How does feeling not good enough as a kid impact us when we’re older? What can we do to wise up to a culture that sells us crappy stuff to make us feel better? Does finding the sweet spot of enoughness help?

Enter Aja Barber, a writer with 237,000 Instagram followers, a critically acclaimed book, Consumed, and a fearless attitude when it comes to telling the unvarnished truth about how fast fashion really works. 

Aja Barber doesn’t sugar coat it. In this conversation Melanie and Aja talk about why most people resist the uncomfortable truth and lean into how Aja got the fire in her belly, why it matters, and how she found enoughness for herself.
