In this heart-opening episode, Barry sits down with life coach, retreat leader, and author Elizabeth Trinkaus to explore one of the most universal beliefs we carry: the quiet, persistent feeling of “not enough.” With humor, honesty, and decades of experience guiding others toward self-worth, Elizabeth shares how this belief forms, how it quietly shapes our lives, and—most importantly—how we can finally let it go.Together they unpack the stories we inherit, the inner critic that narrates them, and the liberating power of rewriting that narrative with compassion. Elizabeth reveals simple daily rituals to reconnect with your authentic self, the importance of creating space to hear your inner wisdom, and why embracing life’s beautiful messiness is essential to true self-acceptance. From personal breakthroughs to practical shifts in mindset, this conversation is an invitation to soften, breathe, and remember that you are already enough.Resources:Read Elizabeth’s Book: “Enough Already!
