something that you care a lot about today? Simply because you do. Let the world know that you are already indeed enough. Speak Wonder, Jules, my early morning crew. I love it. Look at that early morning hair I'm sporting today. Woo! Have a good day. We'll talk to you later.
