We’re all going to fail and each failure is a rung on the ladder to success. Sometimes those failures will be grand while others they’re just little slips on the way up. And the best part is that the more you fail, the more amazing that achievement will feel when you get there!

Teens today grow up bombarded with messages about what success looks like, from social media to peers to teachers and parents. Enmeshed in this achievement culture, they are struggling to find their way. Dr. Beth Cooper Benjamin has spent her career researching and working with adolescent girls to identify ways to support them in embracing the process and define their own version of success.

Dr. Benjamin has also learned how in her own work she, too, can let go of the idea of perfection.

In our conversation, Dr. Benjamin and I talk about how to help teens shift away from achievement culture, the expectation of perfection that adults push on teens, the role of parents and educators, and the importance of celebrating the process of growth and learning.

Culture has shown us that perfection is something we should strive for. What that perfection looks like and what we’re aiming for depends on who you are and where you are in life.

This week on the podcast, Dr. Beth Cooper Benjamin shares why we need to shift away from achievement culture, especially as it pertains to our youth. But even the teacher has a lesson to learn.

“Every time I shared a draft of my work with my writing group, I would fantasize that they would all say it was perfect and I shouldn't change a thing...and every time I had to brace for the inevitable ego blow of learning that they had substantive critical feedback to offer (and learning to trust that the feedback always made my work better!).” - Beth Cooper Benjamin

Beth and I talk about the impact achievement culture has on our teens’ mental health, the role parents and educators have in this, and how we can start celebrating the process (and failures) that come with reaching toward a goal.

It’s always surprising to hear of incredibly accomplished people who still live in imposter syndrome. It happens to all of us, that fear of being found out as a fraud or that fear that we’re not living up to someone else’s expectations of us.

I think the most important thing is to find joy in what we’re doing and in our own lives and remind ourselves that we ARE experts in our own right.

Easier said than done. I’ve done a lot of work around this over the years, and the job is never done.

If you haven’t already tuned into this week’s podcast episode, you can hear Christine Alvarez and Eileen Springer talk about some ways through this.

As ambitious women, we like to be in the driver’s seat of our lives and careers. It’s often difficult to know which way we’ll turn when we get to the next intersection. When we’re driving a car, navigation will tell us where to go. But in our careers, we should be our own navigation system.

This week on the podcast, I’m talking with executive coaches Christine Alvarez and Eileen Springer about how to show up for yourself, do the hard work, and start to create the career and opportunities that light you up. For some, that might mean growing in your current organization and for others it might be deciding how to re-enter the workplace after a long hiatus.

The beauty of passing years is that we truly are wiser as we progress through life. We can look back at our experiences and understand the meaning behind some of them and use our wisdom to help us make decisions about our future.

This week on the podcast, Christine Alvarez and Eileen Springer are sharing from their combined experience in the executive coaching and leadership spaces about combatting imposter syndrome and growing into your next best self and professional.

“I have a much stronger sense of my weaknesses that helped me understand my career better.” - Christine

“We are more resilient than we think…Do not go it alone.” - Eileen

This week’s episode is a bit different from any others so far in this podcast because not only did I get to interview two experts but I was also able to do it in person. It was so much fun sitting down with both Eileen and Christine in real life.

Good Enough for Now doesn’t mean perfect. It means you accept where you are right now and build on that for your next version of Good Enough for Now.

This week on the podcast, Lauren Demarest shares more about what that looks like for her.

We all see opportunities every day, but we don’t always act on them. Lauren Demarest did, and she’s now built two businesses simply because she wasn’t able to book an exercise class while vacationing in Greece. On this week’s episode of Good Enough for Now, she shares how and why she took this big leap of faith.

Through the process, Lauren combatted imposter syndrome and mental health challenges that only helped her in her personal and professional growth.

In our conversation, Lauren shares what it’s like to build a business in a country where she doesn’t know the language or culture, how she’s learned to trust herself and her gut, why creating an inclusive wellness community has been such a big priority for her, and how she’s managed her inner critic.

Adversity is all around us and letting roadblocks, even massive ones, get in the way isn’t an option for many of us.

“I used to think that I could do anything, but going through loss, anger, change, and disappointment, I realize that’s more true than ever. The world is yours for the taking!” - Lauren Demarest

This week on the podcast, Lauren Demarest shares some of her own roadblocks as she built a business in the wellness industry that relies on tourism just as travel shut down. But she didn’t give up and even thrived through adversity, loss, and navigating a culture that is the opposite of how she operates.

Lauren and I talk about redefining success, building a business to sell, finding the right team members, and taking a leap of faith.

Women today come from a very different place than women of the past. We have careers before we become mothers, and we don’t have to lose either part of us.
This week on the podcast, Neha Ruch talks more about this and how she’s helping women to maintain that connection to their professional selves, whether they decide to return to work or not.

A lot has changed in our culture around working from home and there’s a long way to go, and much of that work is within our own vision of success. Along with it the definition of stay-at-home moms needs updating, with many moms trying to stay connected to their professional ambitions while being present and involved with their children.

In this episode of Good Enough for Now, Neha Ruch discusses the gray area between motherhood and work and shares how to stay connected to your professional identity even as you choose to stay at home. Tune in to hear more about exploring the challenges of motherhood, embracing the present, and accepting and trusting yourself as a parent working in or out of the home.

Most often, our roadmap for success comes from our upbringing and societal norms. It’s up to us to create our own path, which means doing a lot of self-reflection and learning to trust ourselves.

This week on the podcast, Neha Ruch shares her own story, from watching her mom go back to work to letting go of what her 20-something self sought out, to discovering her own values and sense of self-trust.

It’s okay to shift how we define our career ambition while being present with our children. At the same time, it’s okay to stay connected with our professional life in whatever way makes sense in our own lives.

And I’d be here for this! One of the things I love about the Good Enough for Now podcast is that I get to talk to women (and men!) at all stages of life transitions. It’s about taking our experiences and learnings from our first 40 years so we can make the back half exceptional.

This week on the podcast, Georgina Moore shares how she’s doing this in her own life.

Many women reach a certain point in their careers or lives and start looking for their Plan B. Rather than wait for someone else to decide what that looked like for her, Georgina Moore shares how she created her next chapter, literally, on this week’s episode of Good Enough for Now.

Leveraging some “extra” time she found during the pandemic, Georgina took pieces of life and work experience to write her debut novel, The Garnett Girls.

In our conversation, Georgina shares what it was like to go from book publicist to author to now publicizing her own book and how this experience will help her to be more effective and empathetic with her own clients. We talk about the importance of portraying characters of a certain age in novels and television, how to find time for mothering and doing what brings us joy, and much more.
