Simply Enough

Because you are enough, just as you are. Period.

Elizabeth and Zachary

Welcome to Simply Enough!  This podcast was created to celebrate you, because you are enough, just as you are.  Far too many of us have internalized narratives of not-enough-ness or too-much-ness and those pervasive narratives inhibit us from being our authentic selves.  We are on this journey of uncovering and digging up these stubborn, expansive roots and deciding what to do with them.  Join your hosts, Dr. Elizabeth Ignacio and Mr. Zachary Linnert, as we share who we are and what we hope for along this journey.  We will laugh, cry, (I'm not crying; you're crying!), tell stories, laugh at ourselves, laugh at each other, support each other, and support YOU toward seeing and believing that we are all enough, just as we are.  Period!
