Why You Never Feel Like You Have Enough (and How to Fix It)

Almost nobody actually feels like they have enough. Not really. We chase more money, more space, more results, and the finish line keeps moving. So why does that happen? And how do you actually fix it? In this episode Linda and I dig into contentment and the real reasons so many of us feel like we never have enough. We talk about the secret Paul learned while sitting in prison. We break down three quiet causes: comparison, focusing on what you don't have, and never defining what "enough" even means. Then we get practical with steps like starting a gratitude practice, giving when you feel like you can't, building a survival budget, and letting go of money's grip on your heart. This one is about finding peace with what God has already put in your hands. If you enjoyed this, we'd love to send you a free copy of our book. You just cover shipping.
