“With the plant, when you come in here and you talk to us about what you’re going through, we're able to put together products for you. That puts some of the control back in your hands.”

30: CBD: Getting to the Root of Feeling Good with Sarah Birney

“I believe (maybe to a fault) that we can take care of ourselves and heal. And there's a level to accepting where you're at. And if you have a migraine, you will literally do anything, even if it's hard drugs to get rid of them. And that's okay, too. But when you don't have that migraine, can we dig in and really figure out what's going on?”

28: Self-Accountability: Creating Habits to Thrive

“Whether I chose the veggies over the chips and salsa or chose the soda water over the vodka, I'm like, ‘I will feel so proud, I will feel so accomplished.’ It was so much bigger than really the choice that was right in front of me.”


Have you ever whispered a promise into the mirror, only to watch it fade with the steam? Our hosts Jessica Armstrong and McKenzie Raymond tackle the dance of self-accountability and the profound effect it has on our personal growth in this episode of The Good Enough Podcast.


Imagine transforming procrastination into productivity, and old habits into new milestones. Jessica and McKenzie crack open the discussion on setting achievable goals, revealing how small steps can lead to significant changes. Whether it's the emotional turmoil of breaking promises to ourselves or the triumph of returning to commitments, they navigate the mental patterns that shape our habits. With each anecdote and reflection, they underscore the importance of a fresh mindset and self-compassion on this winding road of self-improvement.


The Good Enough Goddesses celebrate the beauty of adaptability—how the ritual of cacao and the wisdom of Ayurvedic eating can revitalize our health choices and personal identity. They discuss how embracing a 'flexitarian' approach to life allows us to honor our bodies’ needs without being shackled by rigid labels.

27: Money Blocks: Financial Safety to Self Actualization with Alyssa Cotten

“Since the dawn of time, there has been enough money to go around. Unfortunately, we have been told stories that there is not enough. And we believe those stories at our core, which then again, disempowers us and keeps us in scarcity, versus taking responsibility of our own well-being and saying, ‘Hey, I'm an empowered individual. I have empowered thoughts, and I'm going to take empowered actions to generate the money to achieve the life that I desire.’”


Alyssa Cotten, a brilliant money mindset coach for female entrepreneurs, joins our hosts Jessica Armstrong and McKenzie Raymond to untangle the web of financial beliefs and behaviors that hold us back.

25: Perfectionism: Worthiness Over Suffering with Helene-Jane Groarke

“We're so used to being in a society where everything you do needs to have a result, have a product, have something to deliver. Saying you're doing something just because it makes you happy, feels alien to us.”

22: Pleasure: Intimacy, Connection & Sex with Daniela Stevens

“A sex practice is a weekly routine and ritual of creating the space, the opportunity, so that you can step into that space with yourself or with a partner to experience the most amount of pleasure possible. And that’s not the same as scheduled sex.”


Have you ever felt like society's whispers about intimacy and sexual connection have veiled your own desires and sense of self-worth? Together with Daniela Stevens, a trauma-and-attachment informed certified Sex and Intimacy Coach, our hosts Jessica Armstrong and McKenzie Raymond peel back these layers of expectation and judgement. Their conversation traverses the landscape of both personal and shared intimacy, digging into how we can cultivate a more genuine connection with ourselves and our partners. With Daniela’s poignant insights, they examine the societal conditioning that often clouds our perceptions of sex and discuss the transformative potential of vulnerability and presence in our most intimate moments.


Navigating the ebb and flow of desire within intimate relationships can be like a complex dance—one that requires grace, communication, and a deep understanding of our own inner workings, first.

This episode is an invitation to reclaim that space for ourselves, learning to prioritize our pleasure and worthiness.

13: Exchange: The Art of Giving and Receiving

“It's okay, somebody else's truth can be theirs. And if we can, being able to have conversations around it is always nice. But if we can’t, to just understand that their way of giving and receiving is okay. And same with ourselves. We don't have to react back or take it personally, which is not always easy.”


As the holiday season approaches, there's a weighty question on many of our minds - how do we navigate the delicate dance of giving and receiving? From personal experiences, our hosts, Jessica Armstrong and McKenzie Raymond, have learned that this journey touches not just the realm of physical gifts, but also taps into our deep-seated feelings of self-worth and entitlement.


Join in as our hosts candidly share their struggles with giving and accepting gifts and the discomfort that sometimes follows. We've all heard or said, "You didn't have to do that." But what if we shifted that narrative to one of grace and gratitude? After all, every gift received is an opportunity to express joyous thankfulness to the giver, turning the simple act of receiving into a meaningful, reciprocal exchange.


Jessica and McKenzie venture into the realm of energy and abundance. Let's remember, a gift is not always material - sometimes, the most valuable present is simply being there for someone. In the end, everyone has their own form of giving and receiving, and that’s okay. So, as we prepare for the holiday season, let's open our hearts to graciously give and receive in all forms, finding joy in the moments we share.



Key Topics:

  • Topic Intro: Giving and Receiving (01:37)
  • Giving and Receiving with Intention (06:43)
  • Focusing on Gratitude and Acceptance (13:18)
  • Focusing on Balance (18:38)
  • Self-Care, Growth, and Finding Joy during the Holidays (32:42)
