    When “Good Enough” Isn’t Enough Anymore

    In this season-opening reflection, Rohene Bouajram invites us into a personal exploration of what happens after we cross the line. Through stories of immigration, identity, and the emotional cost of shrinking, she reveals how survival can become a thermostat that limits what many women of colour believe they are allowed to have.Rohene reflects on inherited ceilings, inherited definitions of success, and the dreams we silence to appear humble or grateful. She shares the moment she realized that good enough was no longer enough and what it means to desire a life that feels expansive, aligned, abundant, and self-authored.This episode invites listeners to question the lives they inherited before they could consciously choose them, reconnect with the desires they whisper only in private, and begin imagining arenas built on truth rather than fear. Rohene closes with four powerful questions designed to help us move toward clarity, courage, and honest self-trust.This opener sets the tone for a season rooted in expansion, honesty, and the freedom to build a life that reflects who we truly are.Resources mentioned in this episode:Newsletter sign-up: https://www.rohenebouajram.comConnect with Rohene:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/Book me to speak: https://www.rohenebouajram.com/speakingWebsite: https://www.rohenebouajram.comAccess resources to redefine your leadership:https://www.rohenebouajram.com/resourcesWatch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BtJQZDpTJL4
