If you're like me, then there's probably been a time when you've felt like this:

"...you're convincing me [to change my life]! And I know I have some development to do, but I start to feel so much lack sometimes when I listen to your episodes! 😉 Like there is so much to do and change that it seems it will take too long and we are starting so late...stuff like that.

I also need to still believe that everyone is on a journey and it is OK if we are far behind the ideal (that's how I feel even though I've come so far)... [And] my husband has a hard time listening to these podcast episodes because he feels that the ideal is pushed so hard that there is no room for grace. But when I spend time with you guys I know that's not how you intend it to come across and not who you are....

I rambled on but I really respect you and your work and how much goodness you're putting out in the world. I'm inspired and depressed by your examples all at the same time 😁😁"

We (Greg and I) can relate to this. We have felt EXACTLY the same way, many times throughout our life as we've pursued our dreams.

That's because being exposed to an IDEAL causes you to feel 'depressed', overwhelmed, and insufficient.

It's the nature of coming face-to-face with a vision of who you could be -- if only you face your fears and pursue your own greatness.

So what do you do when you're filled with both feelings of inspiration and inadequacy?

We walk through it in this episode and explain the approach we have taken -- and are currently taking -- as we continue to pursue bigger and bolder dreams on the journey of creating an extraordinary family life.
