Podcast 68: A Reminder That You Are Enough

from Dose of Wonder · host Caitlin McColl 🇨🇦

This week’s episode dives into the theme of self-worth and the futility of comparison. I draw on cosmic statistics—the staggering 1 in 400 trillion odds of being born—to remind us that existence itself is the ultimate miracle. Through reflections on Neil deGrasse Tyson, Ryan Holiday, Sasha Sagan, and my fave poem Desiderata, I reframe success as gratitude, not measurement.Loved this episode?
