| 0:00.0 | This week we are going to break the myth that we can measure up, that we can be enough, |
| 0:06.0 | and I'm telling you it's going to be one of the most freeing concepts you can imagine, so stick with us. |
| 0:11.0 | You are listening to the Made for This Podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | You are listening to the Made for this podcast. Y'all have seen it, it is everywhere, quotes throughout Instagram, Pinterest, everywhere that you |
| 0:28.2 | are enough. |
| 0:30.0 | It is absolutely, probably the loudest message that you can find for your self-esteem online right now. |
