Good enough is… good enough! (and that’s okay)
Hello Beloved!
I’m just going to jump straight into it.
Sometimes I feel like I’m just not hitting the target.
I’m not enough. I’m too much.
And I can’t seem to hit that elusive, ever-moving target of being “enough.”
You feel me?
The thing is – sometimes that changes depending on your season. Heck, it can change depending on the moment!
If you, too, struggle with this at times, this post, may give you some nuggets to ponder. A few of the ideas discussed include:
- Enough lists
- “This isn’t permanent”
- The real goal of motherhood (or parenting or your relationship with others as a Christ follower)
- Win ugly
- Just show up
You Get to Decide What’s Enough for You Right Now
As a friendly reminder to you (and me)…
For you, Beloved, are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10, personalized
You are exactly who God designed you to be. He designed you to do good. You are NEVER “not enough” for Him. He created you to make your unique impact.
(Which, by the way, we unpack during coaching so you can focus on what really matters most to you and cut yourself some major slack on what doesn’t need as much of your time/energy/attention/guilt/what-have-you. Go ahead and schedule your free God-Given Gifts Chat if you’d like some help getting clear on your “good enough.”)
I’m curious – what is “enough” for you right now? Your “I’m not going to beat myself up about this” thing? Hit reply and get back a little cheerleading!
One “good enough” standard for me: cleaning my house less so that I can focus more on projects and relationships that matter more. Will this change again? Most likely. And that’s good enough ; )
I look forward to hearing from you!
You can live intentionally with passion and purpose as God’s beloved right now (without bucketloads of pressure). Take a deep breath and be here now. You’ve got this!

I’m Cortney, a recovering over-achiever and God’s beloved who loves helping fellow Christian women like you embrace your God-given gifts so you have the confidence to live authentically.
I’m also a full-time mama to two sweet little boys, wife to my best friend, motivational speaker, and part-time Christian life coach. Chai lattes, strong coffee, podcasts, yoga, dance, and fairy tales nourish my soul and add sweetness to life.
Discovering the joy of embracing my God-given gifts and who He created me to be was a game-changer—a journey that brought freedom, unexpected delights, and relief from guilt. Finally, I felt free to be myself and ditch the pressure of being someone I wasn’t.
Incorporating those gifts into my day—from weekly planning to deciding on commitments, nurturing my marriage, and parenting—transformed everything. Now, I can’t imagine life without the perspective of fully embracing who God created me to be. I was missing so much without it!
