A presenter introduces enoughness as the belief that you are already enough and outlines four calibrating arms—feelings, thoughts/curiosity, words, and presence—using examples and practical framing.
The speaker greets viewers, sets a friendly tone, and describes sitting in a space getting ready to lead while reflecting on what Cadre offers. This orients the listener to the community context and purpose of the talk.
The concept of enoughness is introduced and explained as the belief that you are already enough, with guidance on narrowing ambitions into achievable steps. The speaker frames enoughness as ownership of what is true rather than a magic fix.
The speaker names 'my feelings are enough' as one of the tenets, then reads viewer comments (Rachel) and uses examples — including a playful moon/astronaut analogy — to show how imagination and realistic steps interact with enoughness.
This section explores asking what you need and what is true in the moment to remind yourself of capability and enoughness, restating that enoughness often doesn't feel obvious. The presenter begins outlining how to listen to feelings and curiosities as part of that recalibration.
The speaker names and briefly explains four calibrating arms: feelings (intuition), thoughts/curiosities, words (speaking truth), and presence ('I am enough'). These provide concrete ways to assess and affirm enoughness.
The host describes how enoughness may not immediately lead to action but offers clarity, confidence, and the ability to speak about why you see things a certain way. The talk ends with an invitation to practice this outlook and a brief goodbye.
Well, hey, good morning, cadre. How are we doing on this Monday morning? I hope you are doing really, really swell. I am sitting on the floor in a big empty room, getting set up for one of the things I do. Isn't that what we're all doing? Always setting up for the things that we do. Hey, speak wonder. I think that's one of the great things about what Cadre offers, right? It's not a, hey, here's what I do and you do a similar thing. Therefore, we should hang out and listen to each other because we have a lot of things in common.
I'm getting ready to do the things that I do. Well, you're probably in a similar part of your journey with the things that you do. And that's beautiful. Cadre is a space where lots of different people with lots of different stuff can come together to realize that there's lots of different ways to do this life and lots of ways to be good at doing it and to feel well amidst the moments, the highs, the lows, the in-betweens. I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know the things I know and I care about you.
For a long time in the cadre sphere, I always had at least one day where I would talk purely about the idea of enoughness. It would be Saturdays, but today you're on a Monday. Enoughness is the concept, the belief that you are already indeed enough. In this moment, you are already capable of doing something pretty remarkable. And if you go, well, I can't jump up to the moon, It's like, okay, the way that enough just works is if that's not true, then you need to make the aperture smaller. You may not be able to jump and land on the moon, but you may be able to do something that moves you in the direction of being able to do exactly that.
Or to consider, well, why do you want to do that in the 1st place? Well, if you literally can't do that, then what can you do that would maybe get you to a place of feeling or thinking or or achieving in a way where you go, Hmm, you know what? This is what I was enough to do in that moment. And one of the big headlines of enoughness is enoughness most of the time doesn't feel like it. Meaning enoughness isn't a, Well, once you do these three steps, then all of a sudden all the problems will go away and you'll be able to do whatever you want.
No, enoughness doesn't work that way. Enoughness is a concept that brings you to a place of ownership of what is true. There's 4 tenets, four kind of calibrating arms that you play with in the enoughness journey. And one of them is your feelings are enough. That's your intuition. I'm going to jump into the comments here for a moment and then we'll dive into all about the my feelings are enough. Rachel says the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health is irritating beyond belief. And Rachel, like what a a true authentic response.
For some people it's irritating, for others it's debilitating, for other people it's humiliating, or other people it's, well, if I have to do my mental health in this one way, then maybe I'm not supposed to, I'm not one of those people who's supposed to take care of my mental health. And then Rachel says, you can draw a moon in shock and jump on it. Right? If literally, let's go to Rachel's place. You may want to jump onto the moon because your imagination is playing large. And that'd be exactly the way to do it.
If you wanted to literally jump on the moon, you could go to astronaut school and all of a sudden, wham, bam, thank you, ma'am, you could literally go jump on the moon if that's what you really want and need to be doing with your life. But it's all about going, what do I need and where am I at and what do I have and what is true in this moment that allows me to remind myself that I am capable, I am enough. So the headline, enoughness most of the time doesn't feel like it. The calibrating arm, my feelings are enough.
That's your intuition. You know, there are days where you go, gosh, I'm feeling like I should stop doing this job, or I should stop talking to that person, or I should start trying to, you know, fix this problem, or I should start, you know, and your intuition is telling you something really loud. Then all of a sudden, the realities of the world go, here's why I can't do that. Enoughness most of the time doesn't feel like it. We can listen to our feelings. We can Consider our curiosities. That's our, my thoughts are enough.
You can go ahead and consider the magic and power of your words, right? That's your ability to speak truth and clarity. My words are enough. And lastly, I am enough. That's your presence going like, here's what I know to be true in this moment where I am in my body. And even when we find some truth, you may not be able to act differently. You may go, huh, You know, when I see this problem in the world and I really know that something's supposed to be happening, and it may not be the moment to actually act.
It may be the moment to sit with that discomfort and go, I know why I'm doing this. I know why I'm having this feeling. And that, in turn, is a gift all in itself. Enoughness doesn't always lead to the change you'd want to see. But it does lead to the confidence, clarity, and fire in you being able to speak to why you see it that way. That's my invitation for you today. Enoughness doesn't always feel like it, but it does bear great fruit. Y'all, Rachel, Speak Wonder, Godrace Fear. We'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
