242. Enough Already: Destination Addiction & Imposter Syndrome
Why do we keep thinking happiness is always in the next season?
In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock dive into Chapters 4 & 5 of Enough Already - Destination Addiction and Imposter Syndrome. These two struggles often keep us from living fully in the present and embracing who we already are.
You’ll hear:
⏳ What “destination addiction” really is and how it robs us of joy
💭 The 5 types of imposter syndrome (and which ones we struggle with most)
🙌 Practical ways to celebrate small wins and be where your feet are
👀 Honest behind-the-scenes stories of leadership, family life, and faith
⚡ Why awareness is powerful but celebration is essential
This episode will encourage you to slow down, embrace the season you’re in, and release the pressure of “should” so you can live free and fully present.
