The Hidden Weight of Never Feeling Enough

About this episode

Dr. Shefali and Rachel Hollis discuss the impact of feeling 'not enough' on parenting and personal relationships.

On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali sits down with Rachel Hollis, mother of four and multiple New York Times bestselling author, for a deeply vulnerable conversation about healing, self worth, and conscious parenting. Rachel opens up about her recent personal transformation and the lifelong struggle of feeling “not enough,” a wound that quietly impacted her relationships, family, health, and sense of self. Together, she and Dr. Shefali explore how unresolved childhood pain and the little girl within can unconsciously shape the way we parent, love, and live.
