Ep034: Ever feel you're not doing as well as you 'should' be? Eleanor Ross has written a whole book about this pervasive feeling

<p>Today's guest, award-winning journalist Eleanor Ross has spent a lot of time not feeling good enough. It's taken her (and many others, yours truly included) to some very dark places. </p> <p>She writes about all this with brutal honesty in her new book 'Good Enough; the myth of success and how to celebrate the joy in average'. </p> <p>Eleanor wonders how many of us are just tolerating the lows to reach the fleeting highs, and are actually missing all the big, juicy, creative stuff along the way.</p> <p>This wide-ranging, sometimes humourous, sometimes serious conversation covers why so many of us feel like this and how to deal with it more constructively on an individual and societal level.</p> <p>She also explains how she now nurtures her creativity in a much more joyful, juicy way than she did before when on the capitalist treadmill.</p> <p>Eleanor's puppy Mabel also has a few barks to contribute on the matter (we are in lockdown, after all).</p> <p>Tune in if you want to be inspired to stop beating yourself up, by listening to this ballsy lady who is on a mission to start a revolution. </p> <p>Warning: you may also be inspired to stare at your neighbours alot more after listening, too </p> <p>References:</p> <p>Find out more about Eleanor's book, published by Hodder, <a href="https://www.hodder.co.uk/titles/eleanor-ross/good-enough/9781529336122/"> here</a>.</p> <p>Find Eleanor on Twitter <a href= "https://twitter.com/Eleanorross102?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor"> here</a> (her usual haunt) and Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/eleanorfmross102/?hl=en-gb">here</a>.</p> <p>To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bigjuicycreativeliving/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>Facebook <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/bigjuicycreativeliving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/i
