On “Enough-ness”

Eight people showed up to the Ripple Room last month.

You could read it as: only eight people! And you might think it’s a dismally small number in this metrics-obsessed digital space.

Or you could read it as: No marketing strategy. No countdown posts. Just a quiet invitation to pause—and yet, eight people said yes!

I think it was perfect.

We had time. We had space. Everyone spoke. No one rushed. There was a kind of sacredness to it that would've been lost with 20 more faces in little Zoom squares.

It made me realize how deeply conditioned we are to believe that bigger is always better.

That if we’re not reaching hundreds or thousands, we must be falling short. But what if depth matters more than scale? What if touching one life, fully and meaningfully, is enough?

The emails I receive after these sessions confirm this. People don’t write to tell me they were impressed by the number of attendees—they share how a particular moment of connection shifted something for them.

How they created something without any pressure to perform in the moment. How the unhurried space allowed an insight to surface that had been waiting for room to breathe.

I used to chase reach. These days, I am content with resonance.

And I’ve discovered that when I stopped counting followers, true connections multiplied—quietly, organically, without fanfare.
