I Have So Much to Tell You About What is Enough

…Enough. Let's talk about it.I gave up years of my career to motherhood, came back, and built a consulting business that actually worked — and then almost worked myself into the ground protecting it. I'm talking waking up at dawn to get billable hours in on a family vacation in Hawaii, dreading every single morning, watching my whole world shrink down to the size of my laptop. I'd bought the hustle-culture script completely: if you're not doing all the things, it's never enough.This episode is about the day I finally called that off — and the question I've been living with ever since: how much is actually enough? Not more. Not "burn it all down and live a soft life." Enough. And here's what I know as an accountant — enough isn't a feeling you sit around waiting to arrive. It's a number and a boundary you set on purpose.I get honest about how I defined my own enough (and why it looks nothing like the sellable, scaled-up firm everyone kept telling me I should build), the two scripts the internet won't stop selling us — "never enough" versus the soft-life counter-swing — and why neither one answers the only question that matters. Then we get practical: the satisfaction equation, the five types of wealth, and the real work — naming your enough number, drawing the boundaries that protect it, and pricing the true cost of the chase.Because the point was never to keep shoving the ceiling higher for no reason. It's to build a life the future you actually gets to enjoy.
