32. Why Nothing Ever Feels Like Enough

Hormones, Safety & Enoughness in Midlife What does it really mean to have enough — and to be enough?In this deeply human episode, Kate Garland unpacks the biology and the soul of enoughness — how our hormones, brain chemistry, and nervous system shape our sense of satisfaction, safety, and self-worth, especially in midlife.You’ll learn why so many women feel restless or “flat” in their 40s and 50s even when life looks full on paper — and how the quiet decline of estrogen, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin changes the way we experience joy, motivation, and connection.This is science through the lens of soul work: equal parts biology, story, and nervous-system wisdom.Because enough isn’t a number or an affirmation —it’s a state your body learns to regulate into.★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not sure where to begin?Feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your head?Get my free 7-minute Anxiety Reset.A simple audio practice to help you calm your body and think more clearly.Feel like your old life no longer fits?Listen to The Second Firing.A free private podcast series for women navigating midlife transitions, reinvention, and the questions that won't leave them alone.Ready for personal support?Book a Threshold Session.A private 75-minute session to help you understand what's happening and identify your next right step.Instagram: @radicallykate
