What Does it Truly Mean to Feel Enough?

In this thought-provoking episode, hosts Hélène and Dr. Stephanos Ioannou explore this intriguing concept, deconstructing societal constructs that mold our understanding of success, happiness, and fulfillment. Challenging the deeply ingrained societal programming and emotional straightjacket society often imposes.
Hélène recounts a moment where she is overwhelmed with emotion, on the brink of tears, as she is about to board a plane. Sitting there questioning how that would make others around her act.
They discuss how, from childhood, you’re conditioned to prioritize material success over emotional well-being. Questioning the value society places on wealth and status, pondering whether these are true indicators of success or merely distractions from finding genuine contentment.

Hélène and Dr. Stephanos examine how societal expectations shape our self-perception and the choices we make, often leading us down paths that don't align with our authentic selves. They urge you to question these imposed values and discover what genuinely fulfills you on a personal level.
The hosts also touch on the dangers of seeking validation from external sources. They highlight how societal pressures can lead to destructive behaviors, as individuals strive to fill an inner void with superficial achievements or self medicate.
In contrast, they offer a powerful perspective on self-acceptance and the courage it takes to pursue a life aligned with one's true passions and values.
Press play and be guided through a journey of self-discovery, challenging societal norms, and embracing the full spectrum of human emotions.
And remember, you are enough as you are.
