Why do we feel like we’re not enough - even when we are?
In this follow-up to their powerful first conversation, Dr. Jodi Richardson and psychologist Claudette Foley unpack the hidden forces that make anxiety so hard to shake in our everyday lives. From the thousands of ads we’re exposed to each day, to the curated lives we scroll past online, they explore how modern life feeds discontent — and what we can do about it.
Together, they talk about:
Why advertising is designed to make us feel like we’re missing out
How comparison fuels the anxiety loop (and why it's not just you)
The “joy experiment” — a simple practice that can genuinely lift your mood
What happens in our body when we feel joy (and why that matters)
The emotional weight of parenting in a disconnected culture — and how we can rebuild our village
This episode is full of heart, insight, and practical hope. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the scroll, overwhelmed by pressure, or like everyone else has it more together — this is the reminder you need: you are not alone.
