Author Geraldine DeRuiter reached the dizzying heights of publishing her first book, then experienced the more muted satisfaction of her second. She’s grappled with the realization that external achievements can't resolve core belief of not being "good enough." We contemplate the limitations of external accomplishments in solving our deepest insecurities and the importance of recognizing and appreciating moments of success, even as the goalposts continually move. We cover the profound impact of childhood experiences on our adult drives and fears, the double-edged sword of ambition and the transformative power of vulnerability and human connection.
